Sometimes our furry friends need a little help getting out of tight spots. Here are 10 ways humans stepped up to save animals in 2017: #10 A dog got loose from a car after a bad crash on Chicago's Lake Shore Drive in June. It started running back and forth along the shore of Lake Michigan and eventually fell in when trying to get a drink. Wasted no time plucking the stranded pup from the water.
#9 A distressed sea turtle became off the coast of Venice, Fla. Footage was shared showing a man swimming alongside the sea turtle while trying to cut the fishing line with wire cutters. #8 Alberta man Duncan MacIver didn’t hesitate to in April to save his dog. Cosmo plunged through the thin ice at a park. The two emerged drenched and cold, but okay. #7 Oregon firefighters were called out to a golf course in Sunriver in December to save a deer stuck on a frozen water hazard.

Footage showed the frightened animal struggling for footing as one of the firefighters approached with a. #6 Tens of thousands of dogs and cats were left stranded in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Irma in September and Hurricane Maria in October. Family pets became victims of the ensuing humanitarian crisis on the devastated island. Many have and taken to other U.S. Cities and Canada to be put up for adoption. #5 Hurricane Harvey left in parts of Texas in August. In Cleveland, Tx., rescuers helped free horses trapped in paddocks.
While in Hankamer, Tx., sheriff's deputies rescued dozens of dogs from a flooded shelter. Some of those dogs even ended up in Ontario to be adopted. #4 A group of Asian elephants were saved from a flooded Vietnam War-era bomb crater by Cambodian farmers, conservationists and government officials in March. The elephants reportedly became trapped after trying to drink water from the hole.
A ramp was built to help the animals climb out, while farmers assisted using ropes and vegetation. #3 Rescuers used zip lines to save people and animals stranded by deadly flood water in Lima in March. It was the in decades, with torrential rains sweeping away homes, bridges and crops. #2 A driver fleeing wildfires in California in December turned around and ran back toward the flames. He stopped to, which was then taken to the California Wildlife Center. It was treated for burns to its paws, ears and chin.
The fire became the fifth largest in California's history. #1 In a desperate in January, Alberta residents rallied to rescue a horse that had fallen through the ice. Rescuers spent more than three hours pulling the nearly 700-kilogram Clydesdale from the frigid waters of Lloyd Creek in Rimbey, Alta., about 62 kilometres northwest of Red Deer. The animal was reunited with its owners, checked out by a veterinarian, and was expected to make a full recovery.
When I went to see, one of the previews I saw was for a strange movie called Cold Souls. It starred Paul Giamatti asPaul Giamatti, and I wondered how much of his actual “self” was contained in that role. Was the movie written with Giamatti in mind? If so, how much of his performance is actually “acting?” In any event, I started to think about movies in which actors appear as themselves.
Sometimes it’s as a cameo, but other times, it’s as prominent as the lead character, like in Giamatti’s case. There’s definitely been some notable appearances over the years, so after the jump, take a look at 17 actors who played themselves in movies.For the purposes of this list, I’m naming only actors, so celebrities like Bob Barker (in Happy Gilmore) don’t count.
Paul Giamatti in Cold Souls Cold Souls is scheduled for limited release this Friday, and it’s written and directed by Sophie Barthes. If you’ve seen the very disturbing Happiness, that name should ring a bell. Anyhow, Cold Souls is the story of Paul Giamatti’s decision to deep freeze his soul.
After a mixup of sorts, Giamatti sets out on a search to quite literally find his soul. Pretty clever, I’d say. John Malkovich in Being John Malkovich In Spike Jonze’s Being John Malkovich, a puppeteer stumbles upon a portal in an office building in New York City. The portal leads to the mind of John Malkovich, and whoever enters the portal can experience all the things that Malkovich is feeling. Malkovich is played by, of course, Malkovich, and one of the more memorable scenes is when Malkovich himself enters the portal. Jean-Claude Van Damme in JCVD It’s interesting that it took Jean-Claude Van Damme playing himself to finally help one of his films receive critical praise.
