When a TV show gives a fictional character billing in the credits as himself. Frequently done as a joke or to give additional verisimilitude to a "based on a(n) (un)true story", although it can also be used to hide a spoilerific cast change. Another reason this is done is if the "character" in question is an inanimate object, animal, or otherwise not actually played by an actor, or if the media is targeted towards children and the specific character is a mascot popular with children credited as playing themselves to maintain the illusion to the youngsters that the character is a real person. Please note the distinction between this and As Himself. This trope is when a fictional character is credited as himself; As Himself is when a real person is credited as himself. Compare Not Named in Opening Credits and Animated Actors. |

In The Cult of Scratchwood and its prequel series The Adventures of Matt & Derek, Derek the Dalek is credited in the Doctor Who-style opening where the name of the actor playing the Doctor's companion would appear in a real intro. (In the end credits however, his voice credit properly goes to Matthew Alden-Farrow.) | |

The Adventures of Pete & Pete opening montage has clips of each character, with the character's names going where the actors' usually go. (The actors are put in the end credits, though.) The metal plate in Ms. Wrigley's head and Little Pete's tattoo Petunia are played by themselves, to the point where cast biographies on a website make passing reference to the fact that "Mom's Plate" has yet to appear in any other films or TV series. | |

Haruhi Suzumiya is credited as the director of the Haruhi Suzumiya anime. And not just director, but Ultra Director, as in her Show Within a Show. The series composition of the anime is also credited to "Haruhi and her friends"; in "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya VI", that credit shows right before Kyon wonders if Haruhi "wrote this scenario". Also, the anime's copyright somehow belongs to Nagaru Tanigawa, Noizi Ito (the author and illustrator of the original light novels, respectively) and the SOS Brigade (or in the English dub, "a member of SOS"). | |

In the final cinematic before the actual credits of Final Fantasy VI, the characters are credited by the name you gave them, and then their full, official name, before a short cut-scene with them. If you kept the originally suggested names, this gives you stuff like "Cyan as Cyan Garamonde", or "Mog as Mog". | |

An early episode of M*A*S*H, "Captain Tuttle," featured Hawkeye and Trapper inventing an officer so they could get out of Officer-Of-the-Day duty. They managed to convince everyone in camp that Captain Tuttle really existed, even though no such person existed...and in the ending credits, Captain Tuttle was credited as playing himself. This particular story may have been influenced by the fact that Kerry Thornley (who would eventually go on to create Discordianism) did something similar as a US Marine - creating a fictional private, Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst, which started as a joke and became a somewhat surreal example of how perception can shape reality. No word, however, on whether or not Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst ever starred as himself - though Kerry Thornley spent most of the rest of his life starring as Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst. |

S1m0ne went one step further, giving the eponymous computerised actress the starring role in the credits "And introducing Simone as herself". Interestingly, this PR move gave Rachel Roberts (who actually did play Simone) the world record for "most screentime by an uncredited actor/actress". The home media releases change the credits to list Roberts as playing the character. | |

Star Wars Rebels: Chopper, the Ghost crew's irascible astromech droid, is credited like this. He was the first astromech droid in any canon Star Wars media to be given such an honour. Then again, he was defictionalized later on, so the trope seems to be more literal. Ultimately averted, however. Per the Grand Finale, "Family Reunion — and Farewell", Chopper was actually voiced by Dave Filoni. In the final season, the white Lothwolf is credited for portraying "himself". And the Dume Wolf (who may-or-may-not be Kanan's ghost) from "DUME" is credited as being voiced by "the Force". |

The video game Left 4 Dead, which portrays its campaigns as horror movies, features movie posters and end credits which show the names of the four characters and their "actors" (being the players controlling them). When they're controlled by the CPU, they're credited as being played by themselves. | |

Done almost universally in promotions for works starring The Muppets. While the actual credits do list the performers by name, pretty much everything from press solicitations to interviews to DVD extras will present the Muppets as real actors. | |
