Bossk is a documentary appearence OK? I mean, he was not "acting" as he was in, let's say, "Ed TV".

Appearing as yourself in a documentary or any film, for that matter, is fine. Archived/Stock footage is not. This means that if the footage of a person was not originally shot for the film in question, then it does not count as an acting appearance. IMDb makes the distinction by listing archived footage appearances as just that "Archived Footage."

Since Bush did not appear as himself in original footage shot for Fahrenheit 9/11, he doesn't count as an actor in the film. But say that we actually had original footage of him captured by Moore and crew, then it would count.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't recall him actually appearing in original footage. All I can remember is archived footage of him. Correct me if I'm wrong.

He barely appeared for 2 seconds in an original footage, telling Michael Moore to "get a real job". So that means he could de credited as an "actor" in that movie?

Yep, it's a cameo of him playing himself and it's not archived footage. He counts.

But since you mention Pinky and the Brain, how about Maurice LaMarche, the voice of Brain?

Maurice La Marche (Hey Arnold! The Movie) Vincent Schiavelli (Tomorrow Never Dies) Desmond Llewellyn (Thunderball) Sean Connery (IJATLC) Harrison Ford... proving, once again that all roads lead to Bond.


Here's the Pinky and the Brain quote:

Brain: You may call yourself Mary Pickford for all I care; I shall be know as The Iconoclast...


Next challenge: June Foray (the voice of Rocky to LaMarche's Bullwinkle)

June Foray (Looney Tunes: Back in Action) Timothy Dalton (License to Kill) Desmond Llewellyn (The Man With the Golden Gun) Christopher Lee -- Dooku

True, all roads lead to Bond. But you can cut out a step in most cases by using Golden Gun and going to Lee.

Another voice actor... John Byner who played the voice of one of my fave Disney characters, Gurgi.
