As a dedicated horror enthusiast with a penchant for uncovering hidden gems in the genre, I must admit that Jordan Peele has captured my undivided attention since his directorial debut with “Get Out.” His unique storytelling abilities and knack for creating suspenseful, thought-provoking films have placed him squarely among the greats.
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for Easter eggs and hidden appearances in movies, just like how game developers often sneak themselves into their creations. However, when it comes to Jordan Peele, the mastermind behind some of my favorite horror films, he opts for a unique approach – instead of appearing on screen, he prefers to remain offscreen, adding an extra layer of mystery and intrigue to his already captivating works.
**Spoiler Warning: There are spoilers for Us below.**
The movie currently streaming on Peacock, titled “Us“, marks Jordan Peele’s second directorial venture, further solidifying his position as a prominent figure in the horror genre. It boasts striking visuals that leave an impression, from the initial flashback scene to the chilling climax. Notably, it features well-known actors such as Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Interestingly, Jordan Peele does not appear among these stars in front of the camera.
Known for inserting himself into his own movies in creative ways, Alfred Hitchcock has been spotted as diverse characters such as a man seated beside Cary Grant on a bus and an illuminated silhouette of his iconic figure. Dario Argento often takes on the role of the killer in his films by filming close-ups during murder scenes using his own hands. Peter Jackson found a place within Middle-earth by featuring himself as a random extra, even appearing as a carrot-munching man in Bree, in the epic The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Jordan Peele’s Us Cameo Explained
Instead of making on-screen appearances like many other famous actors, Jordan Peele has opted for voice roles in his cameos. Although he’s well-known due to his work on “Key & Peele” and various other projects, he prefers to use his voice talent in these guest spots, as opposed to appearing visually. In a recent conversation with Fandango, Peele shared that he has provided the voices for two non-human characters in his directorial projects thus far. In the movie “Get Out,” he voiced the deer that leaps in front of Chris and Rose’s car before dying in the woods. In the film “Us,” he gave voice to a rabbit that Adelaide comes across during her exploration into the tunnels where the Tethered reside.
For added insight, Peele himself plays dual roles from approximately 3:18 in the video provided. This way, you’ll recognize his distinctive animal sounds in future viewings of his films, creating an entertaining game for viewers. In essence, try to spot Jordan Peele’s peculiar animal noises in his productions!
