*** This is OlderThanTheyThink. Stan Lee had cameos in Marvel comics from the beginning; unlike in the movie, he was not denied access to Sue and Reed's wedding. One more memorable (and more recent cameo) casts him as the priest who marries James Hudson and Heather [=McNeil=] (Guardian and Vindicator of AlphaFlight.)

to:

* Sonic Team's Saturn firefighting game BurningRangers has you rescue civilians, who email you with letters of thanks after each mission. Several of the civilians are Sonic Team members, who include cheat codes, production sketches and the like with their emails. (There's also a real-life Japanese poet whose name this troper forgets who sends you a couple of poems - she's a friend of then-Team head Yuji Naka.)




to:

** Pixar does this all the time, usually because the director does a placeholder voice for a minor character and it ends up good enough to be kept in. In FindingNemo, head sea-turtle Crush is director Andrew Stanton; ToyStory 3 has Lee Unkrich as the jack-in-the-box who yells "New toys!" when the gang arrive at Sunnyside; Up's co-writer Bob Peterson voices both Dug and Alpha. There's probably others.

* Jan Kantůrek, the Czech translator of Terry Pratchett's ''{{Discworld}}'' books, managed to include himself in his translation of ''{{Discworld/Jingo}}''. At one point, a character says that Carrot talked like "a little schoolteacher"; naturally, he translated the word as "kantůrek" ("little teacher"), and italicized it for good measure.

* John Waters has these fairly often. Mostly he'll be heard rather than seen - he's the uncredited narrator of ''Pink Flamingos'', the voice of Ted Bundy in ''Serial Mom'', and a prank-calling pervert in ''Pecker'' for example. He also has cameos in both the original ''{{Hairspray}}'' and the film version of TheMusical: In the former he has a couple of brief scenes as Penny Pingleton's psychiatrist, and in the latter he's a flasher.
