In addition to playing C-3PO and Jar Jar Binks respectively in the second of the Star Wars prequels, Anthony Daniels and Ahmed Best also appear in humanoid cameo form during the sequence where Anakin (Hayden Christensen) and Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) capture assassin Zam Wesell (Leeanna Walsman).

Inside the flashy Coruscant Outlander Club, just as Wesell's arm is sliced off by Obi-Wan, Daniels can be seen playing a grey-haired patron of the club who turns around to observe the commotion.

And this being Star Wars, of course Daniels' character - who appears on screen for mere seconds - has a name, Dannl Faytonni, which is evidently a reworking of his own real name.

As for Ahmed Best, he can be spotted in the very next shot after Daniels, similarly turning his head to look at the action. As for his name? It's a similar riff on his own - Achk Med-Beq.

Given that both Daniels and Best have spent almost their entire Star Wars tenure with their real faces concealed, you couldn't be blamed for missing them here.
