* In ''WesternAnimation/FindingDory'', Creator/SigourneyWeaver plays as an announcer of the same name who welcomes visitors to the fictional aquarium. This is one of the most remembered scenes from the movie, partly because of her popularity, and partly because she says the movie's ArcWords for the first time.
-->'''Sigourney Weaver:''' Hello. I'm Sigourney Weaver. Won't you please join us, as we explore the wonders of the Pacific Ocean and the amazing life it holds within. Witness the majesty of the beluga whale. ''(...)'' And welcome to the Marine Life Institute, where we believe in rescue, rehabilitation and release.

* ''VisualNovel/{{Aquarium}}'': Aqua, Fubuki and Marine play themselves in a medieval setting. [[spoiler:The modern Aqua Minato's livestream is used at the end of the novel in a OrWasItADream segment.]] Notably, Fubuki being a token [[LittleBitBeastly fox girl]] isn't questioned and a sprite of Theo shows this isn't shared among the Francois family. She also keeps surname Shirakami in the story. The dialogues still imply they are siblings.

We've seen cases where a very famous actor plays [[CelebrityCameo an impossibly small part]] in a movie, either as themselves or as a character. We've seen cases when a fictional character [[CharacterAsHimself is listed in the credits as Himself/Herself.]] We've seen an actor [[TheDanza playing a character with the same name]] as themselves. We've seen a real celebrity appear as themselves on a show [[SpecialGuest for a quick laugh]] or maybe they [[CelebrityStar take over the entire episode.]] And we've seen a beloved actor [[SelfParody parody themselves]] by playing the [[AdamWesting flanderized version of themselves or their most well-known character]] for laughs.

* ''Art/PortraitOfMadameX'': {{Downplayed}}. It is said that various unfounded rumors about the model Gautreau's sexual exploits were what led to Sargent wanting to create the portrait, the titular "Madame X" herself being a character that was confident in her sexuality. Just the fact that the portrait represented a character and not the model was considered a very modern idea.
