An Actor Allusion is a joke or reference which is specific to one of the actors in a show. It can be a little blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, such as Mary Albright (Jane Curtin) spotting some people in [[Series/SaturdayNightLive Conehead]] costumes at a sci-fi convention in ''Series/ThirdRockFromTheSun'', or it can be bigger and more blatant, such as when Creator/JohnLithgow repeated his entire anti-music rant from ''Film/{{Footloose}}'' in the same show. Casting two or more actors who not only appeared together in a previous production, but spent a great deal of time onscreen together (especially alone) ''really'' reinforces the reference, as the page image demonstrates.
Related to the ShoutOut, and is sometimes triggered by IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine or a CastingGag. But while a CastingGag relies upon casting an actor in a role that reflects on their RealLife history, an Actor Allusion sets up a character or plot to reference ''a previous plot or role'' for the actor. If this role was on a previous version of the show, it's a RemakeCameo.
Contrast with CelebrityParadox and MetaCasting where the actor themselves is the subject of reference. If in animation, can be the result of TalkingToHimself. This is show business' way of acknowledging JustForFun/RoleAssociation.

An Actor Allusion is the deliberate, yet typically rather isolated, throw-away references to previous works/roles of an actor in a work, say a joke or mannerism. The reference which is specific unlikely to one of have much plot relevance, and is unlikely to be anything but a deliberate nod to the actors in a show. actor's previous work. Also note that it is for allusions to ''roles'', not the actor themselves, with the equivalent being an ActorSharedBackground.
