Line 7:
An [[Actor Allusion]] is a joke or reference which is specific to one of the actors in a show. It can be a little blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, such as Mary Albright (Jane Curtin) spotting some people in [[Saturday Night Live|Conehead]] costumes at a sci-fi convention in ''[[3rd Rock From the Sun]]'', or it can be bigger and more blatant, such as when John Lithgow repeated his entire anti-music rant from ''[[Footloose]]'' in the same show.
Related to the [[Shout
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, It's That Guy!]] and [[Hey, It's That Voice!]].
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.
