Home Alone fans will no doubt recall the moment when Kevin's mum Kate, played by Catherine O'Hara, loses her temper with an airport employee, swearing she would sell her soul 'to the devil himself' in order to get home to her left-behind son. Despite the theatrical speech, a silent, bearded extra in the queue behind Kate completely steals the scene, a man who bears an uncanny resemblance to Elvis Presley.
