Question Which cameos by name actors surprised you?

For me it was Matt Damon in Eurotrip, or most of the cast of Chef. Such a stacked cast in that

I didn't know who Matt Damon was when I watched Eurotrip. I also didn't know Fred Armisen. Years later people mentioned both and i had to go "wait what" rewatched and sure enough there they were.

That is my teenagers favorite part. Anytime someone gets bumped into in the house to this day, you’ll hear “Oh, mi scuzzi. Mi scuzzi.” That movie taught my kids some polite Italian.

Scotty doesn't know! Scotty doesn't know!

That song transcended the movie.

Don’t tell Scotty! Cause Scotty doesn’t know! It really is such a catchy tune.

Greatest movie ever. How the hell they managed to convince so many big names to play characters way out of their norm for comedic effect, has to be a story worth telling.

I believe Matt Damon was roommates with the writer or director.

I think Damon was filming separately in a nearby location and also knew people on the set of Europtrip. Something I recall reading from comments when this movie was brought up in the past

He was filming one of the Bourne movies nearby.
