It's become common in remakes (or "reimaginings") of classic films and TV shows to placate hesitant and suspicious fans, who aren't sure whether the remake is going to stink from the head like yesterday's fish or do the original justice, by having one of the stars of the original stunt-cast in a cameo (or perhaps even a supporting role) as a nod to the source material. Sometimes this is done just to give the new project some legitimacy by implying that the remake has the approval of the original cast. Other times, the creator of the remake is actually a fan of the original and casts the cameo as a tribute. This has almost become standard operating procedure in Hollywood. Not to be mistaken for flashback storytelling, where one of the original actors is cast as the "old" version of a character, and someone new is cast as the "young" version of the same character. If it's not a remake, but a based-on-a-real-story dramatization, it's a Real-Person Cameo. See also The Cameo, Casting Gag, and Mythology Gag. Generally a supertrope to the Predecessor Casting Gag. Compare to: I Want You to Meet an Old Friend of Mine, Actor Allusion, and Continuity Cameo. |

Pokémon Detective Pikachu: The title character is voiced by Pikachu's voice actress Ikue Otani when speaking to characters other than Tim Goodman. The Jigglypuff that appears in the Hi-Hat Café uses the voice of an uncredited Rachael Lillis, who was the character's first dub voice in the anime. The way she's dismayed at a customer falling asleep on her song and the marker/microphone in her hand may imply they're the same character. The Brazilian dub has a small role for the original Ash Ketchum. |

The Super Mario Bros. Movie: Charles Martinet, who usually voices Mario, Luigi, and most of the named male Super Mario characters in the video games, appears in the film as several cameo characters. These include Giuseppe, a "Punch-Out Pizzaria" customer who claims that the Mario Brothers' accents are perfectly fine, as well as Mario and Luigi's father. The Latin Spanish dub chose the voices for the Mario family members based on their previous appearances in productions related to the franchise. These include VÃctor Delgado and José Antonio MacÃas (who voiced Mario and Luigi in the 1993 movie) as the Mario brothers' father (who primarily resembles Mario) and Uncle Arthur (who has a strong resemblance to Luigi instead) respectively, MarÃa Fernanda Morales (voice of Peach in the 1989 animated series) as their aunt, and Jorge Roig Sr. (dubbing director of both the 1989 and 1990 animated series, plus providing some additional voices in the former) as their grandfather. |

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle had a cameo by Jaclyn Smith, playing her original role of [former] Angel Kelly Garrett. In fact, all three original Angels were asked to appear in Charlie's Angels (2000), but declined. Reportedly, Farrah Fawcett said she'd only do it if she were allowed to be the voice of Charlie, and Kate Jackson insisted on playing the role of Vivian Wood that eventually went to Kelly Lynch. Cheryl Ladd was up for a cameo, but the producers only wanted the original three. Jaclyn Smith also makes another one in the Charlie's Angels (2019) stinger in which Kelly is now the head of Townshend Detective Agency. |

Although more than half a dozen actors from La Femme Nikita go on to show up in Nikita, most of them are not examples of this trope, and instead reappear because both series filmed in Canada and drew from the same pool of actors for their secondary and tertiary characters—i.e., Only So Many Canadian Actors. The one exception to this is Alberta Watson, who played the character of Madeline for most of LFN, and who then goes on to make multiple appearances in the reboot, as a different character also named Madeline. A borderline case occurs with Harris Yulin, whose one-episode appearance in LFN wouldn't qualify him for this trope, except that appearance had him interact chiefly with Watson: in Nikita, both actors are introduced together, as part of the same group, making his casting an Actor Allusion if nothing else. | |

When the 1996 Made-for-TV Movie Mother, May I Sleep With Danger? was remade in 2016 on the Lifetime network, they got Tori Spelling and Ivan Sergei, who played the protagonist and the Fetishized Abuser in the original, to return, this time playing the mother of the protagonist and a college professor who delivers a Chekhov's Lecture about vampire fiction (the remake having added a Lesbian Vampire twist). The remake of Death Of A Cheerleader followed suit, with Kellie Martin playing an FBI agent after playing the killer in the original. |

