10 Extremely Subtle Movie Cameos That Went Straight Over Your Head

9. Director Martin Campbell Is The Tanker Truck Driver In Casino Royale

Casino Royale has a strong claim to being the best Bond movie ever made. It was directed by Martin Campbell, who also helmed classic Pierce Brosnan outing GoldenEye (good work, huh?).

The man also made a neat little cameo that very few have picked up on in recent times, presumably on account of the fact that we don't really know what Martin Campbell looks like. You do now, though: there he is. Yes, during the scene where Bond travels to Miami and gets into a nasty skirmish at an airport, Campbell plays the poor guy who gets his neck snapped and tanker hi-jacked.

He's in the movie for, oh, five seconds or so, though it's certainly the best "guy getting his neck snapped and tanker stolen" cameo that I've ever seen. And God forbid anybody tries to do a better one. Nailed it.
