Here's every major actor cameo appearance in Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back. Originally, Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back was set to be the end for Kevin Smith's shared View Askewniverse movie series. This began with Smith's indie smash Clerks in 1994, and followed on through Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma. While each film focused on a new setting or group of characters, they were all set in the same universe and shared certain figures like Jay and Silent Bob.
Played by Jason Mewes and Smith himself respectively, Jay and Silent Bob became cult heroes throughout the series. Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back was intended to be the epic finale, bringing back many key characters and actors as the stoner duo traveled to Hollywood. They intended to spot the production of a Bluntman And Chronic movie, which was based on a comic where they were the inspiration for the titular superheroes.
Of course, this gave the very quotable Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back the chance to sneak in a parade of cameos by actors, directors and TV personalities throughout. Here's a guide to Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back's cameos.

Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back is almost loaded down with cameos, with two of the biggest being Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Affleck pulls double duty, playing both Holden McNeil from Chasing Amy and himself. In the latter scene, he and Damon are seen filming a scene for the fictional Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season, while director Gus Van Sant is busy counting the money he's making from the sequel. Other Smith returnees include Dogma's Chris Rock as the director of the Bluntman And Chronic movie, Alanis Morissette, George Carlin, Joey Lauren Adams, and Clerks stars Jeff Anderson and Brian O'Halloran as Randal and Dante respectively.
Star Wars icon Carrie Fisher's Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back cameo cast her as a nun, while Mark Hamill plays Bluntman And Chronic's nemesis. The late, great Wes Craven is seen directing a very different iteration of Scream 4 with Shannen Doherty and a monkey, while there are assorted appearances from the likes of Tracy Morgan, Jon Stewart, Batman: The Animated Series writer Paul Dini, Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club), Morris Day, Seann William Scott and many more. Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back was essentially a live-action cartoon, so it didn't stretch the logic of the story to have so many surprise cameos. Smith would also repeat this tactic with 2019's Jay And Silent Bob Reboot, which nabbed appearances from Chris Hemsworth, Val Kilmer, Rosario Dawson (Sin City) and almost countless others.
