Stan Lee Cameo

How could I have missed it???? The Generalissimo on Nikita! Shame on me a Brigadier! He appeared as Hank Excelsior, a bystander at the bank robbery on Season 1 Episode 5.


I'm laughing at the name because Mr. Stan Lee almost ends his daily tweets with "Excelsior."

I checked out previous tweets of the Generalissimo and saw this tweet.

Your Generalissimo gets ready for another show stopping cameo.

Got yah, Generalissimo. Same clothes in the tweet and your cameo. The following day he tweeted this:

Not only did I spend quality time with the fabulous Felicia Day, but I did a cool cameo for the lovely Maggie Q’s new TV series “Nikita”

How did the Generalissimo got a cameo? According to IGN:

Lee's Nikita cameo came about when the show's star, Maggie Q, met Lee at San Diego Comic-Con in July and the two discussed the possibility of Lee appearing on the show. With Lee in Toronto (where Nikita films) for Fan Expo this past weekend, the timing worked out for him to also film a scene for the TV series.

I wonder who else will be doing a cameo on Nikita. Who would you want to do a cameo?
