| 8 | From Characters.TheLionGuard: |
| 9 | * AllThereInTheManual: According to the show script and the subtitles on Google Play, his name is Thurston, '''[[ActorAllusion after his VA's character in]]''' ''Series/GilligansIsland''. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | '''Pothole. I believe this counts as correct usage.''' |
| 12 | |
| 13 | |
| 14 | From ShoutOut.LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions: |
| 15 | * In episode 1, during a flashback scene, Yuuta is doing an arm-breaking pose reminiscent of either a [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure JoJo]] character or Lelouche Lamperouge of ''Anime/CodeGeass'' fame (of whom Creator/JunFukuyama, Yuuta's voice actor, also voiced). Doubles as an ActorAllusion. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | '''Pothole. Correct usage.''' |
| 18 | |
| 19 | |
| 20 | From WesternAnimation.TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace: |
| 21 | * ActorAllusion: In "I Love Ridonc and Roll", the Adversity Twins (voiced by Lyon Smith, the voice actor for [[WesternAnimation/GrojBand Corey Riffin]]) go on stage to play air guitar. Ironically, they end up doing poorly, while Corey Riffin is a lead guitarist. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | '''I feel like this could be a stretch, but it's close enough to the correct usage of the trope that I'll count it.''' |
| 24 | |
| 25 | |
| 26 | From ''Film.{{Mosquito}}'' (1st of 2 examples from the page): |
| 27 | * ShoutOut: |
| 28 | ** Earl with a chainsaw - he mentions it's been twenty years since he last used one, and twenty years prior, Creator/GunnarHansen played Leatherface, who used a chainsaw in Film/TheTexasChainSawMassacre1974, doubling as ActorAllusion. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | '''Correct. Explicitly connects the actor to a different role and identifies the specific reference to that role.''' |
| 31 | |
| 32 | |
| 33 | From Recap.TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012S3E4TheCroaking: |
| 34 | * ActorAllusion: Played for all its worth with Napoleon, voiced by Jon Heder, the frog has the same manner of speech, catchphrases, personality and, of course, first name as Film/NapoleonDynamite, and a strong physical resemblance to boot. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | '''This looks like correct usage to me. Though technically I think it should make it more clear that Heder played the title character in Film/NapoleonDynamite.''' |
| 37 | |
| 38 | |
| 39 | From Recap.PersonOfInterestS03E01: |
| 40 | * ActorAllusion: One of Shaw's [[DeadpanSnarker quips]] obliquely references Sarah Shahi's previous TV series, ''Series/FairlyLegal,'' in which she played a mediator: |
| 41 | -->'''Shaw:''' Hey Reese, no offense, but if the vigilante thing doesn't work out, I'm not really seeing a future for you in [[Series/FairlyLegal conflict resolution.]] |
| 42 | |
| 43 | '''This feels like a really vague reference to me (as the entry itself says, it's definitely oblique), but it's at least a specific enough reference that I'm okay with calling it correct use.''' |
| 44 | |
| 45 | |
| 46 | From Characters.StarTrekOnlineDiscovery: |
| 47 | * ActorAllusion: His taunt of choice, "Experience ''bIj''" ("punishment"), is a reference to the ''other'' other Klingon portrayed by Robert O'Reilly, namely Kavok from the 1993 ''Klingon Challenge'' board game. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | '''I think this is fine? It doesn't really explain ''how'' it's a reference to the other character, though.''' |

