List of fictional actors

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.

This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy certain standards for completeness.
Revisions and sourced additions are welcome.

The following list only covers the characters in the book that work in movies, and only if their names are given (failed stars who do not get a single role are not listed).
