Why did Alfred Hitchcock make an appearance in his films?

The story he told was this:

He needed an extra to do a VERY quick scene in The Lodger, but the appointed extra didn't show. Rather than waste time and money trying to find another extra to do this one second scene, Hitchcock just did the scene himself.

The film was Hitchcock's first big success. Since the entertainment business is incredibly superstitious, he figured his appearence in the film brought him good luck, so he just repeated the short cameo in his next few films. By the time he got tired of this gimmick, he found his fans were actually EXPECTING this cameo in every film. So he just kept doing it in every film, LONG after he felt any need to do so.
