6 Movies Where Celebrities Star As Themselves, In Honor of ‘This is the End’

Movie #6 – Airplane!

Year – 1980

Here he plays Roger Murdock…or does he?

When a young boy (who may or may not like gladiator films) mistakes the co-pilot for the basketball legend Murdock denies being him. But when the child goes on to complain about Jabbar’s dedication on the court things take an ugly turn.
