Real Person Cameo: Difference between revisions

* Tony Wilson himself appears as a TV studio technician in ''[[24 Hour Party People|Twenty Four Hour Party People]]''. After his cameo, it is immediately pointed out by the [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|actor playing Tony Wilson]] (the film has [[No Fourth Wall]], at least when dealing with the main character) who then also mentions several other cameos by actual musicians from throughout the film to that point. One notable example features Howard Devoto, the lead singer for the bands The Buzzcocks and Magazine, appearing in a scene featuring the actor playing him, only to turn around and bluntly state that he doesn't remember this happening at all. It's ''that'' kind of [[Biopic]].

* In ''[[Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas]]'', Hunter S. Thompson's alter ego Raoul Duke (played by Johnny Depp) has a flashback in a nightclub where he hallucinates that he sees himself sitting at a table. The man at the table is the real Hunter S. Thompson.

* In the film ''In The Mood'', about a boy who has affairs with two much older women back when it wasn't cool to do that sort of thing (at least publicly), Ellsworth Wisecarver, the boy who had the affairs with the women in 1944, plays a man who accuses the boy of being a communist during a TV interview.

* [[Spike Milligan]] plays his own father in the film version of ''Adolf Hitler: My Part in his Downfall''.
