Line 4:
Sometimes it's a compromise, for when the [[Executive Meddling|studio heads wanted big stars playing the main characters]]. This can also work for documentaries with the casting of the narrator.
 
Compare [[Non-Actor Vehicle]], [[One-Scene Wonder]]. If not done carefully, then may result in viewers crying [[What the Hell, Casting Agency?]]. See also [[Billing Displacement]]. If the Stunt Casting features the celebrity [[As Himself]], that's [[Special Guest]]. If the '''Stunt Casting''' is done in service of a film or other one-off project, expect the big-name actor in question to be [[Billed Above the Title]]. This happens so often in animation that it has its own trope: [[Celebrity Voice Actor]].
