I figure there has to be a name for this trope, but I can\'t find one. It\'s sort of related to the fourth-wall break, but not in the usual sense.
In Maverick, there\'s a scene in which Mel Gibson\'s character is in a bank when it is held up by a gang whose leader is played by Danny Glover, who famously co-starred with Gibson in the Lethal Weapon movies. The two exchange looks as if to say \

In the TV series NCIS, the character of Ducky is played by David McCallum, who years earlier portrayed Illya Kuryakin in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. In one NCIS episode, one of the other characters wonders aloud what Ducky looked like when he was younger - to which the character Gibbs, who has known Ducky for years, deadpans, \\\"Illya Kuryakin.\\\"
A third example occurs in the outtakes during the credits in Valentine\\\'s Day, when Julia Roberts\\\' character is asked if she\\\'s ever gone shopping on Rodeo Drive. \\\"I did once, actually. It was a big mistake. Huge,\\\" in an obvious reference to Pretty Woman.
More subtly, in the movie Hudson Hawk, Bruce Willis\\\' character is handcuffed by James Coburn\\\'s character using a pair of high-tech handcuffs that make a distinctive sound. The same sound was previously the ring tone in the then-futuristic mobile phone of the title character in Our Man Flint, played by Coburn.
So I guess the trope is a reference or allusion, ostensibly within the story line, to a different role played by (or, although none of my examples illustrates it, to the real life of) an actor.
