* ''Literature/MagpieMurders'' has an unusual MetaFiction example that borders on HypotheticalCasting. The fictional in-universe Poirot-inspired Holocaust survivor detective Atticus Pünd is supposed to look like Creator/BenKingsley playing Itzhak Stern in ''Film/SchindlersList'' and his creator Alan Conway nods at this by describing Pünd as looking more like an accountant than a detective. Conway was furious when the producers of a potential Pünd tv adaptation were unable to secure Kingsley.

* One category for rolling up characters for the obscure game ''M-Force'' invoked this. It was "who would play your character in the movie?"

* ''VideoGame/ObsCure'': The developers said that the appearance of the [[{{Delinquents}} pothead slacker]] Stan was based on Creator/JoshHartnett, who played a very similar character in ''Film/TheFaculty'', a film that served as a heavy inspiration for the game.

* ''Literature/AMemoirByLadyTrent'' indulges in this for the illustrations; for example, neither Lady Trent herself nor her best friend Tom Wilker are ever given much physical description in the text, but are drawn to resemble Creator/MaggieSmith and Creator/DomhnallGleeson respectively.

** Creator/LanceParkin has an acknowledged tendency toward fantasy-casting his characters; in particular, Creator/IanRichardson gets a lot of "roles" in Parkin novels, most obviously in the Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures novel ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoNewAdventuresTheDyingDays The Dying Days]]'', where scheming politician Lord Edward Greyhaven is quite close to his iconic role in ''Series/HouseOfCardsUK''. (Ironically, Parkin attempted to include a cameo by the 42nd Doctor [see Fanfic] in ''The Dying Days'', but it was cut. He does, however, appear in the ''Franchise/BerniceSummerfield'' NA ''Beige Planet Mars'').

** Cornell has also said he saw Franchise/BerniceSummerfield played by Creator/EmmaThompson (specifically, she's based on the character of Kate from ''Film/TheTallGuy''). This gets {{Lampshaded}} in ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoNewAdventuresTheDyingDays The Dying Days]]'', where she's mistaken for Thompson, and the short story "Digging Up the Past" by Mark Michalowski in ''The Dead Men Diaries'', in which she says she'd like to be played by a CGI Thompson in a docudrama.
