A number of both random and respectable actors have popped up in various Roc-A-Fella movies. The pinnacle was arguably 2002’s Paid In Full, which temporarily helped The Roc rebuild its reputation in the acting world.

But if you suffer through a few of the post-2002 offerings from Roc-A-Fella Films, you’ll see a few surprise cameos. We did, so you don’t have to.

Check out these 14 actors you forgot played in Roc-A-Fella movies.

Rashida Jones

Before she had to remind red carpet reporters she was “ethnic,” Rashida Jones was editor Layna Hudson in 2003’s Paper Soldiers. Only her cameos on Chappelle’s Show could make us love her more.

Loon

Former Bad Boy Loon turned up Death Of A Dynasty as the character Turk, and again as El Pollo Loco’s pops in State Property 2.

Do the knowledge on Charlie Murphy, and you can find him in Mo Betta Blues back in the day as well as Death Of A Dynasty and Paper Soldiers. A few years later he appeared on Chappelle’s Show, and you know how that worked out.

Picture Tony Soprano’s therapist in an R&B group named Enchante. Bracco was trying to take “Bootylicious” to a whole ‘nother level in Death Of A Dynasty. Your Netflix queue awaits.

Somehow, Dame talked Mariah into a cameo as herself in Death Of A Dynasty and to play the role of his wife in State Property 2.

MIchael Rapaport

Michael Rapaport

Three words: straight to video. Rapaport played the role of Mike E. in Paper Soldiers, which also featured Stacey Dash and gave Kevin Hart an early, pre-Soul Plane look.

The OG was one of the many people to make cameos in Backstage.

Hart played a hilarious parody of Puffy in Death Of A Dynasty, but he also held down the lead role as Shawn in Paper Soldiers.

Ol Dirty Bastard

Ol’ Dirty Bastard

Somebody was watching too much In Living Color. How else can you explain ODB as a disoriented short order cook with terrible hygiene in State Property?

Roselyn Sanchez

She seemed kind of above what was admittedly a kind of trash film, but Roselyn Sanchez played the role of a district attorney in State Property 2.

Your eyes were not deceiving you. That really was B-Hop moving weight in a dope warehouse full of kids in State Property 2.
