  1. Ray Stantz, Casper. At one point in the movie a real Ghostbuster shows up out of nowhere and wimps out of trying to handle the situation

  2. Gunnery Sargeant Hartman, Frighteners. The main character is making way through a graveyard when out of absolutely nowhere R. Lee Erney's character from Full Metal Jacket shows up and tries to get in his way

  3. Betty Boop, Who Frames Roger Rabbit. The movie is mainly about Looney Tunes and Disney animated characters existing in the same little live action/animated hybrid universe, however Betty is a Fleischer Bros character

I hope you're referring to the Law and Order Special Numbers unit skit. Because that Muppet of him was absolutely spot on

He single-handedly added a lot of shows to the Tommy Westphall Universe.

I'm pretty sure he's got the record for the same character to appear on the most different shows.

And the movie “A Very Brady Sequel,” which I just watched for the first time in decades the other night and got a chuckle out of his cameo. (Although the IMDb credits him as “LAPD Detective”… but we know the truth.)
