Michael Bay
You probably did a double-take when you spotted director Michael Bay Coyote Ugly. The famous action film director appeared in a cameo in the movie as a photographer. He wasn’t really a part of the film crew, so we don’t really know why he played such a minor role. We guess he probably owed someone a favor, but it is also possible that he was used to having more big names attached to the film.
