Movie Directors Who Made a Cameo Appearance in Their Own Films

Peter Jackson

Known for his gripping representation of Middle Earth, Peter Jackson directed all of the Lord of the Rings movies.  He's shown up in all of the magical universe films, like The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers. He also plays a sea captain in the movie Return of the King. However, his cameo in The Battle of the Five Armies might be the most fascinating, as he's only seen in a photo inside Bilbo Baggins's house.
