You work as a dustman or in a shoe shop for a while, you move on and everyone forgets about it. You work as an actor in a single role, and everyone refers to you as "an actor" for ever afterward.
Examples:
- Galaxy Quest is very largely composed of variations of, lampshades hung on, and aversions of this trope.
- Sunset Boulevard is a tragic variation, making it at least Older Than Radio.
- The banjo-playing boy in Deliverance is so described in "the other wiki".
- The various nonentities and Z-listers who attempt to cross over from Big Brother and related shows.
- Ann Marie in That Girl, far too obviously.
- This is a plot point in The Wrestler, both with Randy (Mickey Rourke) being hassled by a fan at his butcher job, and his former in-ring nemesis The Ayatollah owning a few car dealerships.
