It’s not much, but Adam Sandler’s character in Judd Apatow’s “Funny People” is a successful comedian and actor. In this MTV interview, Owen Wilson reveals that he apparently appears as himself in a fake poster for a movie they’ve starred in together. That’s his “cameo.” Sandler’s character has all kinds of famous celebrity and comedy friends in the script so we bet there will be a ton of other cameos in the film as well. IMDB lists Andy Dick and Norm Macdonald apparently already shot his cameo already. Bruce Springsteen is also written into the script, in a weird day-dream sequence ala “High Fidelity,” but it’s unknown if he’s agreed to it or not so far.
