Filmmaker Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich, Her) has a habit of randomly showing up in the most unexpected of movies, having made cameos in David Fincher's The Game, David O. Russell's Three Kings and, most recently, Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street.

Jonze also made a totally left-field cameo in Moneyball, showing up for a brief scene as the sleazy new husband of Billy's ex-wife Sharon (Robin Wright).

Jonze knocked his small role out of the park (pun intended), even if for anyone who knows what the writer-director looks like, it was impossible not to be distracted by his presence.
