If I am not mistaken, J. R. R. Tolkiens grandson had a cameo. I believe he was a Gondorian ranger who was riding out with Faramir to challenge the witchking.
What! Do you mean Simon Tolkien? I recently read his first book. Top class, I enjoyed it.

I'm working my way through the commentaries on the RotK EE and have already heard the director's and authors' remarks. They mention several cameos in the third movie. Some of those have already been pointed out in the above posts, such as the fact that "Sam" and "Rosie" 's children are theirs, respectively, in real life. Also, Henry Mortensen (Viggo's son) plays in orc in the third film, the first one that Aragorn kills at the Pelennor Fields. And of course we all recognized the Jackson children in Gondor.

Royd Tolkien, J.R.R.'s grandson, plays a soldier of Gondor, the one giving out the spears at Osgiliath before the orcs attack from the river.

Howard Shore was cast for a cameo role in the drinking scene with the Rohirrim, but unfortunately what was filmed landed on the cutting room floor.

A number of crew members played extras and had fun doing it!

Tolkien Wow

I had no idea that Tolkien actually had grandsons! Call me naive but I've never even thought of that before. I hadn't ever heard beyond Christopher Tolkien so this is news for me...
I would love to read the book by Simon one day.

Shield extras

I would not be suprised that most of the casts wives, husdbands and children were in the movies, given the number of people involved .And noi matter who was whom they all did an excel;lent job and gave believeable preformances

I usually hate it when producers kids get parts in a movie, but this time, I thought they were well placed. They are so cute! I also think they were best as the hobbit kids.
