Related to the [[Shout Out]], and is sometimes triggered by [[I Want You to Meet An Old Friend of Mine]] or a [[Casting Gag]]. But while a [[Casting Gag]] relies upon casting an actor in a role that reflects on their [[Real Life]] history, an [[Actor Allusion]] sets up a character or plot to reference ''a previous plot or role'' for the actor. If this role was on a previous version of the show, it's a [[Remake Cameo]].
Contrast with [[Celebrity Paradox]] and [[Meta Casting]] where the actor themselves is the subject of reference. If in animation, can be the result of [[Talking to Himself]]. This is show business' way of saying [[Hey
Before adding examples, bear in mind that if an actor is sufficiently versatile, almost any string of words could be taken as a reference to a role he or she has played; conversely, if an actor is sufficiently typecast, [[Shaped Like Itself|pretty much all his or her roles will be more or less the same]]. Try to be sure a reference is blatant, specific, or [[Word of God]] before committing yourself.