Annie: In the 1999 made-for-TV adaptation of Annie, Andrea McArdle, the star of the original Broadway play, has a cameo as a theatrical ingenue during a musical number. Taylor Richardson, who had played Annie in the musical's 2013 Broadway revival following Lilla Crawford, plays the red-haired Annie at the beginning of the 2014 remake. Doubles as a Casting Gag. |

Planet of the Apes (2001): Charlton Heston makes a cameo...as an ape! His character is filled with allusions to both himself and the original character — his last words are "DAMN THEM! Damn them all to...", and he gives a huge speech about how powerful the human invention of "guns" was. This ended up being one of his final film appearances. Linda Harrison, who played Nova, appears as a prisoner of the apes. |

Supergirl (2015) makes repeated use of this, in some cases with actors who also appeared on Smallville after appearing in earlier Superman-mythos works. Helen Slater and Dean Cain play Eliza and Jeremiah Danvers, Kara Danvers's adoptive mother and father, respectively. Slater had played Kara in the film. Cain played Superman in Lois & Clark. Laura Vandervoort, who plays the Smallville version of Kara, plays major villain Indigo in the series. Lynda Carter, TV's Wonder Woman, recurred in Season 2 as Olivia Marsdin, President of the United States who is really an alien. Teri Hatcher, Lois Lane in Lois & Clark, portrays Canon Foreigner Rhea, Queen of Daxam and mother of Mon-El, who serves as the main antagonist for the second half of Season 2. Erica Durance, who played Lois Lane in Smallville, takes over the role of Kara's biological mother Allura from Laura Benanti in Season 3. Carl Lumbly, who voiced J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter, on Justice League and Static Shock, and later reprised the role in the film Justice League: Doom and the game Injustice: Gods Among Us, joins Supergirl in Season 3 as J'onn's father, Myr’nn. Sarah Douglas, who played Ursa in Superman II, plays the Kryptonian priestess Jindah Kol Razz. Jon Cryer, who played Lex Luthor's nephew, Lenny Luthor, in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, portrays Lex Luthor himself starting from Season 4. |

Star Trek (2009) (which is more of an Alternate Continuity than a strict reboot) featured Majel Barrett Roddenberry as, yet again, the voice of the Enterprise's computer. Wil Wheaton voices all the additional Romulan crew, the others just have his voice altered digitally. After 18 years of retiring the character, Leonard Nimoy reprises the original Spock in a major role. Originally, the producers considered having William Shatner involved in the production somehow (including a scene where Spock gave Kirk a recording of him from the prime timeline), but negotiations fell through since he supposedly pushed to make the movie canonize his Shatnerverse novels as he wanted a major role and not a cameo. |

The tied-up villainess in question is voiced by Rita Moreno, who provided Carmen's voice in the '90s animated series.

James Bond: An urban legend, never officially confirmed by anybody involved, claims that Die Another Day was originally going to end with Pierce Brosnan meeting Sean Connery, who would tell Brosnan "so you're the sex-crazed maniac running around the world pretending to be me!", and that an Executive Veto put the kibosh on that. This would've confirmed a long-held fan theory arguing that "James Bond" isn't one person, but a codename used by several different MI6 agents over the years, explaining the regular recasting of the part. Though ultimately averted, Connery was considered being approached to appear in Skyfall as Bond's elderly gamekeeper. It was deemed too distracting, plus Connery had retired from acting by this time; the role instead went to Albert Finney. Several newspaper gossip columns reported, erroneously, that The World Is Not Enough was to feature cameos by every living Bond Girl actress, from Ursula Andress on down. As with the Connery cameo mentioned above, there is no indication any such scenes were contemplated, never mind shot. |

