I remember Milton Berle being in the video for Ratts's Round and Round back in the day. Just wondering about others, Chevy Chase in you can Call Me Al also rings a bell. I know there were tons of others I just can't recall right now.

Never realised that Rodney Dangerfield was in a bit of Lionel Richie's Dancing On The Ceiling music video.

Here's another featuring a well known celebrity -

And Randy Quaid makes a quick appearance in The Bangles Walking Down Your Street music video https://youtu.be/HvnV2jFeWNQ as well.
