Movie Directors Who Made a Cameo Appearance in Their Own Films

David Zucker, Jerry Zucker, & Jim Abrahams

The movie Airplane is often remembered as one of the best comedies of all time, and for good reason. With three fantastic directors, this movie was a guaranteed hit. The Zucker brothers were in one scene as a couple of airheaded air traffic controllers. They fail to guide a plane from the runway. Abrahams didn't make an appearance until a little later as a religious zealot inside the airport.
