When an actor play themselves in a movie, it is called Meta. Some actors made special appearances in movies and film to play themselves and die on screen.

Here is a compilation.

Anna Faris in Keanu, Anna Faris always plays the role of the awkward quirky bimbo in movies and tv. When she is asked to appear as herself in the film, Keanu, She is drug addicted and got killed.

She accepted to play this villainous version of herself to have a break from those cute quirky roles she always play.



In the 2012, Comedy film this is the end, Many actors play themselves. Its an apolcayptic movie where 2012 is the end of the world and Hollywood actors and singers tries to work together to survive.

Mike Fastbender,Rihanna, Channing Tatum, James Franco and many more died on this movie. A lot of celebrities agreed to die on this screen for fun.


In the movie Zoolander 2, Male supermodels and pop singers are getting killed. This is Justin Bieber getting killed. Yes he played himself.


WWE women's champion Liv Morgan is a huge fan of Chucky and she said one of her dreams is to be killed by Chucky on screen. Chucky decided to invite her on the show and make her dreams come true. I wish this leads to Liv Morgan getting more Hollywood roles. I want her to be a Bond girl. I think Chucky killed her because her blond hair, reminds him of M3GAN.

Ariana Grande, This is the funniest scene, The killer is right there in her front and she is talking to him via whats app. She died tweeting that she is being murdered.

It is also like a 'cameo role.' They will perform for a short-time and die so soon in films. I do like how directors do this.

I generally love watching any movie with a random cameo from someone famous, or someone that played a role that is specifically related to the movie at hand. Seen a few films with previous Superman Actors from TV and Movies that had decided that they wanted to participate in a new Superman Movie, just for the role of showing that they approve of the new movie.

Sometimes you have a short role but you have big influence of the direction of events on the film and you have long role but with no big influence to the film.

Ariana Grande doesn't play herself in Scream Queens. The character is named Sonya, or Chanel #2. It is a very funny scene.

Rarely the meta activities for the actors especially when they die on the screens can be very symbolic.

As best actor of him self was Michael Jackon in Space Jam. Few NBA stars were there as side role. It is kid movie but nobody didn't die.

This practice of actors playing themselves in movies before dying on stage arguably benefits from the fact that most Western cultures do not have antagonistic superstitions about death.

Actors coming from majority of non-Western cultures would not want to die on stage. The prevailing superstition about death would dissuade actors from playing such roles, lest they actually die.
