The King Of Queens
We admit this might be cheating a bit, but it’s one of our favorites and it’s our article so we’re including it! Sure, Patton Oswalt had a featured role on The King of Queens as Doug’s friend Spence, but aren’t extras just background characters with no lines?
Well, in one episode where Doug celebrates his 40th birthday, that’s exactly what Spence was. Oswalt spends the entire one-minute scene standing motionless, saying and doing nothing.
While he claims to have no recollection as to the reason, we like to think Oswalt wanted to see if anyone would notice. Clearly no one did.
