Best cameo roles ever......!

My personal favourites are Ep 6x22 of Fresh Prince with William Shatner appearing...

And....

Philip Michael Thomas (AKA Rico Tubbs from Miami Vice) popping up in Nash Bridges as Nash's old friend "Rick" from Miami........

Dwight Schultz in TNG (Barclay).


Not a cameo as such but a great guest starring role.

Last season of The A-Team when Robert Vaughn joined the cast, and having David McCallum in it for one episode as a former ally, and doing the whole episode in the style of 'The man from UNCLE'..................

Yeah, that was a classic. Totally forgotten about that one.

Kathy Bates in 3rd Rock From The Sun doing her Misery role. That was funny. They had quite a few good cameos on there. They had William Shatner as well.

Which reminds me, best cameo ever: Cylon walking past Face in the A-Team, with the Face doing 'I know you look' (can;t remember the episode, but they stuck it in the clips during the credit).

Re: Best cameo roles ever......!

Futurama episode "Where no fan has gone before", had 5 of the original 7 cast members from Star Trek voicing. Very funny.

Nimoy to Shatner "It's the enemy!"

Shatner "Who Doohan?"

Brilliant.

Fresh Prince also had "Mr. D and Arnold" from Diff'rent strokes on the last ep..
