Catherine and Charles Scorsese weren’t actors before their son started making movies, but they are now considered as such after appearing in many of his movies (including the documentary Italianamerican) and having minor roles in other movies, such as Moonstruck, The Godfather Part III (Catherine), and The Hard Way (Charles). Who’s That Knocking On My Door gave the audience a taste of Scorsese’s style and the themes he liked to address in his films, and marked a couple of trends in his movies, including the appearance of some of his most frequent collaborators: his parents. Martin Scorsese’s career as a filmmaker began in 1967 with the independent drama movie Who’s That Knocking On My Door, which was also the acting debut of Harvey Keitel (who would go on to appear in other Scorsese projects) and of Catherine Scorsese after appearing in her son’s short-film It’s Not You, Murray! in 1964.

Aside from themes like redemption, nihilism, and the Italian-American lifestyle, what many of Martin Scorsese’s works have in common are cameo appearances by his parents, Catherine and Charles Scorsese – and here’s every one of them.
