Taking the Real Person Cameo one step farther...
It's not all that uncommon for movies and television shows to be made about real people, or for characters to be named for real people. In such cases, the real people so honored will occasionally have bit parts in those works. And sometimes, the film makers decide to have a little fun, and name the bit part after the actor or actress playing the real person.
It's more common than you might think.
Contrast Autobiographical Role.
