HE DID CAMEBONE ON SMALL ENOTCH
Bruce Willis has made several cameos in cult series. In particular one, astonishing, in Misfire, the 182nd episode of That ’70s Show. The American actor embodies the sordid character of Vic, responsible for security in a naughty club in Chicago. Wearing a ridiculous wig, he asks Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) to join his company. The on-screen relationship between Willis and Kutcher inevitably resonates in a funny way when we know that the second, a few months before the broadcast of the episode, married Demi Moore, Willis’ ex-wife. .
Besides this funny cameo in That ’70s Show, Bruce Willis appeared at the very beginning of his career in Two cops in Miami, then in Ally McBeal.

In the comedies Hello mom, here baby and Hello mom, it’s me again, led by Kirstie Alley and John Travolta, Bruce Willis indeed doubles a little boy, Mickey, from his birth to the age of 3 years. The genius idea of these films, big public successes released in theaters in 1990 and 1991: put the viewer in the place of the baby and hear the latter comment (with Bruce’s voice, therefore) on everything around him. Cute and devilishly effective entertainment.
