According to federal prosecutors, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, former chief adviser to Mayor Eric Adams, helped a pair of well-connected film executives stop a controversial Brooklyn street redesign project partly in exchange for help landing a cameo appearance in the Hulu series “Godfather of Harlem.” But Lewis-Martin, who has pleaded not guilty and denied that there was any quid pro quo, isn’t the figure in New York City politics to try their hand at acting.

Just ask these politicians, who scored cameos of their own without even agreeing to kill a bike lane:

Eric Adams made a cameo in the 2017 Turkish rom-com New York Masali where two guys ask him for political favors in Turkish. He says he can’t understand them, but they take a selfie.
