24 Hour Party people, a movie about Factory Records, has a bunch of the actual people involved with the bands in the film.

Tony Wilson, the central character, plays a director who cuts Steve Coogan's version of himself intro the UK's Wheel of Fortrune
The guy from the Stone Roses is a audio technician
Paul Ryder, bassplayer for Happy Mondays, is a drug dealer.
The guy from the Fall has sex with Tony's Wife in a bathroom

Plus Christopher Eccelston is a homeless guy, Simon Pegg as a jouranlist, Kenny Baker is a elephant washer and not really a cameo but in a "i had no idea that was him" part Andy Serkis played Martin Hannett.

This is unrelated to the thread, but man, the drug deal scene in Boogie Nights ruled. Thomas Jane was great in that scene and so was everybody else too. What an incredible combination of comedy & tension set to great 80's music.

I have a serious Mandala Effect with that scene, in my mind it was Jessie's Girl, but no, its Sister Christian.

Did Band of Brothers ever show a pair of testicles at one point? Because rest assured that was another famous actor present who was unknown at the time.

Yup, Tom Hardy's balls.

I need to watch this again because I saw it when it came out and don’t remember any of those guys in the movie!

I need to rewatch “Control” as well

There's literally a scene in the movie where Steve Coogan points out many of the cameos. John Simms is basically in a cameo as Barney as well.
