It's part of the deal, when shooting in a Trump-owned property, that the mogul demands a cameo appearance in the finished film. Such was the case in the carbon copy sequel to the John Hughes-scripted hit - same set-up, different location, with 90s child star Macauley Culkin conning The Plaza Hotel into free rooms and large pizzas.

Much has been written about Tim Curry's concierge character. Set up as the villain, Curry is actually the voice of reason, his only fault seeming to be concern for a lost preteen in New York City.

Come November, there was a chance we'll all be Tim Curry for another four years, concerned with the idea of an immature, clueless wealthy brat prone to tantrums wandering unsupervised in a building in which he should have never been normally allowed.
