This is when a crewmember, executive or even the creator for a show makes an appearance in a part that would ordinarily be cast with a professional actor -- or the crewmember ''is'' also an actor.

This may start out as a CreatorCameo, with their original "extra" part becoming an AscendedExtra.

It is ''extremely'' common for foreign-language dubs to have voice actors who are also the dub's producer, ADR director or scriptwriters. This is both because their skill sets feed into each other (it's easier to write dialogue that [[LipLock matches lip flaps]] if you're used to reading it, and vice-versa) and as a cost-saving measure -- most dubs are non-union and relatively low-budget, so it pays to keep staffing small. This trope is also common in Western animation, as the production pipeline requires voice acting to be done before any actual animation can be created, which can result in the possibility of a crewmember becoming a PermanentPlaceholder should everyone become attached to the "scratch track" or the intended voice actor is a no-show. The practice was also common in the early era of voice acting in video games, due to the much smaller budgets of the time making it the only option.

* On ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'', series writer Laurie Elliott provides the voice of Jo. Additionally, in the spinoff ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace'', host Don is voiced by the spinoff's executive producer and series developer, Creator/TerryMcGurrin.

After his death, Ken Shiroyama became the current voice of Yanase Rabbit.
