Very partial list of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar movie/TV roles or cameos:

* Airplane * Fletch * Uncle Buck * A movie called "Matrix" that seems to be unrelated to "The Matrix" * The Critic (yes, the animated one) * Scrubs * Simpsons * Dave (recent TV show not movie) * Glass Onion

Also wrote at least on Episode of Veronica Mars.
