After rewatching The Cable Guy, I realize that Bob Odenkirk, Kyle Gass, George Segal and David Cross all made appearances. Odenkirk and Segal actually had lines, even if they were few in number, and Gass and Cross simply had a second or two of screen time, but they were still there. Then obviously Jack Black, Owen Wilson, Leslie Mann, Jim Carey and Matthew Broderick were in it, with Ben Still writing/directing with a few cameos. There were also cameos but Ben Stiller’s sister, Amy Stiller, Andy Dick, Eric Roberts and finally, Charles Napier. Looking at this lineup makes it seem like this was a huge movie. However, Broderick and Carey were the only ones well known at this time. Black and Wilson had barely started their careers, with Wilson having only completed Bottle Rocket at this point. It’s funny how 25 years can change a perspective on a movie.
