HeyItsThatGuy is not always trivia. It is if the fact that an actor has done more than one work is incidental. For example, KathyBates in {{Misery}} does not rate a HITG as \\\"the chick from FriedGreenTomatoes.\\\" She was just a good fit for the part.
But sometimes a casting team and/or director or producer \\\'\\\'specifically hire an actor known for certain roles.\\\'\\\' (Like, say, anything that WilWheaton has been in since STTNG. Sorry, @wilw.) Their appearance in the work is not because they were necessarily a good fit, but because the show/movie creators either wanted them specifically, or even specifically wanted someone known to a target audience. (Like putting ChristopherLee or IanMcKellen in a fantasy movie. Or [[LordOfTheRings both]].) In this case, a reaction of \\\"HeyItsThatGuy\\\" is \\\'\\\'intended.\\\'\\\'
The thing is, because so much of HITG entries are incidental, this idea that HITG qualifies as trivia has become a hard-and-fast no-exception rule that karma-crunching editors will automatically ship to the Trivia/ subpage of a work without a second thought, which... frankly, that\\\'s the sort of shallow-minded autocratic crap I expect from TheOtherWiki. And even there, they have some semblance of sense, once in a while, for making these sorts of distinctions.