| 51 | |
| 52 | [[folder:Correct example in the wrong namespace: 1]] |
| 53 | From Trivia.SuperheroMovie: |
| 54 | * ActorAllusion: Rick accidentally kneeling on Creator/LeslieNielsen's groin. It's in the trailer. It's also in ''[[Film/TheNakedGun Naked Gun 2 ½: The Smell of Fear]]''. |
| 55 | |
| 56 | '''Wrong namespace. Could use some more detail, but I think it's close enough that it would be considered 100% correct use if it were on the main page.''' |
| 57 | [[/folder]] |
| 58 | |
| 59 | [[folder:(likely) Misuse: 7]] |
| 60 | From Characters.TheCrown2016OtherCharacters: |
| 61 | * ActorAllusion: This isn't the last time a character played by Stephen Dillane and Churchill will come to blows over the latter's self-image. Sutherland's heated disagreement with the Prime Minister echoes Dillane's later role as Churchill's Foreign Secretary [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Wood,_1st_Earl_of_Halifax Viscount Halifax]] in ''Film/DarkestHour''[[note]]in a nutshell, Churchill was opposed to Halifax's plan to negotiate peace with Germany even as they took France in 1940. Halifax was of the opinion that Churchill foolishly believed too much in a romanticised LastStand to admit his loss, preparing to resign in protest. He was eventually proven wrong as Churchill gained the support of Parliament and [[ReassignedToAntarctica shunted to Washington D.C. as a diplomatic envoy]].[[/note]]. |
| 62 | |
| 63 | '''Dillane's casting in '''''Film/DarkestHour''''' was announced only 4 days after the release of Season One''' |
| 64 | '''of '''''Series/TheCrown2016'''''. It seems unlikely that this was even a CastingGag, and strikes me as more of a''' '''tenuous coincidence. And if not a coincidence, it would still be CastingGag and not ActorAllusion.''' |
| 65 | |
| 66 | |
| 67 | From ''Film.TheTenCommandments1956'': |
| 68 | * ActorAllusion: Prior to playing the Pharaoh, Creator/YulBrynner [[Theatre/TheKingAndI was running Siam and wooing the English tutor]] in both the Broadway musical and later the film. It's good to be the king, indeed. Ironically, in that role, Anna tells the story of Moses, and he responds, "This Moses is a fool." Incidentally, three years later, Brynner would go on to play [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon_and_Sheba King Solomon.]] |
| 69 | |
| 70 | '''This example is all over the place. It seems more like {{Typecasting}} to me, to be honest. The only thing mentioned that could be a direct reference to any of Brynner's other roles is from the movie that came ''first'' chronologically, meaning it can't possibly be an ActorAllusion.''' |
| 71 | |
| 72 | |
| 73 | From Recap.ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphiaS05E07TheGangWrestlesForTheTroops: |
| 74 | * ActorAllusion: Wrestling/RoddyPiper's character, Da'Maniac, is a wrestler who's fallen on hard times, lives inside of his car and wrestles in small-time events. [[Film/TheWrestler Sound familiar?]] |
| 75 | |
| 76 | '''Low-context/general example. I've placed it in misuse because I checked and Wrestling/RoddyPiper wasn't in the cast of Film/TheWrestler, so I have no idea what would make this an ActorAllusion.''' |
| 77 | |
| 78 | |
| 79 | From Film.JeffWhoLivesAtHome: |
| 80 | * ActorAllusion: [[Series/HowIMetYourMother This isn't the first time that]] Creator/JasonSegel belongs in a family that has a thing for redheads. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | '''Not enough context, but I'm not sure how it could be anything but misuse.''' |
| 83 | |
| 84 | |
| 85 | From YMMV.{{Eureka}}: |
| 86 | * HilariousInHindsight: |
| 87 | ** Jonathon Young plays a scientist named Edison. A few months later, he would appear in Series/{{Sanctuary}} as UsefulNotes/NikolaTesla (might count as ActorAllusion depending on whether his casting in Sanctuary was already known at the time of the episode's writing). |
| 88 | |
| 89 | '''Pothole. Because the example admits it's speculative, I've put it under misuse.''' |
| 90 | |
| 91 | |
| 92 | From Film.{{Swimfan}}: |
| 93 | * ActorAllusion: Funny enough, Erika Christensen also made love in a pool in ''The Banger Sisters'', also released in September of 2002. |
| 94 | |
| 95 | '''Since they were released at the same time, I think this is just a coincidence, and therefore misuse.''' |
| 96 | |
| 97 | |
| 98 | From Film.VincentWantsToSea: |
| 99 | * ActorAllusion: In ''The Road Within''. Robert (played by Creator/RobertPatrick) is with a woman named Monica. Monica is the name of Creator/RobertPatrick's character's partner in ''Series/TheXFiles''. |
| 100 | |
| 101 | '''Seems like just a coincidence.''' |
| 102 | [[/folder]] |
| 103 | |
| 104 | [[folder:Insufficient context: 26]] |
| 105 | From AdamAndEvePlot: |
| 106 | * Subverted in ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'', where Leela falls in love with someone she believes to be [[ActorAllusion another cyclops]]. Even when [[{{Jerkass}} his personality gets to be too much to bear]], Leela feels that she owes it to her species to repopulate. As it turns out, [[spoiler:Alcazar was a shape-shifter - who had fooled four other girls]]. After Fry exposes him, the [[WeddingDeadline wedding is called off]]. Of course, it later turns out that Leela is [[spoiler:really a sewer mutant]]. |

