OK, I don’t know if being a public intellectual necessitates a cameo in a film (a la McLuhan), but it sure is cool. Cornel West (sans glasses) whom I find to be one of the most engaging writers and speakers in academia, is also a member of the council in Matrix Reloaded. I’m surprised they didn’t take cuts off of his rap album for the soundtrack.

I’m glad that I’m not the only one who noticed the cameo by my fellow Democratic Socialist Cornell West. =)
Honestly, I didn’t recognize him in the movie. The guy seemed vaguely familiar, but then so did The Architect, and he is aparently a random actor. It wasn’t until I saw the Times piece that I realized it was him. Great line, though.
My jaw kinda dropped when I saw him and I was a bit stunned. I had to look it up online later to confirm it was him =)
