Martin Scorsese doesn't just make a background appearance; he takes on a speaking role as a deeply disturbed passenger in Travis Bickle's cab. He forces Travis to keep the meter running while he obsessively watches a window and delivers a chilling, violent monologue. The original actor was sick that day, so Scorsese stepped in and delivered an iconic, improvised performance.
