* Happens both in ''Series/BandOfBrothers'' and ''Series/ThePacific'', when the actual veterans memorize their war memories.



* Used often in ''Series/{{Lost}}'' flashbacks involving a TimeshiftedActor. Frequently, these flashbacks will begin the episode, and then cut to the character on the island in the present.
* [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in an episode of ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'': J.D. is imagining growing old with his girlfriend, and the shot fades into that of them in heavy old-people makeup.
