10 Famous Uncredited Roles You May Not Have Noticed

6. Jason Statham - Collateral

DreamWorks Pictures/Paramount Pictures

It's a real 'blink-and-you'll-miss-it' moment from the Stath, but the Transporter star crops up in Michael Mann's Collateral as the bag-man that rendezvous with Tom Cruise's hit-man in the airport. They bump into each other and, barely exchanging words, go their separate ways... with each other's suitcases.

It's the last you see of Statham for the rest of the film and some see it as a nod to his character in The Transporter - Frank Martin. The scene plays on the film's famous 'no questions, no names' motto and some even believe Statham is actually playing his character from the franchise; the moment in Collateral serving as a little bride-scene between the first Transporter and its sequel. It also ties in with Tom Cruise's character Vincent and his sensibilities of never meeting anyone and always remaining anonymous. Obviously, this could all be fan speculation but it certainly adds another layer to a very enjoyable cameo.
