Line 18:
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* In ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' the actress who plays Jenny, the Tenth Doctor's daughter, is the daughter of [[Peter Davison]], the Fifth Doctor.
<!-- %%% -->
<!-- %% Anything more relationship-wise comes from AFTER the episode was recorded and transmitted and isn't an example. -->
Line 49:
** Michael, Peter and Dom DeLuise also appear as siblings and father respectively for David's character in an episode of ''[[3rd Rock From the Sun|3rd Rock from the Sun]]''.
* Gratuitous example: Tea Leoni (Mrs Duchovny) and Garry Shandling appearing in ''[[The X Files]]'' as themselves playing Mulder and Scully in a movie.
* in ''[[Eight8 Simple Rules]]'', Cate Hennessey (played by Katey Sagal) encountered an old boyfriend named Matt...who is played by Ed O'Neill, aka [[Married With Children|Al Bundy]].
* Tom Wopat appeared as an old friend of John Schneider's Jonathan Kent character on ''[[Smallville]]''. Both actors starred on ''[[The Dukes of Hazzard]]''.
** A double helping happened on the same show, when Margot Kidder showed up, playing a colleague of Christopher Reeve's character. They were never in the same episode, but still...
Line 59:
* In the Pamela Anderson sitcom ''Stacked'', Pam's character gets visits from old friends played by Carmen Electra (Anderson's co-star in ''[[Baywatch]]'') and Jenny McCarthy (who appeared with Anderson in ''Scary Movie 2''). All three have also been [[Playboy]] Playmates.
** Carmen Electra was never actually a Playmate, she just posed for the magazine. Several times.
* In the S1 finale of the (surprisingly watchable) Courteney Cox Arquette vehicle ''[[Di RT]]'', Jennifer Aniston turns up as a rival tabloid editor. [[Girl -On -Girl Is Hot|They actually kiss]], [[Distracted By the Sexy|in front of some people at the newsdesk]]
* Almost subverted in ''[[Babylon 5 (TV)|Babylon 5]]''. When June Lockhart made a guest appearance, J. Michael Straczynski refused to write a scene in which her character meets Lennier, played by her [[Lost in Space]] co-star Bill Mumy, as there was no logical reason for the two to meet except for such a joke. However, Mumy himself wanted to do an in-joke about it, and so without permission he snuck into one of her scenes out of his alien makeup as an extra and gave a quick smile to her.
* In an episode of ''[[Coach]]'', Luther (played by Jerry van Dyke) learns that he was adopted and ends up attending a reunion of his birth family. As he enters he complains to Hayden that there's no way he could be related to any of these people. An unnamed character (played by [[Dick Van Dyke]]) chooses that moment to walk conspicuously across the set.
* Adrian Edmondson could have been cast in ''Blackadder Goes Forth'' for the sole reason of appearing against Rik Mayall, his long-time work partner. In their double-act most of the constant violence (and occasional gay jokes) are directed at Mayall, so it seems too much of a co-incidence that {{spoiler|Mayall's Flashheart immediately shoots Edmondon's Red Baron}} and loudly proclaims "What a '''poof!'''"
Line 103:
 
== Theater ==
* [[Catherine Tate]] and [[David Tennant]] of ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' fame were reunited for an onstage production of [[William Shakespeare]]'s ''[[Much Ado About Nothing]]''. They are both prominently featured in its advertising.
** The [[Joss Whedon]] modern-dress film of ''[[Much Ado About Nothing]]'' is [[Production Posse|stacked to the gills with alumni from]] [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|various]] [[Angel|Whedon]] [[Dollhouse|shows]] [[The Avengers (Film)|and movies]].