Annette O'Toole played Lana Lang in Superman III and Martha Kent in Smallville. This casting turned out to be a random fluke. The crew didn't even know at first, being surprised at just how much she knew about the mythology. They were apparently gob-smacked when she told them. Terence Stamp, who played General Zod in Superman II, was cast as Jor-El and had a cameo as Zod. Margot Kidder, who played Lois Lane in the films, played Virgil Swann's assistant (and would-be love interest). Dean Cain (Lois & Clark's Clark/Superman) appeared as what may have been the series' version of Vandal Savage. Helen Slater (who played the title role in Supergirl (1984)) appears as Lara, Clark's biological mother. Marc McClure, who played Jimmy Olsen in the films, appears as Brainiac's creator Dax-Ur in season 7. Teri Hatcher (Lois Lane in Lois & Clark) played Lois' mother Ella Lane in one episode, continuing a tradition of live-action Superman adaptations casting previous Lois actresses to play Lois's mother. Teri Hatcher's appearance is unusual for this trope: when shown, it is on a past recording, as Lois's mother is long dead by this point, and Teri Hatcher appears as she is now, and as the L&C version might appear today. Lynda Carter, best known as TV's Wonder Woman (1975), appears as Moira Sullivan, Chloe's mother, in one episode. A few seasons later, Chloe is mentioned to have met the Smallville universe's Wonder Woman. |

Batman Adam West guest-starred in an episode of Batman: The Animated Series as Simon Trent, a washed-up actor who had originally starred in a TV series as "The Grey Ghost" and inspired Bruce Wayne to become a Super Hero. The Batman had West play by a Gender Flipped version of Gotham's mayor, Marion Grange. And the Latin American dub of The Batman had the mayor voiced by the man who voiced Batman in Batman: The Animated Series (Frank Maneiro). The Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode "The Chill of the Night" had Adam West and Julie Newmar as Thomas and Martha Wayne. West later voiced Proto in the episode "The Plague of the Prototypes". |

Speaking of Batman, Kevin Conroy did the voice of John Grayson in The Batman, with Mark Hamill as Tony Zucco. Then later, in Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill voiced The Phantom Stranger and The Spectre, respectively, in the aforementioned "The Chill of the Night". In addition, the episode "The Super-Batman of Planet X" had Zur-En-Aarh's Batman voiced by Kevin Conroy, with his Superman-like reporter love interest and mad scientist archenemy voiced by Dana Delany and Clancy Brown, the respective voices of Lois Lane and Lex Luthor from Superman: The Animated Series. The Brave and the Bold also has several other examples.

Near the end, Amy Jo Johnson and Jason David Frank, the original pink and green Power Rangers, appear among the crowd taking pictures of the Megazord with their smartphones. The director for the Brazilian dub made sure to give small roles for the voice actors for the original Rangers except Zack, plus Rita, as an Easter Egg.

Les Misérables (2012), the film version of the musical, features a lot of them. Colm Wilkinson, the original Valjean, returns as the Bishop who sets Valjean on the path to redemption. The casting choice lends the moment when he gives Valjean the candlesticks an extra layer of meaning through Passing the Torch. Frances Ruffelle (The original Eponine) plays one of the prostitutes who appears during "Lovely Ladies". Hadley Fraser (who has played Marius, Javert, and, most prominently, Grantaire in various stage productions) appears as the commander of the National Guard. Katie Hall and Gina Beck (both former Cosettes) appear as street cleaners in "Turning". Katy Secombe (a serial Mme.

Barry Williams (Greg) plays a record exec who turns Greg down, Christopher Knight (Peter) plays a high school coach who stops two boys from bullying Peter, Ann B. Davis (Alice) plays a truck driver, and Florence Henderson (Carol) plays the Brady kids' grandmother. Additionally, Davis’ character is named Shultzie, in reference to her earlier role in The Bob Cummings Show. It is strongly implied that this is intended to be the same character, decades later. |

Man of Steel: Similar to Annette O'Toole's role in Smallville, Amy Adams, who plays Lois Lane in this movie, had a role as a Monster of the Week in that very series. Aaron Smolinski, who played the baby Clark Kent in Superman: The Movie and then a boy in a photo booth in Superman III, played a communications officer in this movie. |

