On occasion, Haruo Nakajima would appear in a kaiju film as himself (such as a military official or a newspaper editor) as well as the man in the monster suit.

Here's a few examples:

Above, Nakajima (far left) appeared as a newspaper editor in Godzilla (1954).

Above, Nakajma (second from left) appears as a military officer in Rodan (1956).

Above, in an interesting shot in Rodan, Nakajima (left) flees himself in the Rodan suit.

Above, in Destroy All Monsters (1968), Nakajima is shown in the foreground at left.
