Obviously loaded with stars, but Dennis Farina and Paul Giamatti come to mind.

Trying to score points with celebrity surprises actually takes away from the experience. Hey, it's Ted Danson from Cheers!

Some were, some weren’t. Case in point, Danson and Fillian

Ted Danson felt somewhat out of place to me. Movie is moving along and out of nowhere “whoa what the hell is Ted Danson doing there?”

The German sniper in the church steeple was Kevin Costner. However there was some sort of controversy and his credit was pulled, then added back, then pulled. If you have an early version of the DVD his name might be in it.
EDIT: Leo Stransky is now credited as the sniper. I don’t know what the foul up was but Costner was in original cast. A ‘typo” maybe.

Was he a guest star or just an actor with a minor role?

Minor role. Maybe 3-4 minutes of screen time, tops.

Kind of reminds me of the end of Young Guns when one of the soldiers Billy and the Gang kill in the final shootout turns out to be Tom Cruise who was hanging out on set that day and asked could he be an extra.

Hollywood War movies has a long history of jam-packing stars in minor roles throughout the film. Saving Private Ryan was no different.
It ups the game of eveyone to have great actors in every scene.

One of a handful of movies with nudity and an f-bomb carrying a PG-13 rating.

Not many people noticed that Private Ryan was played by Matt Damon. The guy from We Bought a Zoo

Guest stars? I always thinking “guest stars” as people who show up in a TV series not a movie.
I think you mean cameos.
