Defines Cameo


Defines Cameo

This means that a famous person will appear in the background, or say one or two lines.
The reasons this is usually done is marketing. If you make a movie but can't pay a big name actor full time then you might be able to get a cameo. This allows you to put that actor's name on the movie and raises the visibility of that movie.
Another reason might be the cameo is someone deeply involved with the writing or directing of the movie, but is not an actual actor. Examples are Alfred Hitchcock and Stan Lee. However, I was to appear in Slenderman (2018) playing as a cop who escorted a girl home from killing herself but that scene was ultimately cut from the finished film.

It means that either a very popular actor or the director/script writer/whatever of the movie has a little role. He/she is only shown a few seconds or only says one sentence in the movie.

Examples:

·         Alfred hitchcock in the man with the most cameo roles in the world
·         Stan lee(marvel comic writer) has done serveral cameos in almost each of the mcu movies (ant man: he is a barkeeper in the second story louis tells antman)
·         Ansel elgort has a cameo in the latest john green movie adaption called paper towns. When quentin's crew visits a gas station he plays the man behind the count with a dragon tatoo who asks lacey wether she likes dragons

·         The original meaning was to create a small gem by cutting away the background so that a figure stands out in relief. The Romans became masters of this art (or at least the slaves in their workshops did).
·         The usual meaning starting in the 20th century was in the film industry, where a famous actor who agreed to play a very small role, often listed in the opening credits as "with a special appearance by X", was mentioned in reviews as having "played a cameo role." The meaning was that it was small but it was of high quality.
