Talk about revealing cameos! Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we’re looking at instances when an actor wasn’t on screen for long, but they showed A LOT of themselves. To our YouTube overlords looming over that demonetize button, we’ll try to keep things PG… well, an 80s PG.

00:00Alright, gentlemen, free your mind.
00:04I'd like to free something.
00:06Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking at instances when an actor wasn't on screen for long,
00:10but they showed a lot of themselves.
00:12To our YouTube overlords looming over that demonetize button, we'll try to keep things PG.
00:17Well, an 80s PG.
00:19Nothing official. Just a little token of my appreciation.
00:2610. Marlon Ackerman
00:29Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.
00:31Hitching a ride with Freak Show, played by an unrecognizable Christopher Meloni,
00:36our titular duo is introduced to Marlon Ackerman as his wife Leanne.
00:40Oh, hi boys.
00:42To say that Leanne is out of his league is more apparent than Freak Show's boils.
00:46Nevertheless, Leanne loves Freak Show, making it all the more jarring when she inquires about a threesome,
00:51which her husband is seemingly okay with.
00:54You assume we don't know how to have a good time?
00:57I just...
00:58Unbuttoning her shirt, Leanne shows some good old hospitality.
01:01Things turn violent once Freak Show walks in,
01:04although sex is put back on the table when he suggests a foursome, sending the boys running.
01:09Since we're all here, how about a foursome?
01:13Reflecting on her performance almost two decades later, Ackerman says,
01:17I still get the occasional fan, and knowing that they've seen me in the movie, I always feel myself blushing.
01:239. Jo Beth Williams – Kramer vs. Kramer
01:26Meryl Streep won her first Oscar for playing Joanna Kramer,
01:30a woman who runs out on her husband and son.
01:33Before auditioning for this role, Streep was originally cast as Phyllis,
01:37a co-worker who has a one-night stand with Dustin Hoffman's Ted.
01:41This small role ultimately went to Jo Beth Williams,
01:43who wore nothing but a pair of glasses for her big scene.
01:46That's a glass. The bathroom's over there.
01:48Crawling out of the bed in the morning, Phyllis accidentally crosses paths with Ted's son Billy.
01:52Hi.
01:53As Phyllis attempts to cover herself, Billy has a few questions, although not the ones you'd expect.
01:58Do you like fried chicken?
02:00Williams feared her nudity would traumatize child star Justin Henry,
02:04having visions of him spending the rest of his life in therapy.
02:07Thankfully, Billy's casual reaction mirrored Henry's in real life.
02:11Kramer, I just met your son.
02:138. Priscilla Barnes – Mallrats
02:16Priscilla Barnes posed nude for Penthouse before breaking out in the final seasons of Three's Company.
02:21For Kevin Smith fans, though, she's best recognized as Miss Ivana from Mallrats.
02:27Seeking relationship advice, Brody takes T.S. to see a topless fortune teller.
02:31The guys get more than what they paid for.
02:33Ivana doesn't possess a third eye, although she does have a third nipple.
02:37Or so it seems.
02:38As Brody attempts to look away, T.S. is more drawn to Ivana's mind,
02:42as she proves surprisingly insightful.
02:45He doesn't even notice the third nipple, which we later learn is fake.
02:48And edible.
02:49What are you talking about?
02:51We're a little bummed the nipple wasn't the source of her powers, but you know what they say.
02:55Two's company, three's a crowd.
02:577. Nina Hartley – Boogie Nights
03:00Given the subject matter, it's only fitting that Boogie Nights would enlist a few actors from the adult film world.
03:06Discussing why Paul Thomas Anderson cast her, Nina Hartley said,
03:10He knew that as an adult performer, nudity is my uniform, and so he wouldn't have to coddle me.
03:15Hartley has a brief but essential role as little Bill's wife, played by William H. Macy.
03:20Bill repeatedly walks in on his wife committing adultery.
03:23Although their relationship is darkly humorous, our hearts break for Bill,
03:27as his wife callously treats him like nothing.
03:30Go sleep on the couch.
03:32Everyone underestimates how much Bill is hurting, eventually being pushed over the edge.
03:36This marks the beginning of a dark age for our characters, as the carefree 70s come to a close.
03:466. Tyler Nilsen – Walk Hard – The Dewey Cox Story
03:50What's for breakfast? Hi, I'm Dewey Cox. In my house, it's Cox sausages.
03:57Talking with his wife over the phone, musician Dewey Cox finds himself surrounded by others in the natural state.
04:03Well, the tour's going real great, baby. We're having a real nice time.
04:07Among them is a roadie named Bert, who we initially only see from the waist down.
04:11Bert asks Dewey if he'd like some coffee, although they don't have this conversation face-to-face.
04:16Who's that?
04:17Oh, that's just my roadie. Just wants to know if I want any coffee.
04:20According to co-producer-slash-co-writer Judd Apatow, Bert was played by Tyler Nilsen,
04:25who has since gone on to direct films like The Peanut Butter Falcon.
04:28There.
04:29Gentlemen.
