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!
32. Boris Karloff in the COHENS AND THE KELLYS TAKE HOLLYWOOD (1932)
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.
