10 Best Snoop Dogg Movie Cameos, Ranked

There are several facts about Snoop Dogg that people are very well aware of, the strangest of which being his friendship with Martha Stewart. As much of a headscratcher as that one appears to be on the surface, they honestly seem to be really good friends. But another fun fact about the Doggfather is that he is a legit contender for the title of King of the Cameos.

The man has popped up in some surprising movies over the years. And he never ceases to be entertaining. There’s just something about Snoop Dogg that makes his presence work in almost any environment. Here are his best movie cameos so far.

10 Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

When the guys from The Lonely Island decided to make a mockumentary taking a shot at modern celebrity culture, they went all out. Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping was a parody of the music business in general, though it was also specifically targeting a Justin Bieber tour movie.

There was a laundry list of musician cameos throughout the movie, including Snoop Dogg who appeared as himself. Given The Lonely Island’s long-time association with Michael Bolton, it wasn’t a surprise to see him in the mix, as well.

9 Scary Movie 5

From 2000 to 2013, the Scary Movie franchise produced five films that mocked all the horror movies tropes fans had come to know and love. While the first one was funny, the franchise definitely started to come apart by the last installment.

Scary Movie 5 was the only entry in the franchise not to star Regina Hall and Anna Faris. But it did have Snoop Dogg, who played the role of Ja’Marcus. His main contribution to the plot was looking for cannabis plants in the woods with Mac Miller and finding three strange creatures.

8 Brüno

Sacha Baron Cohen is nothing if not memorable. His first notable creation was Da Ali G Show which spun off feature films based on three of his characters, Ali G, Borat, and Brüno. Brüno wasn’t the best received of his films, though.

In addition to actors playing characters, several celebrities made cameos in various parts of the movie. Snoop Dogg was one of a group of musicians who worked with Brüno on a wild music project.

7 Turbo

DreamWorks Animation has been releasing movies since 1998, and includes some of the biggest franchises in Hollywood. Shrek. Madagascar. Kung Fu Panda. How to Train your Dragon. Turbo, on the other hand, certainly wasn’t one of them.

While it wasn’t the critical or commercial success of other DreamWorks properties, Turbo still has its fans. Snoop voiced a snail called Smoove Move, a questionable name to say the least.

6 Pauly Shore Is Dead

While it seems like ancient history at this point, there was a time that Pauly Shore was one of the biggest stars on the planet. But by the late 1990s, his star had completely faded. He examined this himself with his 2003 mockumentary, Pauly Shore is Dead.

It starts off as an autobiography, then transitions into a comedy about him trying to fake his own death. Snoop Dogg was one of many celebrity cameos in the movie, though that didn’t prevent it from being an absolute box office bomb.

5 Pitch Perfect 2

Of all the improbable franchises in the world, the Pitch Perfect movie series caught people off guard. The hilarious, endearing adventures of a group of female acapella singers captured imaginations.

In the second film, Snoop Dogg made an appearance as himself. Anna Kendrick’s character is in the studio when he’s recording a Christmas album, and she helps remix one of the songs. It’s a fun scene.

4 Starsky & Hutch

From 1975 to 1979, Starsky & Hutch lit up TV screens and the ratings with 70’s cop action. Then in 2004, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson jumped on board the action-comedy reboot of the TV series.

Snoop Dogg co-starred as Huggy Bear Brown, an underworld boss who had taken a liking to the duo and helped them out in their investigations. Keeping in mind that Snoop has been in a lot of movies, he absolutely nailed this role.

3 Training Day

Without question, Training Day was one of the most respected and best-reviewed movies of 2001. Denzel Washington earned an Academy Award for his lead role in the film, a part that changed the way people viewed him as an actor.

Both Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg had supporting roles in the acclaimed film. Snoop played Blue, a dealer who was caught by the cops played by Washington and Ethan Hawke. In exchange for not going to jail, Blue ratted on a friend.

2 Old School

As Will Ferrell was moving away from SNL, one of his early film roles was in the movie Old School. When Mitch Martin, played by Luke Wilson, lost his girlfriend, he and his friends did the only logical thing and started a frat.

Snoop Dogg had a cameo at one of the parties at the frat house, performing on a stage in the backyard. He had the misfortune of being joined on stage by a naked Will Ferrell who declared it was time to go streaking through the Quad.

1 Half Baked

If there was ever a film that defined cult classic, it would be Half Baked. This 1998 stoner comedy written by Dave Chappelle and Neal Brennan had a number of celebrities playing interesting roles as examples of different kinds of smokers.

One of those actors was Snoop Dogg who played an example of the Scavenger Smoker. While it wasn’t a big role, it was also Snoop’s first credited acting gig in a movie. And he would probably be the first to admit that he fit the part perfectly.