| 118 | *** '''{{ZCE}} Pothole. ''' |
| 119 | |
| 120 | |
| 121 | From Characters.MashinSentaiKiramagerAllies: |
| 122 | * EccentricMentor: Not to the extent of say, [[Series/UchuSentaiKyuranger Shou Ronpo]], but he's prone to his quirky moments, such as bringing out a big banner to name Gemini (which was named by [[ActorAllusion combining two words together]]). |
| 123 | |
| 124 | '''{{ZCE}} Pothole.''' |
| 125 | |
| 126 | |
| 127 | From Recap.TheFlash2014S3E13AttackOnGorillaCity: |
| 128 | * ActorAllusion: The episode has Creator/TomFelton going up against [[Film/RiseOfThePlanetOfTheApes sentient apes]]. The episode even has Julian {{Squee}}ing over ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes''. |
| 129 | |
| 130 | '''Not enough context.''' |
| 131 | |
| 132 | |
| 133 | From Recap.TheMuppetShowS3E6: |
| 134 | * ActorAllusion: During their duet, Jean calls Fozzie a [[Series/AllInTheFamily "Dingbat"]]. |
| 135 | |
| 136 | '''Not enough context.''' |
| 137 | |
| 138 | |
| 139 | From Literature.TheReluctantFundamentalist: |

| 142 | '''{{ZCE}} Sinkhole.''' |
| 143 | |
| 144 | |
| 145 | From ''Film.{{Mosquito}}'' (2nd of 2 examples from the page): |
| 146 | * ActorAllusion: Upon getting a large chainsaw, Earl mentions that he hasn't used one in 20 years. It feels good. |
| 147 | |
| 148 | '''Doesn't explain why the reference is an ActorAllusion.''' |
| 149 | |
| 150 | |
| 151 | From ComicBook.BigTroubleInLittleChina: |
| 152 | * {{Crossover}}: Has one with ''Film/EscapeFromNewYork''. ActorAllusion ensuses. |
| 153 | |
| 154 | '''{{ZCE}} Pothole.''' |
| 155 | |
| 156 | |
| 157 | From ReferencedBy.LoveStory: |
| 158 | * The final lines of ''Film/WhatsUpDoc''. (Also an ActorAllusion, as Howard is played by Ryan O'Neal.) |
| 159 | -->'''Judy:''' Love means never having to say you're sorry.\ |
| 160 | '''Howard:''' [[StupidestThingIveEverHeard That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard]]. |
| 161 | |
| 162 | '''Pothole. It doesn't seem like the pothole is ''inaccurate'', but I would think it would need more context to justify it being there.''' |
| 163 | |
| 164 | |
| 165 | From ShoutOut.LEGOMarvelSuperHeroes: |
| 166 | * In the bonus level "House Party Protocol", building the turntables for the party gives this gem: |
| 167 | -->'''ComicBook/NickFury:''' [[ActorAllusion And you will know that I am the DJ]] [[Film/PulpFiction when I lay my beats down upon thee!]] |

