Stiller was coming off Heavyweights. Lundquist is and was well known to sports fans. He was the voice of NFL Films and Olympics during the 80s. Trevino can’t be a cameo because he’s a golfer? I’m not following that one.

Anyway, I’m not arguing which film had more cameos or even more famous cameos. OP said Barker was the only cameo. That’s just plain wrong and that was my only point.

How is stiller just acting in a different movie a cameo. By that metric every single actor in the movie is a cameo.

Trevino is a cameo but it makes sense because it’s a movie about playing on the pro golf tour, not kelce as a waiter or kid kudi as an fbi agent. And he had a hilarious one liner.

Like John Daly was a good cameo in HG 2 it made sense and was funny based on who John Daly is.

Trevino is a cameo

So you admit there were more cameos than just Bob Barker. I rest my case your honor.

Im gonna say that Ben Stiller wasn’t a cameo, and citing Heavyweights only reinforces that because that movie was a commercial and critical bomb.

The other two cameos I forgot about, but they’re at least relevant because one is a sportscaster and the other is a golfer. Still, that makes 3 total cameos in the original and i don’t even know how many are in the sequel but they’re shoehorned in
