Not An Example:

• Sharon Rice-Weber (the wife of noted novelist David Weber) gave her permission to be included in The Institute Saga. Her character shows up on the bridge that Magneto relocates and is the one who takes Magneto down.

Moved, not entirely confidently, to As Himself, because that's where Neil Gaiman's cameo in The Severed Streets is, and it feels like the same deal.

Not An Example

• In 'Quantum Leap', John Boyd West plays his father, Red West.
• Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson played his father on one episode of That Seventies Show.
• In Stargate SG 1, O'Neill meets with the US Air Force's one and only General Ryan.
• Bob Bellveau, one of the real "first sixteen", Los Angeles County paramedics, appeared a few times as himself in Emergency! episodes.

The last two are As Himself, the first two are an unusual version of Identical Grandson.

Not An Example:

• A thinly-disguised version of Harlan Ellison was central to an early-1970s Justice League story entitled "The Dangerous Dreams of Harle Ellis".
• A little girl called Nastia performs a bar routine in Stick It. She is, of course, Nastia Liukin, who medaled on bars in the Olympics two years later.
• Max Keebles Big Move has Tony Hawk and Lil Romeo.
• Cars has Bob Cutlass, Darrell Cartrip, Dale Earndhart, Jr., and Jay Limo, while Cars 2 has Brent Mustangberger, David Hobbscap, Jeff Gorvette, and Lewis Hamilton.

Not at all sure about the Batwoman one either; might it be better at As Himself?
