* A music variant occurs in the final scenes of ''Film/TheDevilsAdvocate''. Evidently the filmmakers wanted to end the film with "Sympathy For The Devil" By Music/TheRollingStones. It would seem they had to settle for less appropriate "Paint It Black".

* ''Series/GetSmart''. Don Adams was unavailable for the episode "Ice Station Sigfried" so Maxwell Smart's place was taken by a CIA agent named Quigly, played by Adams' friend Bill Dana. You can tell that very little rewriting was done to the script, and the writers simply gave Maxwell Smart's lines to Quigly. Source: AbsenteeActor.

* ''Film/StarTrekGenerations'''s producers hoped to get [=DeForest=] Kelley to appear as Dr. [=McCoy=], but due to his [[AbsenteeActor declining health]], he could not get on-set insurance. Most of his lines in the opening scene were given to Pavel Chekov, which is why Chekov drafts reporters as nurses and heads to Sickbay. Scotty was given one line, asking Kirk if he wanted a tranquilizer. ([[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111280/trivia see here]])

** The most notable example is "[[Recap/DoctorWho20thASTheFiveDoctors The Five Doctors]]", which Creator/TerranceDicks wrote with actor availability in mind. Here is the problem: "The Five Doctors"' [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters impressive cast]] forced Dicks to write those characters as generically as possible, ''and it's glaringly obvious'' in many places.

** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS20E3MawdrynUndead Mawdryn Undead]]" was originally written as a return appearance by Ian Chesterton, but the actor was unavailable. It was rewritten for Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, but the school setting was retained, with a handwave about the Brig retiring from the military and becoming a teacher.
