8 | ->''"After two hopeless seasons of Happy Get-Along Archer, [[{{Retool}} attempts were made]] to turn him into [[DarkerAndEdgier a darker, more driven character]], but it never stuck. Creator/ScottBakula will always be Scott Bakula: [[NiceGuy a super nice guy]]."'' |

11 | ->''Along the same lines, there's a really popular trend to replace character names with actor names, like "The [[Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia Narnians]] think all their problems will be solved when Creator/LiamNeeson returns." Or you replace a character's name with another character the actor has played, like "In'' A Walk in the Clouds, ''[[Film/TheMatrix Neo]] returns from UsefulNotes/WorldWarII to find a series of plot twists that conveniently let him dump his wife for a more attractive woman while still being the good guy."\ |

13 | Once again, people saw this used in a funny way somewhere and took home the wrong lesson. Usually when it's done right, it's done to make a point, like the fact that the actor fails so badly at disappearing into the role that you never see the character because the actor is so obviously himself. Like I don't even remember Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger's character names in half the movies he was in because you just look at him and see Arnold Schwarzenegger. If the writer spent any time or effort writing a personality for the character, they'll probably never make that mistake again, because on screen the character is just "Here's Arnold Schwarzenegger if he happened to be a spy/doctor/scientist."\ |

15 | So when you say, "Here's the scene in'' Film/{{Junior}} ''where Arnold Schwarzenegger is about to give birth," it's not some forced formula joke, it's an accurate way of describing how the scene comes across to most viewers -- Arnold Schwarzenegger giving birth.[[labelnote:Caption:]]His character was named Dr. Alex Hesse. Anyone who remembers that probably worked on the film.[[/labelnote]]'' |
