Line 14:
* ''Wizard Magazine'' had a regular column about what actors should play what roles in comic book movies.
* In-universe example: At one point in ''[[The Ultimates]]''. they sit around while being transported via cargo plane talking about who would play them in the movie of their lives. Naturally, [[Nick Fury]] says [[Samuel L. Jackson]] (on whom Ultimate Nick Fury was based).
* During the late 1980s, ''[[X-Men]]'' writer/creator [[Chris Claremont]] was a regular on [[Compuserve]]'s Comic Books Special Interest Group (CIS's version of a discussion board). At one point he posted his "dream cast" for an ''X-Men'' movie, which included such notables as [[Bob Hoskins]] (''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?|Bob Hoskins]]'') as Wolverine and then-teenager [[Diane Lane]] as Kitty Pryde.
 
== [[Fan Works]]/[[Web Original]] ==
* Common in virtual series, such as ''[[The Nyazian Prophecies]]'', ''[http://gypsypro.net/shows/creed/cast.php Creed]'',{{Dead link}}'', ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131207103451/http://www.thewatcherscouncil.net/backstory.html Watchers]'' and most shows at [[MZP]].
* ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6906423/1/iCarlys_Father iCarly's Father]'' and its sequels, a ''[[Nick Verse]]'' fanfic series which is mainly a crossover between ''[[iCarly]]'' and ''[[Victorious]]'', has the hypothetical casting of [Joe Flanigan (''[Stargate Atlantis|Joe Flanigan]]'') as the adult Steven Shay, and [[Ariana Grande]] with her natural brunette hair colour as Taylor Dorfman in flashbacks set during her and Col Shay's romance during high school. The hypothetical resemblance between Taylor and Cat Valentine (Ariana's redhaired character on ''[[Victorious]]'') is brought up when Steven meets Cat for the first time.
* Oh so common in ''[[Pretty Cure]]'' fanfics. A good portion of these have [[Emma Watson]] thrown in somewhere.
 
Line 24:
* During the end credits of ''[[Cradle 2 the Grave]]'', two of the comic-relief sidekicks have a conversation about who would play them if somebody made a movie of what just happened.
 
== [[Live -Action TV]] ==
* [[Miranda Cosgrove]] from ''[[iCarly]]'' wants [[Tina Fey]] to be Carly's [[Missing Mom]].
* In-universe example: In one episode of ''[[Castle]]'', the characters talk about what actors they want to be played by in the movie version of Castle's book.
Line 49:
** A 2005 [https://web.archive.org/web/20190928034434/https://ew.com/article/2005/07/22/characters-half-blood-prince/ ''Entertainment Weekly'' article] speculated on who should play characters in the then upcoming ''Potter'' films. Helena Bonham-Carter was suggsted... for the part of Merope Gaunt.
 
== [[Tabletop RPGGames]] ==
* The ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' tabletop RPG made a lot of hay out of the televised nature of its inspiration; the GM position is called 'The Director', and individual adventures are called 'Episodes' and meant to be part of a larger 'Season'. To top it all off, the rulebook encouraged players to identify the actor who would play their character if the game they were in was actually a TV show.
