The Film: Casino Royale (2006)

The Role: A man who gets frisked at Miami Airport.

Why You Forgot: Despite the larger-than-life persona that most attribute to the Virgin Group founder, it's quite simple for his cameo appearance in Daniel Craig's first outing as 007 to quietly slip under viewers' radar.

Over the years, he's turned up on shows like Friends, lent his voice to The Simpsons and even made another cameo the same year as his Bond appearance in Superman Returns. For those not keeping a watchful eye out, it's easy to miss the cameo that amounts to just a few seconds of screentime and served as a thank you for his allowing the use of Virgin Atlantic planes later in the same sequence.
