Throughout the history of commercial arts, creators are limited by what's available and what they can afford. Sometimes the artist will be forced to go another direction. Many do it gracefully, others leave so much of their original idea in the piece that what remains can only be seen as a poor substitute. This trope can apply to Actors, licensed Music, and anything that could have strings attached. Similar issues occur in the tropes Absentee Actor, Captain Ersatz, and Home Version Soundtrack Replacement.
