 List of Hitchcock cameo appearances - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Many of director Alfred Hitchcock's films contain a cameo appearance by Hitchcock himself.
The director would be seen for a brief moment boarding a bus, crossing in front of a building, standing in an apartment across the courtyard, or even appearing in a newspaper photograph (required for the film Lifeboat which otherwise provided no other opportunity for him to appear).
As a recurring theme he would carry a musical instrument - especially memorable was the large cello case that he wrestles onto the train at the beginning of Strangers on a Train.

I believe that the original concept of the cameo was to consist of a big shot movie star mugging for the camera -- just long enough to be seen and to attract an audience to the film, but then before you knew it, they were out of there.
Cameos today usually go uncredited and are so abundant and fleeting that most of them are wholly unoriginal.
For the most part, cameos tend to be inside jokes, which filmmakers like to amuse themselves with.

 Articles - Cameo appearance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
A cameo role or cameo appearance is a brief and uncredited appearance in a play, or by extension, to works in other performing arts such as films and television.
Such a role need not be played by an actor: short appearances by film directors, politicians, athletes, and other celebrities are not unusual.
Cameos are uncredited due to their brevity or a perceived mismatch between the celebrity's stature and the film or TV show he or she is appearing in.

 TheArnoldFans.com: News
Unlike Arnold's one second cameo role in The Rock's "The Rundown", this Prince Hapi scene is closer to a co-starring role instead of a cameo.
The reason this Prince Hapi role is so good is because it takes us back to the "Pumping Iron" or "Carnival in Rio" days when we got to see him flirt onscreen and shine with charisma and humor.
Arnold's character is so jolly and lovable that we are reminded of the REAL Arnold and we feel like we are in the hot tub with The Oak himself...except for the fact he's drunk, randy and in red tights with a Richard Simmons wig.

However, Trek X is not expected to begin filming until the late Summer or even Autumn, and by that time Ryan will have started production on her new television series Boston Public (story).
Previously, it was thought Seven of Nine would only be making a small cameo appearance, similar to the Holodoc's small role on 'Star Trek: First Contact,' and this indeed is what most sources are still saying.
Official details on the film's plot and possible cameo characters aren't expected to appear for at least several months, so until such official info is released by Paramount any Trek X news from unofficial sources should be treated as you would any rumour.

to appear in a "cameo role" for a new feature film he is working on.
Not that he shouldn't be responding to your web site and resume, but if he was considering you for a role, he would have asked you to *audition* not *offered* you the role.
The big hint on this not being a legit job is when he said that only 2 of the 4 lead roles were so far cast....yet, strangely, he was REALLY focused on filling the "cameo" role (which just happened to be a semi-nude role).
