A cameo originally was---and still is---a carving, as of a bird or a human figure, which appears in relief on a vase, a piece of jewelry or other object. A cameo is raised above the surface and is the opposite of an intaglio, which is carved below a surface. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, "cameo" came to also mean "a short literary sketch or portrait" and now refers to any small role in a movie, usually a non-speaking role and usually involving a well-known actor. Twenty-five of the mostest bestest cameo appearances can be seen at:
