20 Things You Didn't Know About High Fidelity

9. Tim Robbins Made A Cameo For One Specific Reason

Tim Robbins makes a brief but unforgettable cameo appearance in the movie as Ray, Laura's obnoxious new boyfriend who Rob naturally despises, to the point that he imagines violently assaulting him numerous times.

In an interview last year, Robbins admitted that he took the cameo role despite the minimal pay on offer for one main reason: the makeup department promised to create a custom wig for him.

Indeed, his greying mop of hair isn't Robbins' own doing, but a fitted prop which, in fact, he was actually allowed to keep after filming wrapped. Robbins also said the same was true of his Anchorman cameo during the iconic, cameo-filled newscaster brawl sequence.

Better yet, Robbins still has both wigs, and even continues to use them in his Halloween costumes. Brilliant.
