Line 233:
* John Ritter as John Hartman and Billy Bob Thornton as Billy Bob Davis in ''[[Hearts Afire]]''.
* ''[[Cheers]]''
** Woody Harrelson as Woody Boyd looks like this, but it's a coincidence: the character was named Woody before Harrelson was cast.▼
** Harry Anderson as "Harry the Hat". Anderson had used "Harry the Hat" as a stage name for years before appearing on TV, when he was a [[Stage Magician]] and real-life con man, making it in some ways even ''more'' of a Danza than usual). Anderson also played Judge Harry Stone on [[Night Court]].
* Speaking of ''[[Night Court]]''...
** Selma Diamond as Bailiff Selma Hacker and her replacement Bailiff Florence Kleiner played by Florence Halop.
** Charles Robinson shares the same last name as his character Mac Robinson.
** One could also argue Yakov Smirnoff as Yakov Korplenko.
* [[Miley Cyrus]] as Miley Stewart in ''[[Hannah Montana]]''—this also counts as [[Alter Ego Acting]] because Miley performed as Hannah onstage in real life too. More so since she legally changed her name to "Miley" from her birth name of "Destiny Hope Cyrus". ("Smiley Miley" was a nickname her father gave her as an infant.) The character was originally named ''Chloe Stewart''. [[Word of God]] says the writers changed it to "Miley" as there were too many names for a then-12-year-old to remember.▼

* Nick, Joe, and Kevin Jonas play alternate universe versions of themselves on ''[[Jonas]]'', which includes keeping their real names.
* Both Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell as Kenan Rockmore and Kel Kimble, respectively, in ''[[Kenan and Kel]]''.
