I try to keep a low profile in general. Not with my art but just as a person.
There are actually quite high profile British TV star cameos in it that you probably wouldn't even notice that the British wouldn't even notice let alone the American audience.
You can use your means in a good and bad way. In German-speaking art we had such a bad experience with the Third Reich when stories and images were used to tell lies. After the war literature was careful not to do the same which is why writers began to reflect on the stories they told and to make readers part of their texts. I do the same.
