** This is frequently the case with an actress named Traci Hovel, who appears in several roles that require a woman in her thirties (her roles have ranged from beleaguered waitress to supermarket con artist to lazy EMT). Sharp-eyed viewers might also notice that Traci occasionally gets DemotedToExtra whenever WWYD runs scenarios in restaurants or stores, and in those cases she usually takes on the minor role of clerk or waitress (or even fellow patron) just in case a customer needs someone to vent to. And from the looks of things, the poor woman actually works the job itself for the day.
** This is also the case with an actor named Jeremy Holm, who like Traci participates in a wide range of scenarios, and frequently takes on waiter roles. Quiñones mentioned in one narration that Jeremy works as a waiter in RealLife whenever he doesn't have an acting job.
** Quiñones {{lampshade}}s the trope in one episode, when he identifies one actor playing an anti-Semetic store clerk as having played a racist clerk in two other WWYD scenarios.
