Brief appearance in a film (5)

I believe the answer is:

cameo

(Other definitions for cameo that I've seen before include "Part in movie" , "Short performance" , "Carving in relief, on a brooch say" , "Ornament or miniature performance" , "Carved brooch - small role" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Evening Standard.
