10 Famous Actors Who Have Resigned Themselves To Just Doing Cameos

5. Lindsay Lohan

Well, what else is she supposed to do in such a state? Stick around on a movie set for the entire duration like a regular actor? But there are so many other, more enjoyable things to do! Glance down Lindsay Lohan's filmography (we said FILMOGRAPHY), then, and you'll see a high abundance of roles where this once promising actress is billed as "Herself," which implies, of course, that she's not doing much except turning up, showing that she is - yes - Lindsay Lohan, and that's a wrap. Lindsay is renowned for her ability to not work, so this does all make sense. Even when she took a lead role in a recent movie, The Canyons, directed by Taxi Driver's Paul Schrader, she near-on derailed the entire production and disappeared whenever she felt like she didn't want to oblige her promise to, you know, act. So for the pledge of a quick cash injection, there were cameos in Scary Movie 5, InAppropriate Comedy, Machete, and The Bling Ring (though this was mere archive footage, to be fair). Will Lohan ever manage to get to a place where she can commit to a proper film role? It doesn't look very promising.
