Creator Chosen Casting is when the casting of an adaptation is influenced by the creator of the work being adapted; an original character written for a specific actor is not an example

* OutOfOrder: Season two's "Supersnout" was filmed after "Hit and Run", [[spoiler:in which Carter's wife is murdered]], but broadcast first. As a result, the former episode has an odd scene where Carter asks Regan if his two female neighbours are still around, and is disappointed when they aren't. As a result what was supposed to be a downbeat Carter looking to relieve some depression instead becomes a randy police officer prepared to cheat on his wife.
