But while McKenzie's elf cameo wasn't intended to create a cult movement among Tolkien fans, that's exactly what happened. Best known as one half of the Flight of the Conchords comedy duo, McKenzie has enjoyed a few small TV parts and provided music for the recent big screen Muppets releases. McKenzie also has three Lord of the Rings credits to his name in The Fellowship of the Ring, The Return of the King and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Perhaps the most famous cameo in all 6 of Jackson's Middle-earth movies comes from Bret McKenzie.
Jackson himself makes a series of short appearances, as do family members of the cast and crew, and late night TV show host Stephen Colbert even has a minor role. Almost 20 years after Peter Jackson's The Fellowship of the Ring first hit theaters, the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies remain two of the most ambitious movie undertakings of all time, and given their sheer scale, it's no surprise that a few celebrity cameos were able to slip by initially unnoticed.
Bret McKenzie's cameo in The Lord of the Rings has earned a place in Tolkien legend, but the Flight of the Conchords comedian has another role in The Hobbit.