Bernie Kopell, who played enemy agent Siegfried in the original Get Smart TV series, had a cameo appearance in the film version starring Steve Carell. They even got him to use his "Siegfried" accent. (But he gets wanged by a car, so Smart swipes his vehicle for transport.) Kopell's scene also features the Sunbeam Tiger and the Opel GT from the original. (The Karmann Ghia shows up with the Tiger in the earlier museum scene, alongside props like the shoe phone and the portable Cone of Silence.) |

While not voiced by him, a character in the RPG video game based on Game of Thrones looks exactly like George R.R. Martin. He is even writing a history of Westeros from the viewpoint of several people from different houses so it looks like he doesn't favor any house over another. The character has already written five volumes of the seven-volume series and is asked when the next one will be released. He responds "I told you next year". This is met with "He says that every year." | |

Most of the TV cast of Lost in Space cameoed in The Movie. Dick Tufeld reprised his role as The Robot's voice. Mark Goddard played the General who gives Major West his orders for the mission. June Lockhart played the principal of Will Robinson's school. Angela Cartwright and Marta Kristen appear as reporters. Jonathan Harris and Bill Mumy were offered cameos, but declined (Harris because he wanted a bigger role, Mumy because of his commitments to Babylon 5 and because the director thought it would be too distracting from the plot to have the original Will play the older Will). It's blatantly obvious the roles of Dr. Smith's spymaster and Future!Will were originally written for them. |

Probably a coincidence, but Howard Lew Lewis, who played Rabies in Maid Marian and Her Merry Men, pops up as a peasant in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Sean Connery, who was Robin Hood in Robin and Marian, played King Richard in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

Transformers: Animated occasionally shows Spike, Carly, and Daniel from the Movie- and Post-Movie Generation 1. Meanwhile, Cybertron crowd scenes are full of toy-only and Japan-only characters from the interregnum between G1 and Beast Wars. Imagine if you will, a massive giant aptly named Grandus, reinterpreted as a sumo wrestler, terrified of the supposedly yucky, germ-filled human sidekick who'd wound up on Cybertron alongside Ratchet. Of course, it's worth noting that Spike was also voiced by his G1 voice actor, as was Shockwave... who were the same guy anyway. He also reprised the role of Brawn... for a single grunt. Additionally, Judd Nelson returned to voice Rodimus Prime. Animated Wreck-Gar was voiced by "Weird Al" Yankovic, who didn't voice Wreck-Gar in G1, his song "Dare to be Stupid" (which he quotes) was played over the big scene on Planet Junkion where the Autobots meet the Junkions. They'd originally wanted to get Eric Idle, the original voice of Wreck-Gar, for the role, but he was unavailable due to being in Spamalot. Peter Cullen, the original voice of Optimus Prime, did voiceovers for commercials on the show's series premiere. |

Karen Dotrice, the actress who played Jane in the original Mary Poppins, has a cameo in Mary Poppins Returns as a woman who asks for directions. When given them, she responds "Many thanks, sincerely," which is a reference to a song she sang in the original movie. Dick Van Dyke, who played Bert and Mr. Dawes Sr. in the original film, plays a minor role a now elderly Mr. Dawes Jr. in this film. Subverted with Julie Andrews. They asked for her to make a cameo but she declined, not wanting to take the focus away from Emily Blunt's performance as the titular role. |

Transformers (2007) has a non-actor version of this: In the car lot where Sam Witwicky goes to buy his car, next to Bumblebee is a yellow VW Beetle, Bumblebee's Alt Mode from The Transformers. This doubles as a Fandom Nod since the producers wanted to use the New Beetle as Bumblebee's alt mode in the film, but VW denied permission (they didn't want the vehicle being used as a weapon). | |

Shaft (2000) includes a cameo from Richard Roundtree in a scene with Samuel L. Jackson. Unusually for this trope, he reprises his role from the original film; Jackson was unwilling to play the character, which led to the idea of the new Shaft being the original Shaft's nephew. Appropriately enough, the scene takes place just after the younger Shaft quits the police force and follows in his uncle's footsteps as a private investigator. Gordon Parks, filmmaker of the orginal, also has cameos in both versions. Roundtree would again return in a slightly larger role alongside Jackson in Shaft (2019), again playing the original Shaft. | |
