Tom Cruise – Tropic Thunder
This is the cameo that made Tom Cruise haters change their minds about him being a one-dimensional action actor. Not only is this guy clearly versatile, he is great at comedy – and can really dance!
He gave his friend Ben Stiller the idea of adding the mean film executive Les Grossman in Stiller’s new comedy Tropic Thunder. Tom had an oddly clear vision about how to do the character, and told Ben he wanted to have big hands, be fat and rude, and dance. Ben was hesitant at first, but as soon as he saw Tom act it all out – he loved it, just like we all did.
Ryan Reynolds – A Million Ways To Die In The West
This hilarious 2016 western comedy had a nice amount of fun and surprising cameos, but we’re gonna focus on our favorite; Ryan Reynolds. This actor has done it all, from horror to superheroes. But we kind of love him most for his amazing comedy skills.
In A Million Ways To Die In The West, he literally appears for two seconds, and doesn’t utter a word. It’s all physical comedy, as he plays the random cowboy whom Liam Neeson’s character shoots in the saloon. But it’s still such a great cameo.
