A cameo role is a small role played in a movie or play, by a higher standing actor or someone of relative fame (politician, sports figure, talk show host, etc.). Cameos are also often made by successful members of a film or play's crew, such as the director or producer. This is usually a very brief appearance to add punch to the topic in the film/play. The function of a cameo is typically to add humour or substance to the brief time the character is onscreen.
That's when someone well known or has contributed to the movie is briefly shown. The cameo doesn't have a large role to the plot, and is just used as a recognition devise.
For example, at the end of the movie The Pursuit of Happiness, the guy that the movie is based on briefly passes by the scene. That would be a cameo role.
