Here's where to find comedian Bill Burr's brief cameo in Netflix thriller Denzel Washington giving one of his best performances, for which he received an Oscar.
Fuqua's next two outings both proved to be tough productions, with neither war drama Tears Of The Sun - starring Bruce Willis - nor historical epic King Arthur with Clive Owen being critical or commercial successes. He later returned to more traditional action thrillers with hits like Shooter and Olympus Has Fallen. The helmer later reignited his creative relationship with Washington, reteaming with the star for two Equalizer movies - with a third on the way - and 2016's remake of The Magnificent Seven.
In 2015, Fuqua worked with Jake Gyllenhaal for the boxing drama South Paw, which was well-received. The pair reteamed again in 2021 for unique Netflix thriller The Guilty - a movie partly based on reality - which remade a Danish film of the same name. The movie is set in a 911 call dispatch center, where Gyllenhaal plays a troubled officer named Joe who gets sucked into a potential kidnapping mystery. Most of Gyllenhaal's interactions during the story take place over phone calls with unseen characters played by the likes of Riley Keough, Ethan Hawke and Paul Dano. Bill Burr also makes a small but memorable vocal cameo around the 40-minute mark.
Bill Burr's The Guilty Cameo Explained
Bill Burr's The Guilty role is "Nightclub Caller" who frantically calls Joe to deal with some unexplained drama. A frustrated Joe tries to get more information from his unhelpful caller, who eventually changes his mind and decides he doesn't need help; the two men later curse each other before a furious Joe hangs up. While fans of the comedian could like pick up on Bill Burr's famous Boston accent during the call, all the background noise and the briefness of the role can make his vocal cameo easy to miss.
While his The Guilty part lasts all of 30 seconds, Bill Burr has been very busy since his acting breaking on Breaking Bad. He's appeared as mercenary Mayfeld on Star Wars spin-off The Mandalorian, played a lead role in Judd Apatow's The King Of Staten Island and voiced Frank on F For Family, an animated sitcom he co-created with Michael Price.
