Title: 100 actors playing 'themself' in a movie...
Post by: zombie no.one on March 22, 2023, 02:38:44 AM
not had one of these in a while? I think we can do this...

Actors who played themself in a fictional (or at least semi-fictional) movie... either as the main character, supporting role, or just brief cameo. even if they're playing an obviously exaggerated or unreal version of themself.

- once a movie has been nominated, it can't be nominated again. want to end up with 100 different movies... (and only 1 nomination allowed per reply as usual)


1. Jean-Claude Van Damme in JCVD (2008)


EDIT: can now include any celebrity or well known person playing themselves, not just actors

(https://i.imgur.com/M8GFOI5l.jpg)

"I’ve always just loved to kill. I really enjoyed it. But then I got famous, and – it’s just too hard for me. And so many witnesses. I mean, *everybody* recognized me. I couldn’t even lurk anymore. I’d hear, “Who’s that lurking over there? Isn’t that Merv Griffin?” So I came to Europe to kill. And it’s really worked out very well for me."

Ah… he is briefly in the film right near the end, being interviewed as himself. Didn’t know he was in it as a zombie as well :)

Edit - at 0:30 here

He doesn’t even speak and is onscreen for 1 sec, haha… the weird thing is they actually filmed a whole interview, it’s in the extras. Couldn’t remember how much of it was in the actual film. Not much!

33.  Jason Mewes (Jay from the ... and Silent Bob fame) appears as himself in Feast. 

In the movie, whenever they show a character for the first time, they also show a life expectancy for the character in the movie.  With Mewes they say he's already exceeded all expectations.

If he's playing a doctor is he playing himself?

Come to think of it, I think that applies to Hitchcock too. Did he ever actually play himself in his movies, or was he just an extra?

nope... however he does play himself in A CAT IN THE BRAIN (so that can be #88, and FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY is #89 and SUNSHINE ON LEITH is #90)
