10 Unlikely Film Cameos From Punk & Nu-Metal Musicians

10. Sugar Ray - Scooby-Doo

If we were to suggest "pop punk" and "Scooby-Doo" in the same sentence, anyone who could provide an answer would likely mention Simple Plan's iconic theme song which has taken over the internet.

However, zip back to 2002 and Scooby-Doo's live-action adaption, and you'll spot Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray.

Funky nu-metal cult heroes, Sugar Ray's most mainstream success came just a few years previous to this, when they ventured into a more saccharine sound for single 'Fly' which stormed the charts.

Following 'Fly', Sugar Ray brought out album '14:59', referencing that their 15 minutes of fame were counting down after the single's success. Although an appearance on the soundtrack for Leonardo DiCaprio movie The Beach followed, before a self-titled album released just before the band starred alongside the world's most famous great Dane produced another hit in 'When It's Over'.

Singer Mark McGrath recalls the cameo very fondly.

“I don’t want to brag. It was amazing. We shot it in Queensland, Australia. It was off the coast of Australia on some island. There was a whole Scooby-Doo set. We were there for about a week and there were all these beautiful extras. They partied every night. It was so much fun! It was great. We were in the Scooby-Doo movie, man. It was legendary.”

Midway through this bizarre cameo, Shaggy - portrayed by Matthew Lillard - proclaims, "Anyone else think this is strange?" before McGrath serenades Sarah Michelle Gellar's Daphne.

Yes, Shaggy, literally everyone.
