Re: 4 more

Ted Raimi ; Sam Raimi's brother, has been on Xena: TWP and, the Evid Dead movies, Candyman, Darkman, Spiderman

He was also a regular cast member of Seaquest DSV, along with genre vets Roy Schnieder and Michael Ironside.

Clint Howard ; Ron Howard's brother, has been on various Star Trek episodes and over 100 movies!

Who could forget the little alien in the classic TOS episode, "The Corbomite Maneuver."

Liam Neeson ; Star Wars I, Darkman, Krull, Excalibur, Arthur the King

He wasn't the cyclop in Krull, was he?

Speaking of Hercules: The Legendary Journey, who could forget Karl Urban's first US TV appearance?

Heh naw he was one of the bandit guys I believe. I think he wielded an axe or something. I'll have to watch the video again tonight to see.

IIRC, Mark Hamill guest-starred as a villain on the CBS' short-lived superhero TV series, The Flash.

He also had a cameo on Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back as a certain crotch knocking villain.

I think that was Bull from Night Court.

It's not a cameo when it says 'look everybody, it's Mark Hamil!' in size 20 font next to him.....

So a cameo is when no one knows it's him?
Besides, his part was rather small.

Although probably better known for his roles as the Slave Trader in Gladiator and as the Prison Warden in The Mummy, Omid Djalili's guest appearance on Relic Hunter, role as Castor in the made-for-TV movie Jason and the Argonauts and minor role in the also made-for-TV Cleopatra should qualify him in this thread. Looks like Dean Stockwell has also paid his dues...

Stan Lee's cameos in Spiderman and DareDevil were pretty obvious. Mark Hamil's cameo in Jay & Silent Bob strike back was overkill.

Brian Blessed. Definitely Brian Blessed. Does Alan Rickman count? Because if he does, he's up there.

Demiurge out.

The man with a face only a blind mother could love....Ron Perlman. This guy was just born to make sci-fi movies.
