10 More Best Movie Characters Who Only Appear In ONE Scene

Cameos where famous actors play themselves don't get much funnier, surprising, or more howlingly self-aware than Bill Murray's single-scene appearance in Zombieland.

Murray plays a slightly exaggerated version of himself who terrifies Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) and the other survivors after they break into his mansion.

Murray surprises the heroes by wearing zombie makeup, allowing him to move around town undetected by the real undead.

After Tallahassee gushes over Murray, the pair get stoned with Wichita (Emma Stone) and re-enact scenes from Ghostbusters.

Tragedy abounds, however, when Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) mistakes Murray for a real zombie and fatally shoots him in a panic.

As Murray bleeds out, Little Rock (Abigail Breslin) asks him if he has any regrets, to which he hilariously replies, "Garfield, maybe."

You can argue that Murray isn't so much playing a character as he is playing a slight caricature of himself, but he still manages to steal the movie in a scene that's far more creative and inspired than a typical fan-serving celebrity cameo.
