{{quote|''The movie makes a sly reference to a famous earlier role by Irons.

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
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]].
