From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fictional stories sometimes feature a fictional movie (see List of fictional movies) or play. In these cases, occasionally, a fictional actor appears. In movies (see Film in film), it is not infrequent that a real, famous actor plays the role of a fictional person who is also an actor.

Revisions and sourced additions are welcome.
