Non-Actor Vehicle	comment	Hiring a big celebrity to play a starring role (not a supporting or minor one), even if it's not the sole major role, in a movie, play, or TV show. Only, this celebrity isn't known for acting. In fact, this may be the celebrity's first acting job. A close cousin of Stunt Casting, only with a bit more risk, since the stunt castee doesn't have much experience (if any), and is practically carrying the project despite that inexperience. So why is it done, despite those risks? Well, the fact is that it sometimes works (it tends to work better for stand-up comedians, singers, and pro wrestlers, being close to what they normally do for a living anyway). Also, even if the vehicle is a failure, the new actor may still have a career afterwards. You are most likely to see I Am Not Leonard Nimoy play throughout the movie. If the work is about the celebrity in Real Life, it overlaps with Autobiographical Role. If the celebrity's role is doing what they're famous for, it overlaps with Cast the Expert.

Also featured in Straight to Hell was Joe Strummer, frontman for The Clash (and, for a time, the Pogues). Strummer actually appeared in several films, including a cameo (alongside Clash bandmate Mick Jones) in Martin Scorcese's The King of Comedy.

Non-Actor Vehicle / int_b55489e1	comment	The other was Merlin in 1983, based around the character from Arthurian Legend, but young and inexperienced. It also featured Chita Rivera as an evil sorceress and was the Broadway debut of Nathan Lane. It was a critical and commercial flop, notorious for having an exceptionally long preview period without officially opening, and while still charging full ticket prices (much like Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark did, years later).

He's had a successful acting career since then, to the point that he's not even credited as "The Rock" anymore.note Though this is more due to WWE trademarking their talents' ring names, which perhaps accounts for why some wrestlers use their real name as their in-ring name instead.

Notably, the film originally had spoken dialogue alongside its songs, but due to the lack of acting experience had by most of the cast it was taken out; in the final product, the only character that actually speaks is George Burns' Mr. Kite (who narrates the film).
