Did you notice Harrison Ford too?
I knew he was in it, because he looks and sounds like himself, though it's odd that he has such a minor role after doing Star Wars. I only cracked Laurence Fishburne because we noticed "Larry Fishburne" in the titles and went back to look at both the black characters (PC, I know...) and work out which one he is - his head's changed shape entirely!
I watched this for the first time about a month ago, fantastic film

That is true, but he was a chippy on the make. He'd been around film & TV as a bit part actor since the mid sixties, turning to carpentry when the roles weren't up to much.
I think Ford took the role in Apocalypse Now as a thank-you to Coppola and Lucas (his character is called Lucas) for their help in his career.

In an early Johnny Depp movie, Crybaby, one of the guards in the prison he's sent to is played by Willem Defoe.
In another John Waters movie, Hairspray, he cast Debbie Harry, Ric Osasek (lead singer of The Cars) and Sonny Bono in minor roles.
A favourite (B&W) film of mine is Wings of Desire starring Bruno Gantz. Peter Falk actually plays himself in it- but he's also an angel..
A great leap for a player is to go from this: http://pictomat.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/bride-...

The wonderful Elsa Lanchester- born in Lewisham!
