10 Huge Actors You Didn't Know Were In Music Videos
1. Everyone - Make Some Noise By The Beastie Boys
It would almost be easier to name the people not in this music video. Whereas Nickelback brought in as many famous faces as they could for the Rockstar video in 2005, it was nothing compared to Make Some Noise by the Beastie Boys six years later.
The band went all out with the cameo appearances, alongside the actors playing the Boys themselves. As well as Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, and Elijah Wood playing Mike D, MCA, and Ad Rock, respectively, the video also featured Rashida Jones, Will Arnett, Rainn Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson, Amy Poehler, Mary Steenburgen, Steve Buscemi, Chloë Sevigny, Kirsten Dunst, Maya Rudolph, Will Ferrell, David Cross, Orlando Bloom, John C. Reilly, and Jack Black.
Simply put, there isn't another music video quite like that of Make Some Noise, and this was just the standard length version. There was also a 30-minute video released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of You Gotta Fight.
This longer version also featured, among others, Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci, Alicia Silverstone, Laura Dern, and Mike D, MCA, and Ad Rock themselves. This was the band's penultimate single release before calling it quits, and it's hard to think of a better way to bow out.
