Line 129:
* Rob Schneider is... [[South Park|a carrot!]]
* This one's an odd case... [[Elton John]] is best known for being a musician, and whenever he does do an occasional acting bit, he almost always plays himself. However, when he was talked into taking up a part in [[The Movie]] version of [[Tommy]], a [[Concept Album]] turned [[Rock Opera]] by [[The Who]], he ended up not playing himself, but rather a character called the Local Lad, also known as The Champ (though the character's often called the Pinball Wizard by mistake because of the song he sings). Even though it's not Elton, the character seems to oddly have his fashion sense and style (and there's even a keyboard built into his pinball machine), thus people seem to easily confuse the character for Elton himself, which has not happened to any of the other performers in that movie (save for the previously-mentioned [[Jack Nicholson]]). It also doesn't help that a lot of people don't know the character's real name since it was never really said by anyone...Or the fact that he got to keep the boots afterwards...
* [[Bill Murray]] has developed into this over the years. It's clear that he ''can'' play other characters besides "crazy old Bill Murray" if he still wants to (he managed it in ''Lost in Translation''), but he's apparently been [[Adam Westing]] so hard and for so long that any character he plays in most things just seems like Bill Murray wandered onto the set in a fit of eccentric whimsy and they kept filming.
