The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

Not-So-Small Role, Narrowed It Down to the Guy I Recognize, and Contractual Immortality.
132 is the rudest number.
This may not be a trope, but I could have sworn I'd seen it around before.
Essentially, the trope is a spoiler trope in live-action casting. If a MAJOR character is played by a name actor, we are USUALLY assured that character will survive though the course of the movie or show. If a MINOR character is cast as a name actor, that character will surely return to become important later in the film/show.
If this is not currently a trope, we need to YKTTW it ASAP.
