Pratchett himself has a cameo as a toymaker, in addition to his official script credit of 'Mucked About By'. Although not named in the original book or the script, Pratchett decided the toymaker was named Joshua Isme, and his shop was Toys Is Me (a play on Toys R Us). The set dressing for the toyshop included appropriate labels.
The Death of Rats was credited as played by "Dorckey Hellmice", an anagram of "Michelle Dockery".
Both Nigel Planer, who plays Sideney and the voice of the Auditors, and Tony Robinson, who plays Mr Crumley, have been the readers for many of the audiobook editions of the Discworld novels, and have both had voice acting roles in the Discworld video games.
Ian Richardson also played Francis Urquhart in the BBC series House of Cards; Death's line to Albert, you may think i've already thought of that, but i could not possibly comment, mirrors a similar phrase of Urquhart's.

Famous quotes containing the words main and/or cast:
“So long as war is the main business of nations, temporary despotism—despotism during the campaign—is indispensable.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“indolence read as abnegation,
slattern thought styled intuition,
every lapse forgiven, our crime
only to cast too bold a shadow
or smash the mold straight off.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
