Cameos are brief appearances by well-known or otherwise significant people in the episodes of Lost, in cases where their fame, significance, or accessibility was a primary factor in being selected to appear. The people are not necessarily actors, and the parts are usually uncredited nonspeaking parts. It is not considered a cameo appearance when actors known for other works are hired for parts in Lost.