04:30Before that indie darling, Nilsen's appearance in Walk Hard was perhaps his greatest contribution to cinema.
04:36I don't know. I'm talking to my wife, Bert.
04:38The DVD even dedicated a special feature to him entitled Tyler Nilsen – A Cockumentary.
04:44We guess Nilsen puts the Cox in Dewey Cox. Seriously? Somebody got paid to write that last line.
04:515. Jenna Jameson – Private Parts
04:54Howard Stern plays himself in this autobiographical film
04:57about how he became New York's most controversial radio personality.
05:01On the road to receiving his reputation, Stern conducts a live interview with a nude woman named Mandy.
05:07Oh, look at this, Robin. This is unbelievable.
05:09The underpants are coming off.
05:11Although Mandy only had a handful of lines,
05:13casting proved challenging with the filmmakers seeing dozens of women.
05:16Yet only one was right for the role – Jenna Jameson,
05:19an adult film actress who recently won several top newcomer awards.
05:23She was also a frequent guest on Stern's radio show.
05:26What made you come up?
05:30I wanted to meet Howard.
05:32Jameson's full frontal appearance here played a prominent part in her ascension to adult film royalty.
05:37She had no problem doing retakes, although the PAs kept trying to give her a robe.
05:41Jameson thinks they were more uncomfortable than her.
05:444. Stormy Daniels – The 40-Year-Old Virgin
05:48Before getting entangled in the former president's legal affairs,
05:51Stormy Daniels made a couple of cameos in Judd Apatow's productions.
05:55Their first collaboration was in The 40-Year-Old Virgin,
05:58as Andy tries to, um, practice with the tapes that David loans him.
06:03It's nothing official.
06:05Just a little token of my appreciation.
06:10In the film's unrated version, we see even more of Daniels
06:13as Andy's sexual fantasies fall flat.
06:16Okay, new tape.
06:17When considering who to cast for this role,
06:19Apatow didn't want to make any actresses feel uncomfortable.
06:22So, someone from the adult film world seemed like their best bet.
06:26Daniels, who had already made a name for herself, answered the call.
06:29Stormy Daniels is in, uh, she's in both Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin.
06:34Um, we...
06:36Her IMDb is really varied.
06:40Daniels returned to play a lap dancer in Knocked Up,
06:42and a photo of her as Red's wife can even be spotted in Pineapple Express.
06:473. John Cena – Trainwreck
06:50For our money, Trainwreck marked John Cena's transition from wrestler to movie star,
06:55even if it was just an extended cameo.
06:57He's hot, right?
06:59In that short time, Cena demonstrated how far he's willing to go for his craft.
07:03In bed with Amy Schumer's character,
07:05Cena's Steven kills the mood with his misguided dirty talk.
07:08While Steven is ultimately satisfied, Amy is just left confused.
07:12The scene was loosely based on Schumer's real-life experience
07:15with a guy who was way too athletic.
07:18Me, my CrossFit queen.
07:21That's my dream.
07:22Cena revealed the full extent of his athleticism,
07:25showing more than just his chest.
07:27Although Cena was almost entirely naked,
07:29a prop was used to emphasize a certain region of his body.
07:33After that, streaking at the Oscars sounds like a breeze.
07:362. Leah Beldam – The Shining
07:39Swiss model Leah Beldam auditioned to play an extra in the Overlook Hotel's ballroom.
07:44Noticing the nude photos in her portfolio,
07:46the casting directors gave her a more substantial role.
07:49Entering room 237, Jack Torrance finds a bathing beauty.
07:53Jack locks lips with the glamorous ghost,
07:55but the film's most sensual scene quickly escalates into the scariest.
08:02Instead of Beldam, a disturbed Jack pulls away
08:05to discover a rotting woman, played by Billy Gibson.
08:08Despite her limited screen time,
08:10Beldam was on set for a week, kissing Jack Nicholson roughly five times per day.
08:14Between takes, a woman helped Beldam dry off and robe.
08:17This wasn't as repetitive as putting on Gibson's grotesque makeup,
08:21which took an estimated five hours per day.

08:401. Susan Baccalini – Jaws
08:43Susan Baccalini started her Hollywood career as a stuntwoman and extra.
08:47She'd make her acting debut as Chrissy Watkins,
08:50better known as the first victim in Jaws.
08:53Where are we going?
08:54Swimming!
08:55Sending a nude photo of herself to the Jaws crew,
08:58Baccalini established that she wasn't afraid to show skin.
09:01She was also a good swimmer and could handle the dangerous stunt,
09:04which required her to be pulled back and forth in the water.
09:08Baccalini's convincing performance had everyone afraid to go back in the water,
09:12especially without a swimsuit on.
09:14Where this opening scene left audiences screaming,
09:17Baccalini's cameo in Steven Spielberg's 1941 had audiences laughing.
09:22Instead of getting yanked underwater,
09:24a submarine pulls Baccalini's skinny-dipping character above.
09:27In both films, Baccalini arguably had the most memorable moment.
09:31Which nude cameo did you pause the longest?
09:34Which nude cameo did you pause the longest?
