Answer: Fr. Schwartz

Damon plays a German priest in the second half of the movie about Che Guevara's life. It was a truly blink and you'll miss it appearance as he was on screen for less than a minute.

Steven Soderbergh directed this 2008 film which was the follow up to "Che: Part One".

Benicio Del Toro played Guevara in both films. Damon's scene was small but impactful as Guevara was shown to be a deeply religious man. The first movie showed Guevara's rise to power, the second showed his life after gaining it.

Answer: PR Exec #1

The movie starred Damon's real life friend Ben Affleck and was written and directed by another friend Kevin Smith. The movie was released in 2004.

In his role in this movie he didn't even get a name. He did get to make fun of Affleck as he tried to return to prominence in the world of public relations.

Damon appeared in a single scene, just long-enough to make the few wisecracks about Affleck's Ollie Trinke. Another famous cameo in the film was Will Smith, who was in a scene to give Ollie advice about being a father first and having a career second.

Answer: Shawn Oran

This was another Kevin Smith film starring Ben Affleck, and another film with Damon playing an executive. The movie was released in 1997.

He played a TV executive who passed on making a show out of one of Affleck's character's comic books. His character was referred to only by his first name in the film, the last name was revealed in the credits.

The irony here is that by not making a TV show, the property was able to be optioned as a movie years later, spawning the plot of "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" and another Damon cameo.