In JCVD, Van Damme is a struggling actor (which is putting it lightly), and he’s got major problems in his personal life, too. Instead of using karate, he only fantasizes about it, and Van Damme’s portrayal of himself seems to be what we’d expect.
What a scumbag he was, though. Seriously – hooking up with teenagers while his wife was pregnant? Bruce Willis in Ocean’s 12 and What Just Happened. In the preposterous and forgettable Ocean’s 12, Willis foils Danny Ocean’s attempt to steal the Coronation Egg when he realizes that Tess (Julia Roberts) is not really Julia Roberts. It’s a brief cameo that I’m sure Soderbergh thought was quite clever.
In What Just Happened, Willis poses as an obstacle to a producer trying to fix up a film called Fiercely, refusing to shave his thick beard and cursing out anyone who suggests he do so. Sean Penn in What Just Happened Penn is the star of the fictional movie Fiercely, and his character (and his character’s dog) are shot dead at the end of the meta-movie. It’s this graphic violence that throws a big wrench into the planned release and final version of the movie. Penn’s ex-wife Robin Wright Penn is also in What Just Happened, but unlike her ex-husband, does not play herself. Neil Patrick Harris in the Harold & Kumar Movies Sure, NPH is pretty good on “How I Met Your Mother,” but there’s no way he shed the “Doogie Howser” label and rejuvenated his career without playing a hard-partying, cocaine-snorting version of himself in the Harold & Kumar movies. Now, everyone knows exactly who “NPH” is. Bruce Campbell in My Name is Bruce In My Name is Bruce, Bruce Campbell mistakenly believes that a demon called Guan-di is merely a guy in a rubber suit and part of an elaborate hoax concocted to make Bruce live up to his B-movie hero status.
When it turns out that Guan-di is real, Bruce has to decide whether to take the easy way out and run, or to stand up and fight and become a hero in real life. Ben Affleck & Matt Damon/Jason Biggs & James Van Der Beek in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back Affleck and Damon aren’t in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back for more than a scene, but it’s a pretty funny one. They’re filming a sequel to Good Will Hunting, and Affleck is partiularly funny, partaking in a bit of self-deprecating humor. Every time I think that Affleck is a giant douche, he makes me laugh, and things like Daredevil and Armageddon are forgiven. Biggs and Van Der Beek are also in a very small scene, but it’s also pretty funny.
They’re set to play the characters Bluntman and Chronic, the movie Jay and Silent Bob are trying to stop. “You wouldn’t last a day on the creek.” Billy Zane and David Bowie in Zoolander Zane and Bowie appear in back-to-back scenes in Zoolander: Zane, after being told to “put a cork in it” by Derek, announces that it is, indeed, a walk-off. The always awesome David Bowie volunteers to judge the walk-off. And don’t tell me Bowie isn’t an actor – the dude was great in Labyrinth and tore sh.t up as Tesla in The Prestige. Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Last Action Hero.
It’s definitely not McTiernan’s best, and it’s far from Arnie’s best, but The Last Action Hero was doing this meta-crap way before almost everyone else. Jack Slater (played by Schwarzenegger) is a fictional movie character, similar to many of the characters Schwarzenegger has played. Through the use of a magic ticket, Slater comes into the real world and quickly learns that all the things he could do in his world don’t really work. At one point, Slater must attend the movie premiere of Jack Slater IV to prevent Arnold Schwarzenegger from being killed and thus preserving his own existence. Steve Carrell in Knocked Up It’s a brief cameo, but Carrell appears as himself on the red carpet and gives a brief interview to Alison Scott.
He refuses to say some stupid “E!” slogan, though, to which I say good for him. Robert Englund in Wes Craven’s New Nightmare In New Nightmare, Freddy Krueger invades our world and terrorizes the actors and crew who helped make the Nightmare on Elm Street films. Englund reprises his role as the iconic killer, but as this movie is set in the “real” world, he also playes himself, the actor who played Freddy Krueger. Chuck Norris in Dodgeball F.cking Chuck Norris. Are there any instances of actors playing themselves in movies that I may have missed? There’s gotta be a couple; let me know in the comments section!
