10 Great Stan Lee Cameos Not In Marvel Movies

In-joke celebrity cameos were always a mainstay of Mark Wahlberg's semi-autobiographical satire of the lifestyle of a Hollywood rising star and his assorted hangers on, so it's a surprise that it took until 2010's seventh season for HBO to call on the cameo king himself.

The episode "Bottoms Up", which also features appearances from the disparate likes of Jessica Simpson, Aaron Sorkin and Mike Tyson as themselves, delights in throwing together the unusual combination of Lee and porn star Sasha Grey.

Lead actor Vince, who has just hooked up with Grey, brings her to a meeting with the Marvel legend for some reason. "You look familiar," Lee tells her, trying to pinpoint from where he recognises the star of Anal Cavity Search 6.

It's only a very brief appearance from Lee, while Grey got a recurring role as part of her real world transition from porn to mainstream acting. Mostly the gag relies on the perception of Lee as a wholesome older man, a long way away from his Iron Man cameo as a Hefner type or some of the other examples on this list where the long monogamously married Lee has often been portrayed as something of a ladies' man.
