The figures represent the total amount of international revenue generated by all the movies a person has had a cameo role in over their lifetime.
A cameo is a small role performed by a well-known actor or director, often limited to a single scene, with the casting done specifically because of who they are, not because of their acting talents. Examples of cameos are Alfred Hitchcock's appearances in his films and Stan Lee's brief appearances in Marvel films. Note that small parts played by actors before they became famous are not cameos. Rather, they are either supporting roles or roles as an "extra".
Roles in animated movies and other voice-only roles are included in the calculations in this chart.