| 169 | '''{{ZCE}} Pothole. (It is correct usage, though)''' |
| 170 | |
| 171 | |
| 172 | From Trivia.ElTigreTheAdventuresOfMannyRivera: |
| 173 | * ActorAllusion: The Seventh Samurai, voiced by Creator/GeorgeTakei, says "Oh my" at one point in his debut episode. |

| 181 | '''Wrong namespace. Not enough context.''' |
| 182 | |
| 183 | |
| 184 | From Trivia.HisDarkMaterials: |
| 185 | * ActorAllusion: As a nod to Dafne Keen's role in {{Film/Logan}}, in Season 2 Pantalaimon takes the form of a wolverine to intimidate the kids in Città gazze [[spoiler:and later to battle the Golden Monkey when Lyra and Mrs. Coulter cross paths again.]] |
| 186 | |
| 187 | '''Wrong namespace. Not enough context.''' |
| 188 | |
| 189 | |
| 190 | From Trivia.TouchedByAnAngel |
| 191 | * ActorAllusion: Rose's story in the season 8 episode "[[http://www.touched.com/episodeguide/seasoneight/819.html The Bells Of Saint Peter's]]" guest stars Doris Roberts as a older woman who is sticking her nose in the affairs of the life of a younger woman she is related to. [[Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond Sound familar]]? |
| 192 | |
| 193 | '''Wrong namespace. Not enough context (FWIW, I do understand the reference, and I think it's too tenuous to be an ActorAllusion).''' |
| 194 | |
| 195 | |
| 196 | From VideoGame.TheForceUnleashed: |
| 197 | * ShoutOut: |
| 198 | ** The Achievement for killing a certain number of stormtroopers in the prologue level? [[WebVideo/ChadVader Worst Day-Shift Manager Ever.]] Possibly an ActorAllusion, given the fact that Vader is voiced by Matt Sloan. |
| 199 | |
| 200 | '''Pothole, not enough context.''' |
| 201 | |
| 202 | |
| 203 | From WesternAnimation.HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw (1st of 2 examples from the page): |
| 204 | * ReferenceOverdosed: Too many [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]] to count, and more than just the obvious ones covered by {{Crossover}}. Just about every scene contains a reference to something else, be it other shows (an ActorAllusion ad for ''Series/TheColbertReport''), movies (Harvey reenacting the dance scene from ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast''), politics ("Guitar Control") or recent (Boo-Boo Bear as Elián González) or historical (Magilla Gorilla as Patty Hearst) events. |
| 205 | |
| 206 | '''I don't think this gives enough context to justify the pothole.''' |
| 207 | |
| 208 | |
| 209 | From WesternAnimation.Sealab2021: |
| 210 | * ActorAllusion: Marco, particularly early on, would occasionally make references to ''Series/{{Chips}}'', such as humming the theme while driving. |
| 211 | |
| 212 | '''Usage is actually correct, but the example doesn't give enough context.''' |
| 213 | |
| 214 | |
| 215 | From Characters.LegoCityUndercover: |
| 216 | * LampshadeHanging: One of his fellow inmates keeps mistaking him for a... ahem, certain famous actor, and keeps trying to make ActorAllusion comments. Blue is having none of it. |

| 220 | |

| 234 | * ActorAllusion: To Creator/KeithDavid. "Hey, were you in ''Series/TheCape''?" [[TakeThat "...No."]] Doubles as a CallBack. |
| 235 | |
| 236 | '''I don't think this example gives as much context as it could or should. I get the gist, but I still think it's too low-context. It's also making me realize I'm not sure when a ShoutOut becomes an ActorAllusion?''' |
| 237 | |
| 238 | |
| 239 | From WesternAnimation.ABugsLife: |
| 240 | * ActorAllusion: As he pretends to be dying from the fake bird attack, Manny (Creator/JonathanHarris) cries out "[[Series/LostInSpace Oh, the pain!]]" |
| 241 | |
| 242 | '''Not enough info to tell if it's correct or not.''' |
| 243 | |

