Hi.
Hope you’re doing well.
Doesn’t just have to be someone famous coming in for a guest appearance, but even a rookie actor (like Tom Welling on Smallville or David Boreanaz as Angel) who’s way less experienced than everyone else and learning as they go but still producing good performances that impress you.
I think then-Senator and former astronaut John Glenn appearing on Frasier (episode: S08E16 - “Docu.Drama”) was one of the more endearing, funny and well-acted appearances from someone who isn’t a professionally trained actor.
He seemed like a natural and really enjoying himself.
What are other such appearances where someone who isn’t professionally trained as an actor has produced a great performance?
