cameoed

Made quick appearance

Cameoed is the past tense of cameo as a verb, meaning to make a brief appearance—typically a celebrity or notable person appearing momentarily in a film, show, or event: Stan Lee cameoed in nearly every Marvel movie.

The word carries the sense of a small but memorable appearance, like the carved profile on a cameo brooch.
