* Sam Sprinkles, from ''Webcomic/ZebraGirl'', is a deconstruction of the trope, as he's a FunnyAnimal rabbit actor from a parallel universe which seems to exist mostly to create cartoons for the main universe of the strip. After his show was canceled, he became a homeless, manic-depressive alcoholic. Of course, his experiences as an actor have left him impossibly GenreSavvy.

* ''Webcomic/CityFace''. [[TheRant The commentary below each page]] speaks of the characters like actors playing roles. And the ShoutBox [[http://gunnerkrigg.wikia.com/wiki/City_Face_comments below these pages]] featured commentary from these in-universe actors rather than from RealLife readers.
