Audi Debuts “Stan Lee Cameo School”

Kevin Winter/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Just in time for audiences to see his latest cameo in Avengers: Age of Ultron, Stan Lee, the co-creator of such characters as Iron Man, Spider-Man, and The Incredible Hulk — and the man who has appeared in just about every big screen Marvel movie in a tiny part — is imparting his knowledge of cameo acting to a new generation of performers.

Really just a clever ad from Avengers’ automobile sponsor Audi, Stan Lee Cameo School shows the living legend and the “master of cameo acting” teaching the likes of Kevin Smith, Tara Reid, and Guardians of the Galaxy star Michael Rooker the finer points of nailing Marvel movie bit parts like Lee’s “Museum Guard,” “Man Drinking out of Bottle,” and “Man On Bench.”

It’s not as easy as it looks. As Rooker watches Lee grab a drink, his student ponders, “Is he drinking coffee or is he ‘cameo drinking coffee?’ I can’t tell.”

The new spot, which also features Lou “The Incredible Hulk” Ferrigno, has gone viral on YouTube, and ends with Lee making a cameo in his own short.

Marvel is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News.
