Awesome Cameo: Hook

There’s a really interesting cameo in Steven Spielberg’s Hook, which I learned about recently. Watch the following clip and see if you can guess who it is before scrolling down for the answer:

Finished watching the video? Glenn Close plays the pirate who Hook interrogates and puts in the box with the scorpion. I caught the end of Skylark on TV last night and was reminded of her cameo. Pretty freaky, eh?

    That is incredible!

    This wasn’t the cameo I thought you were talking about.
    When I was a pro-wrestling obsessed teenager, there were rumors that Mick Foley played a pirate that bumps shoulders with Peter as he’s walking.
    Never did find out if that was true.

    That was the worst part of Hot Fuzz for me. I recognized her right way and was mad that she wasn’t in the rest of the film. :)
