Q: Bruce Willis makes a cameo appearance in the new teen drama "Nancy Drew." What are your favorite cameos?
A: There have been so many great ones that it's hard to narrow them down. But my favorites are:
Alfred Hitchcock in all of his movies. It was his trademark to make a passing appearance in each film, and it's fun to try and spot him.
I decided to Google my name a while ago and the search resulted in 32.2 million links. It's not that I'm so popular. I just have a common name.
Probably the most unusual thing in all this is that I have never done it before. Google has become such a fixture in society today that almost everyone, even people who don't explore the World Wide Web, know about it. Google is a public corporation with a mission statement to "organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." The company is so successful that I felt comfortable using the word as a verb to start this column, figuring most people would know what I am talking about.
The power of Google raises fear in some people. Some people don't want the world to know all about them, especially those people who may have posted some embarrassing photos or writings during lapses in youthful judgment. Others just like their privacy.
BEST BET The Bourne Ultimatum, because Greengrass knows how to class up action fare.

Jon Fisch gets paid for talking about getting his back waxed, his ex-girlfriends, and the hazards of meeting someone online.
As a stand-up comedian in New York, no subject is taboo. And the more personal he gets, the more audiences seem to empathize with the 34-year-old single guy.
In Manhattan, Fisch is a regular at venues such as The Comedy Cellar, the Gotham Comedy Club, and Comic Strip Live, where Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler, and Chris Rock got their start. Fisch also appeared on Season 4 of NBC's "Last Comic Standing." He'll return to Massachusetts tonight to perform in a benefit show for the Pan-Mass. Challenge at the Dedham Community Theatre .
