On Cameos vs. Bit-parts

Is there a difference between a cameo and a bit-part. I feel a cameo suggests that a relatively well-known actor is showing up in a movie in a role that is of less significance than his contemporary star-power might garner. Whereas bit-part is a early role for an actor who later played parts in entertainments which were seen on a larger scale, or which featured that actor much more prominently. Any thoughts? So here, I would say David Hyde Pierce has a bit-part, not necessarily a cameo.

Sequel to Secret of My Success?
Some lay commentators (citation needed) claim that BLBC is a sequel to SOMS. BLBC is merely the protagonist's downward slide from SOMS. Is this true? 80.41.161.171 (talk) 23:22, 2 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Massively late reply, it obviously it isn’t. Morons sometimes get confused when an actor is in two different movies. 222.153.35.136 (talk) 22:30, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
 * People are used to seeing MJF in movies with happy endings. People watched BLBC hoping that he'd turn his life around and make money or something.  Admittedly he appeared to be turning his life around when he traded his Raybans for a roll of bread. 62.232.176.62 (talk) 11:54, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
