In 2013's Iron Man 3, Sir Ben Kingsley made audiences laugh as Trevor Slattery, a drug-addled actor recruited to play at being a terrorist, but that wasn't the first time a Kingsley performance poked fun at his own profession. In the 2006 Sopranos episode "Luxury Lounge," Kingsley is stuck taking a meeting with Christopher Moltisanti and Little Carmine, who want him to play a mob boss in their upcoming film Cleaver.
When we first see Kingsley, he's on his phone with his agent demanding to know why he's even meeting the gangsters, and starts cursing when he learns what we already know — that his agent set up the meeting to satisfy a gambling debt. During the gathering, it's obvious Kingsley isn't at all interested in what they're selling. When another celebrity walks by, he takes the opportunity to interrupt things by saying hello, and soon after cuts the meeting short.
Kingsley is clearly playing a parody of himself and it's hilarious. When he bumps into Christopher on the elevator later, it's as awkward as running into someone you remember from a bad date. When they wind up on the same plane back to the east coast, Kingsley's response is one word (we'll let you guess what) and it's delivered perfectly.