| 245 | From Housepets.TropesAToL: |
| 246 | * HypocriticalHumor: Frequently! The best example comes from [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2011/09/05/and-again-i-say-fie/ the Macbeth Imaginate]] during the scene involving Lady Macbeth's SanitySlippage. |
| 247 | -->'''Peanut''' (as a doctor)''':''' We might have a case of acute craziness.\ |
| 248 | '''Grape''' (as Lady Macbeth)''':''' (''holds a placard referring to herself as a screwball'')\ |
| 249 | '''Peanut:''' The washing of hands while sleepwalking indicates profound guilt. Not surprising, considering '''[[ActorAllusion how much embarrassing fanfiction she tends to write]]'''.\ |

| 268 | From HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: |
| 269 | * ''Series/MrBean'', upon being specifically asked what his first name is, he simply replies "mister". This is later subverted in ''Film/MrBeansHoliday'', where it shows on his passport that his first name is actually "Rowan", changing it into an ActorAllusion to Mr. Bean's real-life actor, Creator/RowanAtkinson. |
| 270 | |
| 271 | '''Pothole. Literal allusion to the actor, not another role.''' |
| 272 | |
| 273 | |
| 274 | From WalkingShirtlessScene: |
| 275 | * Holbrooke (Creator/MarkWahlberg) in ''Film/DateNight''. Might be an ActorAllusion, as in his rapper days, Mark Wahlberg often performed shirtless and appeared in Calvin Klein ads. Also [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in-movie by Steve Carrell, who pleads with Holbrooke to help save his wife, concluding [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking "and will you, for the love of God, ''put on a shirt?!''"]] It's later revealed that his girlfriend is wearing his shirt. |

| 277 | '''Pothole. Literal allusion to the actor, but not exactly misuse either.''' |

| 280 | * OverlyLongName: In "Oil", the leader of the band Rick hires to play a concert says his name is Alexei Yuri Gagarin Siege of Stalingrad Glorious Five-Year Plan Sputnik Pravda Moscow Dynamo Back Four Balowski. It seems his dad was "a bit of a Communist". |

| 284 | |
| 285 | |
| 286 | From ''Film.TheAdventuresOfFordFairlane'': |
| 287 | * ActorAllusion: One of the lines from Ford Fairlane's narration says "I could have been a rock star, if only I wasn't banned from MTV." Creator/AndrewDiceClay was reportedly "banned for life" from MTV following his appearance at the 1989 [=VMAs=] due to performing his foul-mouthed routine at the event. (He would eventually appear again after this film was released three years later, in a sketch at the 1992 [=VMAs=].) |

| 318 | * ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'' had a demon character named Kira who could see the future, '''[[ActorAllusion played by]]''' Creator/CharismaCarpenter. Carpenter played Cordelia on ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and ''Series/{{Angel}}'', who gained the ability to see when people were or would be in trouble. |

| 326 | |
| 327 | |
| 328 | From ''Film.OneGotFat'': |
| 329 | * CozyVoiceForCatastrophes: Horton's narration is always cheerful, even while the kids are being injured or possibly killed; it's probably an ActorAllusion to his ''[[WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle Fractured Faily Tales]]'' narration. |
| 330 | |
| 331 | '''Pothole. Example sounds speculative ("''probably'' an ActorAllusion") and I think it's too indirect/general a reference to count.''' |

| 333 | |
| 334 | From ''Film.RobinHood2010'': |
| 335 | * ActorAllusion: Creator/MaxVonSydow as a [[Film/TheSeventhSeal bitter old crusader knight]], huh? |

