About: Fake Guest Star   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

An actor who is, to all outward observation, a member of the regular cast, but who still receives guest billing. This usually has something to do their contract and whether or not it stipulates that they receive main cast billing (and possibly with how much they get paid), though in some cases it may be done as a gimmick to call attention to an actor whose reputation vastly exceeds that of the rest of the cast. This can also happen if a guest star becomes an Ensemble Darkhorse and is written into future episodes to capitalize on their unexpected popularity. Examples of Fake Guest Star include:

Occasionally, you even see a "Special Guest Star" credit on a movie -- how exactly someone can "guest star" in a production that doesn't have a regular cast is left as an exercise to the reader. Compare Advertised Extra, where a character who is supposed to be part of the main cast ends up feeling like a guest star. Examples of Fake Guest Star include:
