Personalized Messages from 5 Maine-Born Celebrities on Cameo

The internet and social media have significantly transformed how fans connect with their favorite celebrities. Once upon a time, you only got to know a celebrity through their performances in movies or TV shows. Now, you can get glimpses of their “real life” through Instagram posts or even send them direct messages on platforms like X. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, they might even reply.

In addition to social media engagement, there’s a unique platform called Cameo that allows fans to receive personalized video messages from celebrities. This can make your day, or even be a perfect gift for someone special. Cameo also hosts some celebrities who hail from Maine.

Cameo is described as a platform “where you connect with your favorite stars” through personalized messages. Launched in 2017, it gained major traction during the pandemic when people were looking for positivity while staying at home, as much of the entertainment industry was on pause, according to The Guardian.

However, these messages come at a price. E! News mentioned that prices can reach up to $2,500 for a video from Caitlyn Jenner, $999 for a clip from Kevin Smith, and $600 for a shout-out from Ice-T.

If you were hoping to find Maine’s most famous residents like Stephen King, Anna Kendrick, or Patrick Dempsey on Cameo, you’ll be disappointed. They aren’t on the platform as of 2024. Still, you never know what the future might bring.

Fortunately, five Maine-born celebrities are available on Cameo, ready to send you a memorable shout-out.

The most expensive of these is Timothy Simons, known for his roles in “Veep” and “Don’t Worry Darling.” Simons, born in Readfield, Maine, charges $500 for a video message.

Then there’s Erin Andrews, the sportscaster familiar from ESPN, Fox News, and “Dancing With the Stars.” Born in Lewiston, Maine, Andrews offers her personalized messages for $250.

“Seinfeld” fans will be thrilled to know that John O’Hurley, who played J. Peterman, is also on Cameo. Born in Kittery, Maine, O’Hurley’s videos are available for $199.

Reality TV enthusiasts might be surprised to learn that Roger Mathews of “Jersey Shore” fame is a Maine native. He was born in Cherryfield, Maine, and you can get a fun message from him for $50.

The most affordable Maine-born celeb on the platform is Greg Finley. Known for his roles in “Secret Life of the American Teenager” and “The Flash,” Finley was born in Portland, Maine, and offers videos at $40 each.
