* ''Film/CarryOnSeries'': On the DVDCommentary for ''Film/CarryOnLoving'', Creator/JackiPiper admits she had been a fan of the older ''Film/CarryOn'' films such as ''Film/CarryOnNurse'' before she had got the part of June in ''Film/CarryOnUpTheKhyber'', while Creator/RichardOCallaghan admits he had also been a fan of the older ''Carry On'' films, such as ''Film/CarryOnCabby'' and ''Film/CarryOnSergeant'' before he had got the part of Bertram Muffett.

* Creator/WalkerScobell, who plays 12-year-old Adam in ''Film/TheAdamProject'', is a massive ''Film/{{Deadpool}}'' fan, who can recite entire monologues from the film (and has recited the opening monologue to ''Film/Deadpool2'' in multiple promotional appearances, leading to a ClusterFBomb[[note]]and resulting in a mix of amusement, pride, and horror from the adults in his presence[[/note]].) This was actually in his favor, because the filmmakers realized that it was easy for him to play Creator/RyanReynolds' younger self.

* Creator/DonaldSutherland and Creator/ElizabethBanks both approached the creators asking for their roles in ''Film/TheHungerGames'' because they were huge fans of the books. Additionally, they both requested major expansions for their chosen characters (President Snow and Effie Trinket, respectively) based on their own ideas -- and [[[AscendedFanfic got them]]!

* Creator/HaileeSteinfeld was already a big fan of the original ''Film/PitchPerfect'', to the point of even admitting to family members that this was the type of cast she'd want to be working with. To say she was over the moon getting the role of Emily in the sequel would be an understatement.

* Creator/PedroPascal received influence from Creator/NicolasCage as an actor, and would eventually perform opposite him in ''Film/TheUnbearableWeightOfMassiveTalent'', as [[AscendedFanboy a Nick Cage fan appointed to co-write his next movie]].

* Creator/PedroPascal received influence from Creator/NicolasCage as an actor, and would eventually perform opposite him in ''Film/TheUnbearableWeightOfMassiveTalent''.

* Hugh Bonneville, Creator/NicoleKidman and director Paul King all had fond memories of Literature/{{Paddington|Bear}} as kids, hence why they all agreed to work on [[Film/{{Paddington}} the film adaptation]].

* Music/ChristinaPerri is a big ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' fan, so she was absolutely thrilled when the filmmakers asked her to write a song for the movie (which included a free early showing)

* Creator/MyleneDemongeot is a huge fan of Creator/AlexandreDumas' novels, and Milady de Winter from ''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers'' is her favorite character out of them all. She lobbied hard to get the role when she learned of the [[Film/TheThreeMusketeers1961 1961 production]], and obtained it, even accepting a ridiculously low paycheck.

* Creator/WalkerScobell, who plays 12-year-old Adam in ''Film/TheAdamProject'', is a child actor but he's also a massive ''Film/{{Deadpool}}'' fan, who can recite entire monologues from the film (and has recited the opening monologue to ''Film/Deadpool2'' in multiple promotional appearances, leading to a ClusterFBomb[[note]]and resulting in a mix of amusement, pride, and horror from the adults in his presence[[/note]].) This was actually in his favor, because the filmmakers realized that it was easy for him to play Creator/RyanReynolds' younger self.

* In a rare occasion where he was willing to talk about ''Film/Alien3'', Creator/DavidFincher said "I wanted to do an Alien movie. I wanted to do one since I was 16. (...) The fact that [[ExecutiveMeddling I wasn't allowed to was my own fault]]. But, you know, that was a world that I loved that I couldn't get enough of."

** Even executive producer Michael Uslan is a fan of Batman as well. In fact, he collected both Batman and {{Superman}} comics ever since he was a child.

* Creator/TaikaWaititi was a [[https://www.indiewire.com/2017/02/taika-waititi-thor-ragnarok-marvel-1201777684/ die-hard comic book fan]] since he was a child. Though he had a small role as Tom Kalmaku in ''Film/GreenLantern2011,'' he fell face-first into this trope by writing and directing multiple movies in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, along with playing Korg, the rocky alien introduced in ''Film/ThorRagnarok''

** Is anyone is wondering why members of [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague the Green Bay Packers]] make a rather [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment unexplained cameo]] during Pitch Perfect 2's riff off? Well it turns out they were huge fans, and director Creator/ElizabethBanks asked them to come on once she learned the fact. Several of the cast members even admitted that the football players memorized all the choreography to their performances in the first movie.
