Line 11:
== [[Film]] ==
* [[Carol Reed]]'s hands as Harry Lime's, grasping through the sewer grate in ''[[The Third Man]]''.
* [[Mel Gibson (Creator)|Mel Gibson]]'s hand as some Roman's, pounding in one of the nails in ''[[The Passion of the Christ]]''.
* [[Quentin Tarantino]]'s hands as Landa's, {{spoiler|strangling von Hammersmark}} in ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]''.
* [[James Cameron]]'s hands as Jack's, drawing Rose in ''[[Titanic]]''.
* [[Joss Whedon]]'s hand as [[Dr. HorriblesHorrible's Sing -Along Blog|Captain Hammer's]], punching the remote control on top of the bank van.
{{quote| Entire Cast on the commentary (not [[Commentary the Musical|that commentary]]): JOSS'S FIST!}}
* [[Peter Jackson]]'s hand as Faramir's, pointing at a map in ''[[The Lord of the Rings (Filmfilm)|The Lord of the Rings]]: The Two Towers''.
** Jackson's cameos in LOTR don't end there. In ''Return of the King'', when Shelob drags paralyzed Frodo away, the Sam's hand welding sword that enters the frame gunslinger-style is actually Peter Jackson's.
** More esoterically, he banged the gong which is heard as Aragorn enters Edoras and sees that Eowyn has disappeared.
* [[Dario Argento]] as the [[Hand of Death]] in many of his films.
* Lewis Milestone's hand as Paul's at the famous ending scene of ''[[All Quiet On the Western Front (Literature)|All Quiet Onon the Western Front]]''.
* [[Bryan Singer]] as the silhouetted Keyser Soze in [[The Usual Suspects]].
** Which makes him one of about a half-dozen different people, including ''two'' of the lead actors, to portray Keyser in that film.
* [[Sam Raimi]]'s hand pushing [[Spider-Man (Filmfilm)|Spider-Man]] onstage.
** Raimi walking by and slamming Peter Parker's face with a briefcase in ''Spider-Man 2''
* In ''[[Paul Blart: Mall Cop]]'', at one point producer Barry Bernardi's hand stands in for Adam Ferrara's. It's quite obvious, given the... significant age difference between them.
* An somewhat squicky just-barely-an-example: In the first scene of the film adaption of ''[[Ichi the Killer]]'', Ichi is shown masturbating, with what is supposed to be sperm being shown dripping down later. Turns out it really was semen, supplied by none other than the film's director himself.
* [[Terry Gilliam (Creator)|Terry Gilliam]] is the gorilla hand who turns the book in ''[[Monty Python and The Holy Grail]]'' (the female hand that precedes it is his wife).
* Andy Dufresne's hand loading the gun at the beginning of ''[[The Shawshank Redemption]]'' belonged to director Frank Darabont.
* In Cameron's first scene in ''[[Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Film)|Ferris Buellers Day Off]]'', we see the character's hand reach down and press a button on his speakerphone. The hand was actually that of writer/director [[John Hughes]]; actor Alan Ruck didn't get the movement ''quite'' right, so Hughes did it himself after everyone else had left for the day.
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
Line 37:
* Series creator Agnes Nixon's hand opening the photo album in the old opening titles to ''[[All My Children]]''.
* Mark VII Productions created several [[Police Procedural]] shows including ''[[Dragnet]]'' and ''[[Adam-12]]'', has a trademark video of the "VII" being set into stone by the use of a sledge hammer striking a chisel. The hands holding the hammer and chisel are Jack Webb's.
* At the end of the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' episode ''Last of the Time Lords'', {{spoiler|the hand that picks up the Master's ring belongs to one of the producers.}}
