Once Upon A Time in Hollywood: All the cameos explained

Once Upon A Time in Hollywood is Quentin Tarantino’s love letter to 1960s Tinseltown. In Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, we follow Rick Dalton, a star whose career is in decline, and Rick’s stuntman, Cliff Booth, played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. But who else have cameos in the film?

Who has a cameo in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood?

Needless to say, the film is littered with famous faces, from those playing roles and the roles themselves.

Many would probably not count as cameos, as they may have lengthy scenes or be in a couple of scenes throughout the film.

But in the cameo-status, Michael Madsen is certainly there, as he arrives with just one line.

The actor, who is a very frequent collaborator with Tarantino, appears as a Sheriff in a blink-or-you’ll-miss-it moment.

Another who could possibly be in the cameo category is Damian Lewis.

The eery-haired Brit plays Steve McQueen in a very fleeting scene in the movie, alongside the late great Luke Perry, who plays Wayne Mauder.

The final grasping-at-straws cameo could be awarded to Bruce Dern, who plays the ranch owner George Spahn, a real life rancher who let out his property to the Manson family.

His scene is more lengthy so his presence is overmuch on the edge of non-cameo.

In the non-cameo category are a long list of celebs, including Lena Dunham, Emile Hirsch, Kurt Russell, Dakota Fanning, Timothy Olyphant and Al Pacino.

Does Quentin Tarantino have a cameo?

Yes he does! But like some of his other cameos, including that of Jackie Brown and The Hateful Eight, he does not appear in the movie, but it is his voice which is heard.

Tarantino yells “cut” in the taping of an advertisement in the Once Upon A Time in Hollywood post credit scene.
