The "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery" film continues the franchise's tradition of subtle voice cameos from Rian Johnson collaborator Joseph Gordon-Levitt. In this latest installment, Gordon-Levitt's voice is heard as an announcer during a baseball game scene, an easily missed detail for viewers. This marks his fourth such appearance in the popular whodunnit series.
Fans have come to anticipate these hidden gems, with Gordon-Levitt having voiced a TV detective in the original "Knives Out" and a hourly chime in "Glass Onion." Director Rian Johnson has confirmed the latest cameo, highlighting the clever way the actor is integrated without a physical presence on screen.
The "Knives Out" franchise, starring Daniel Craig as detective Benoit Blanc, has consistently featured strong ensemble casts. While Gordon-Levitt's involvement has been limited to voice work, his versatility leaves open the possibility for a future on-screen role in the anthology series.
