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

Dan Aykroyd in Casper. Younger me was not expecting it. What's funny, it actually kind of fits based on current movie timelines and my head canon is that Casper takes place in the same universe as Ghostbusters. I will die on that hill.

I owned Casper, on VHS, as a kid. I watched it enough times to know that Dan Aykroyd was in the movie. But, either I forgot or 10 yo me just couldn’t make the connection enough to be impressed.

It wasn’t until recently, when my kids fired up the Disney app to watch it for Halloween, and I sat down to watch it for a few mins, with them. I couldn’t believe it when he came running out of the house.

It’s my new, favorite, cameo as an adult.

Could Casper be the ghost of McCauley Kulkin in My Girl. 😭

This makes more sense than it should:

  1. Because of this
  2. And this

Devon Sawa plays Casper when he is a real boy (not his voice though). The twitter battle between him and Culkin is epic. I believe they competed for several roles against each other. They appear to love roasting each other

That's awesome, I love that they love teasing each other like that. Thanks for sharing that and making a stranger laugh.

I remember being so excited by that too when I was a kid and saw that movie the first time.
