I have some qualms about adding this, since it's been established that Fallen Creator is a page that is in serious need of cleanup, but I'm not sure if actors count under this trope. If and only if so, I will leave this here, but if it turns out that's not what it's for, I or someone else can remove this. For the moment, though, I think it's relevant.
