The
temptation for well-known authors to come out of the relative anonymity of
their life behind a typewriter or laptop and appear in the full glare of the
lights and camera has been too much to resist for quite a few famous authors
over the years. Other authors who have appeared in cameo appearances include:

Stephen King has made cameo appearances in his own movies
and TV shows and has also made appearances in other TV shows such as Frasier
and The Simpsons. It’s a well-known fact, that if Stephen King hadn’t made it
as an author, then he would have probably wanted to make it to the stage, not
as an actor, but as a rock star and King was a member of a rock and roll band, The Rock Bottom Remainders, all of whose
members were authors.
