Actor Allusion goes in media namespace.


* ActorAllusion:
** Jeff Fahey's character Thorold Stone in ''Revelation'' entering an ultra-realistic virtual reality simulation is an allusion to his appearing in [[Film/TheLawnmowerMan another movie featuring a virtual reality program]] where his character is warped to the point where he claims to be God. In contrast, Jeff Fahey's character in ''Revelation'' claims that he isn't looking for God.
** Corbin Bernsen plays a lawyer character in ''Judgment'', which is an allusion to his role in the TV series ''Series/LALaw''.
** At one point in ''Revelation''; Willie jokes that he wished the Day of Wonders virtual reality program he was working on was operating so he could take a look at Cindy Bolton in a bikini. Carol Alt (who played Cindy) worked primarily as a model and was on the cover of the 1982 Magazine/SportsIllustrated [[FanserviceCover Swimsuit Issue]].
