I know he didn't directed, but Peter Jackson was the Santa who stuck a knife through Nicholas Angel's hand in Hot Fuzz.

You'll have to look fast but Werner Herzog appears as one of the sea of faces in Vincent Ward's 1988 film What Dreams May Come...

He looks like him but is it confirmed ?

[Wes]

Yep, it sure is...

Vincent Ward's website describes the filming of the scene...

In order to continue Chris (Robin Williams) had to step on Werner Herzog, so he could keep crossing the sea of faces but Robin became increasingly worried about treading on Werner’s face and kept mentioning it to me and apologising to him.

Looking up at Robin from the ground where his face was embedded Werner said quietly (though emphatically):
“Go on Robin tread on my face, yes tread on my face.”
Robin echoed nervously, “But Werner I…?”
” Go on!”
“I can’t.”
“Yes you can, smash my glasses with your foot. Go on, tread on me, now. Break them.”

Good one!

Not a director, but I like the scene with Forrest J Ackerman in the book shop carrying a copy "Famous Monsters of Filmland."
