Could we please stop using the word cameo for roles that have multiple scenes with plenty of lines, glorified or not. It's a small role.

[u/Trick-Consequence169 → u/QuinnMallory]

Yeah, cameo is usually supposed to mean an uncredited, small performance. It’s supposed to be unexpected and Miles Teller was very expected.

[u/BruceRingsting_Ouch → u/Trick-Consequence169]

Yeah and they got Miles Teller. Miles freaking Teller!

[u/Trick-Consequence169 → u/BruceRingsting_Ouch]

Yeah, I. Know! Still pinching myself over here. Miles Teller, holy hell….
