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