An actor failing to show up on set altered the history of film forever.
The Big Picture One of the most iconic directors in the history of cinema, Alfred Hitchcock is just as recognizable by his appearance as he is through his thematic style. For a film director, achieving household status is anything but a guarantee, even for the most accomplished and revered ones. When it comes down to film's relationship with mainstream audiences, the actors in front of the screen will always be the stars.
While his cameos are void of any underlying thematic or narrative purposes, Hitchcock's on-screen credits share recurring themes. The director is commonly seen as a pedestrian, strolling along in Rope, The Trouble with Harry, Vertigo, and The Birds.
Hitchcock's Cameos Add to the Director's Iconography Up until the late '50s-early '60s, when the director was amid a golden run of North by Northwest, Psycho, and The Birds, Hitchcock's cameos, while a staple of his filmography, were unobtrusive. In The 39 Steps, he is standing at a bus stop with a crowd of people, and in The Lady Vanishes, he is departing from a train.
