Small role in a film (5)

I believe the answer is:

cameo

(Other definitions for cameo that I've seen before include "Small part for star actor" , "Brief role" , "Miniature picture" , "Carving in low relief" , "Something small but well done - say role in play" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