| 337 | '''Low-context example, as is could make more sense under CastingGag.''' |
| 338 | |
| 339 | |
| 340 | From ''Film.TheSpyWhoLovedMe'': |
| 341 | * ActorAllusion: Creator/CurdJurgens, who plays Stromberg, starred as the U-Boot captain in ''Film/TheEnemyBelow'', one of the most famous [[SubStory movies involving submarine warfare]]. |
| 342 | |

| 344 | |
| 345 | |
| 346 | Recap.DoctorWhoS14E6TheTalonsOfWengChiang |
| 347 | * ActorAllusion: This is not the first time that Creator/TomBaker faced a homunculus. In ''Film/TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad'', his character, Koura, is the villain that creates the homunculus to further his evil schemes and become all powerful. |
| 348 | |

| 535 | * ActorAllusion: Several of the AdaptationalVillainy traits given to the Phantom in this version make him feel more like Englund's [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]]. This version of Erik made a DealWithTheDevil to have his music live forever; ''Film/FreddysDeadTheFinalNightmare'' revealed that Freddy made a similar deal with a trio of Dream Demons in order to continue killing kids in their dreams. Erik's face has been horribly disfigured as a result from the aforementioned deal to the point that [[spoiler:when Christine confronts him in the present]], it's been rendered completely black; part of Freddy's iconic appearance involves his burned face as a result of the parents of his victims killing him in his origin story.

Greta attempts to take him down with a swift kick [[ShesGotLegs from her long legs]], which doesn't even faze him. Panzer then responds by knocking her out with one punch.

| 580 | [[folder:Miscellaneous: 4]] |
| 581 | From: BeamMeUpScotty.RealLife: |
| 582 | * "Not a lot of people know that" or "not many people know that" is a line frequently attributed to Creator/MichaelCaine, but actually originates from a Creator/PeterSellers impression of him on ''Parkinson'': |
| 583 | -->"Not many people know that." This is my Michael Caine impression. You see, Mike's always quoting from the ''Guinness Book of Records''. At the drop of a hat he'll trot one out. "Did you know that it takes a man in a tweed suit five and a half seconds to fall from the top of Big Ben to the ground? Now there's not many people who know that!" |
| 584 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raFycoDdIs0 According to Caine]], also on ''Parkinson'', Sellers also used his Caine impression, and "Not many people know that" as his answerphone message, "So everyone who phoned him heard me saying 'not many people know that'!" |
| 585 | ** Caine did, however, say "Not many people know that" in ''Theatre/EducatingRita'', but that was an '''[[ActorAllusion in-joke]]''' because everyone ''thought'' he said it. |

| 591 | * ActorAllusion: |
| 592 | ** In his introductory episode, Wreck-Gar says that he [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMhwddNQSWQ dares to be stupid]]. Also doubles as a MythologyGag to the original movie. |
| 593 | ** In "Human Error, Part II" he pulls out an accordion, an instrument favored by Al. Sadly, Laserbeak destroys it. |
| 594 | |
| 595 | '''Music/WeirdAlYankovic is listed as one of the character's {{VAs}}, so it's a literal allusion to the actor. However, since it's his music and not just his life, I think it could count with more context. It's under "Miscellaneous" because it's borderline for multiple reasons.''' |
| 596 | |
| 597 | |
| 598 | From WesternAnimation.HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw (2nd of 2 examples from the page): |

| 601 | --> '''Random Employee:''' ''"[[Creator/StephenColbert Stephen's]] back!"'' |
| 602 | ** [[FreezeFrameBonus A well timed pause]] will reveal a bus with an ad for ''Series/TheColbertReport'' [[spoiler:running over Phil]]. |

| 606 | ----> '''Harvey:''' So... you're leaving us? |

| 608 | ----> ''(Stephen Colbert himself can be seen in the elevator on the ride down, amongst Phil's luggage.)'' |
| 609 | ** Alluded to on Colbert's show as well, after pointing out that presidential candidate Mitt Romney had a nervous "ha ha" laugh that sounded similar to Sebben's. He even held up a copy of the DVD, and did the laugh live. |
