Top 10 Weirdest Fan Requests on Cameo
#10: Business Motivation
Why Media Companies Are Struggling To Find their Next Business Models
Wesley Snipes Wesley Snipes is known for roles where he plays a badass, having acted in “Blade” and “New Jack City”. So maybe it should come as no surprise that fans go to him when they need some inspiration - be it for themselves or for their teams at work. In this case, the Assent sales team wanted a motivational message from Snipes to push them through their work in Q1 and encourage them to work their hardest. After seeing this, we wouldn’t mind having a pump up message from him before we started work every day.
#9: Insulting Someone
Gilbert Gottfried Comedian Gilbert Gottfried is known for his brash standup comedy and his distinctive voice, which has landed him roles playing characters like the parrot Iago in Disney’s “Aladdin”. Fans of his know that he can give a good roast. So, someone named Michael got in touch and asked him to mock their friend Marty, calling him a “giant a**hole” and telling him he has no edge. Of course. there was actually some affection behind the message, with Gottfried also relaying that Marty is loved and missed and sending him a holiday greeting.
#8: Shireen’s Happy Ending
Kerry Ingram You may not immediately recognize Kerry Ingram when you see her in this Cameo, because her made-up appearance isn’t exactly congruous with the character she’s known for playing. Yup, that’s Shireen Baratheon from “Game of Thrones”. The one who acted as an unfortunate sacrifice for her father’s folly. One fan got in touch and asked that Ingram get into character as Shireen and say that she got the last laugh because she actually survived being burned at the stake. Not only that, but she also managed to cure her Greyscale! If only this could have been her real happily ever after...
#7: Crypt Keeper Birthday Message
John Kassir Here’s another performer whose face may not exactly be familiar to you. But his voice sure will be! John Kassir voices the Crypt Keeper in HBO’s “Tales from the Crypt” franchise. Lots of fans reach out to stars on Cameo for birthday messages for their friends and family, but this request was quite particular. A husband contacted Kassir to wish his wife Lynn a happy birthday in his iconic Crypt Keeper voice, complete with the creepy laugh that goes along with it. This unique gift is surely unlike anything she has received before!
#6: Bar Mitzvah Advice
10 Last Requests From Notorious Criminals
Kevin O'Leary Businessman Kevin O'Leary has been successful in the world of finance for years, but he became a household name after appearing on reality shows “Shark Tank” and “Dragon’s Den”. He has made a name for himself offering up business advice to hopeful entrepreneurs. In this Cameo, he was asked to provide investment tips for a child’s Bar Mitzvah cash. Of course, he says not to invest it with fellow Shark Marc Cuban but rather to spend it starting his own business - with the hopes of eventually seeing him in the “tank”.
#5: Offering a Dunder Mifflin Internship
Melora Hardin Melora Hardin is probably best known for playing Dunder Mifflin’s Vice President of Sales, Jan Levinson on “The Office”. Some loving parents got in touch with Hardin to create a Cameo for their “Office” loving daughter Elena, who was about to start college. Not only did Hardin congratulate her on her hard work to get to where she is, but she also offered up an internship at Dunder Mifflin in case Elena decided that’s the direction in which she wanted to take her career. That’s not an opportunity we’d want to pass up!
#4: Gym Encouragement
Top 10 Weirdest Toys from Your Childhood
Michael Rapaport Michael Rapaport is making a name for himself on Cameo by giving harsh but motivational speeches to his fans. One woman reached out saying she and her boyfriend broke up on Valentine’s Day and needed Rapaport to encourage him to get his act together so they could reunite. But another fan reached out asking for his own scathing pump up speech. He wanted motivation to hit the gym and get in shape, and knew that Michael Rapaport would have the words he needed to get himself in gear and get out there.
#3: Breakup Sympathy
Andy Dick Comedian and actor Andy Dick isn’t exactly known for being nice. But in this video, where he was asked to give relationship advice to someone who had just broken up with his girlfriend, he’s actually pretty sweet. He gives an encouraging message about how there are lots of flowers out there for him to “pollinate” and even throws in a half-hearted Forrest Gump impression for good measure. While there are plenty of celebs out there who could probably offer sympathetic words during a difficult time, there’s something even more rewarding about them coming from someone like Andy Dick.
#2: Domestic Apology
Lance Bass Once you see this Cameo, you’ll realize the true potential of the platform. A man named Ryan clearly messed up on the home front and reached out to former NSYNC member Lance Bass to offer up an apology on his behalf. What makes this Cameo so hilarious though is that it’s not like Ryan committed a serious transgression- he just left food on the counter and left the garage door open. So the fact that he dropped a significant amount of cash to get Bass to apologize for him is pure Cameo gold.
#1: Tom Felton as Draco
Top 10 Weirdest Sports Team Rules
Tom Felton English actor Tom Felton is best known, of course, for playing Draco Malfoy in the “Harry Potter” films. Any fan of the series would be thrilled to have a message from their favorite Slytherin, and this one took the form of a wedding congratulations for an LGBTQ couple. Mindy got a shout out for her “muggle wedding” and (spoiler alert) got an RIP for Albus Dumbledore as well. This is a slightly touchy issue since Draco was sort of implicated in the Hogwarts headmaster’s death in “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”...oops.
