(1930) (Man on Street), Blackmail (1929) (Man on subway), Easy Virtue (1928) (Man with stick near tennis court), The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog (1927) (Extra in newspaper office) ... aka The Case of Jonathan Drew., excluding Lifeboat, in which he appeared in a newspaper advertisement; Dial M for Murder, in which he appeared in a class reunion photo; Rope in which his "appearance" is as a neon version of his famous caricature on a billboard outside the window in a night scene and Family Plot in which his "appearance" is as a silhouette of someone standing on the other side of a frosted glass door.
