10 Hilarious Hidden Details In Comedy Movies

3. Jim Carrey Cameo - Liar Liar

Only one comedy legend could get away with making a cameo appearance...in a movie they're already starring in!

During a scene in 1997's Liar Liar which takes place after Jim Carrey's Fletcher Reede crashes a mobile stairway, a crowd of people all gather around the injured compulsive liar-turned-cursed-truth-teller.

Yet, amongst the flock of people - which includes Reede's concerned ex-wife Audrey (Maura Tierney) and his young son (Justin Cooper) - you may recognise another familiar face seemingly going about their work in the background.

Fire Marshall Bill, a character played by Carrey on the popular sketch show In Living Colour, is seen speaking to somebody on a walkie talkie dressed in a fire fighter uniform behind Audrey and her current boyfriend Jerry (Cary Elwes).

With the character having no clear lines and wearing dark shades throughout his surprise appearance you'd be forgiven for completely overlooking this unexpected cameo. But, once you catch Carrey's unmistakeable grin popping up over the shoulder of Elwes, you won't be able to watch this 90's comedy classic without noticing the film's star making a priceless guest appearance in his own movie.
