  • Oscar Katie current as the first fish in history to ever take on a shark and win.

  • Tell me does this mean you're now protector of the reef?

  • Sorry, sorry, Number six.

  • Emily Blunt.

  • The Muppets a Quiet place Star, Emily blunt.

  • A similarly styled blunt has finally made it to paris but is now working under the equally self important miss Piggy at vogue.

  • Nowadays, he's better known for his incredibly controversial tenure as the 45th president of the United States.

  • His home alone two part was once a lighthearted cameo for adults akin to Paris Hilton's appearance in the cat in the hat though his screen time is limited to a quick scene where he gives Kevin directions, it now carries a certain weight.

  • Excuse me.

  • Where's the lobby down the hall and to the left.

  • Thanks.

  • Rodriguez's R rated action film of the same name, sees him bringing the same part to life once more.

  • Still they went all out to make adults chuckle with the referential cameo.

  • Hasselhoff, nothing can stop us.

  • Miles Unidentified object off the Hind 4th.

  • Hasselhoff even runs to the to cartoon pals in slow motion in the trademark Baywatch style number two dan Ackroyd as ray stance, Casper ray stance has no trouble fighting ghosts in the 1984 film Ghostbusters, but he can't quite channel that same energy towards the malicious specters in Casper indeed he bolts out of the haunted house, leaving carrigan and paul to their own devices.

  • Who you gonna call someone else.

  • In addition to this direct reference, Casper also features a short and unnerving appearance from actor Clint Eastwood, I'm gonna kill you, your mama Bridge playing friends.

  • This tradition of oddball cameos continues in Casper meets Wendy as actor, Casper Van Dien fittingly references his role in the satirical starship Troopers.
