Director James Watkins has confirmed that Aaron Paul makes a brief appearance in the DC Studios film Clayface. Paul appears for approximately one second as Jimmy “One Nut” Hagen, the father of Matt Hagen, who is played by Tom Rhys Harries. According to TheWrap, the cameo occurs during a club-set fight scene near the end of the movie when Matt uses his clay powers to transform into his father to scare mobsters.
