12 of the best DJ movie cameos

In the '99 James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, Goldie made an appearance as Mr. Bullion, the daunting looking main henchman to Valentin Zukovsky, the Russian mafia leader. Spoiler alert: while Goldie might seem like the right hand man to Zukovsky, he later crosses his supposed boss by working alongside Elektra King, the film's main antagonist, which later gets him shot down by his former leader.

Less of cameos and more full-on starring roles, Ansel Elgort has established his name as an actor on the same timeline as his DJ alias Ansolo, which both began to pick up steam in 2014.

After making a brief, but secondary actor debut in Carrie (2013), Elgort broke through when he played Caleb in the highly publicized book-gone-movie-series Divergent. Soon after, he was picked up to play the lead male role in The Fault In Our Stars, another film adaptation of an extremely popular young adult romance novel by the same name.

The Fault In Our Stars is - as most teen-oriented romance stories are - a sickly sweet tale as Elgort plays a love interest opposite a teenager cancer patient played by Shailene Woodley (who also starred in Divergent).

In 2016, it was announced that Elgort will star in a remake of the Billionaire Boys Club film alongside Kevin Spacey and Emma Roberts and has since signed to Island Records and played at Ultra Music Festival, ADE and more as Ansolo.

It's impossible to think of Disney's TRON: Legacy and not visualize the robots in a setting that seemed to be tailored just for them.

The 2010 release was aglow with futuristic, neon-lined outfits and backdrops. In the clip above, Castor exits the scene as an ominous soundtrack plays in the background. Before leaving, he calls to the instantly recognizable Daft Punk duo and demands them to "change the mood, electrify the boys and girls".

The robots' cameo is an obvious tip of the hat to their musical involvement in the Disney film, which marked the first film score made entirely by the legendary French duo.
