A lot of movie examples are in fact cases of Actor Allusion. I wonder if moving them to the proper page and deleting them from here would be considered a vandalism.

Another example from "Cold Case"...

In an episode called "Willcommen" singer Adam Pascal portrays a shy taxi driver auditioning for a role with a community theatre production of "Cabaret"... Adam Pascal is actually a rather well-known in musical theatre circles actor/singer in the musical "Rent."

Can we say... you look surprisingly like someone famous!

I read the description and though I understood it, then the examples left me doubtful before the article scrolled off the page. What is this about again, and what are these things doing here?

Is there a trope for "casting actor X in the role of character Y, but everybody knows that they are really casting actor X"?
