Newly appointed White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci paid $100,000 for a small part in the 2010 sequel to the film Wall Street, according to reports.

In the film, directed by Oliver Stone, Mr Scaramucci can be seen in two scenes. In one, he's talking on the phone to a client, saying: “Churchill Schwartz has a huge position in this thing and I want to get you in that stock."

His on-screen time in the film starring Michael Douglas and Shia LaBoeuf amounts to about 15 seconds, but it didn't come cheap.
