Add a new rule, “Stunt Casting”:-
A Scripter may choose to Stunt-Cast a Scene by rolling an extra DICE12024 in the same GNDT comment as their die roll for the Body Count.
The Actor at this list of American film actors whose number matches the result of this die roll is the Stunt-Cast Actor for this Scene, and their name should be mentioned in brackets after the role they are playing, in the Scene. (For example, “The getaway car runs down a street vendor (Christopher Walken) and speeds into the night.”) A Scene may only have one Stunt-Cast Actor.
The Scripter should then find the Actor on IMDB by searching for that Actor’s name at http://www.imdb.com/search (“Cast / Crew Name Search”, using “Actors only” or “Actresses only” as appropriate) and taking the first result that exactly matches the name given on the list.
- If the Actor is listed as alive, the Scripter should count the number of awards that the Actor has won or been nominated for, according to their IMDB page. The Scripter may add that many Bodies to their own Body Count (unless this would add more than ten, in which case the Scripter may only add ten).
- If the Actor is listed as dead, then the Scene must still be posted as a comment to the Drawing Board, but it is Cut immediately afterwards.
- If no such match exists, then the writing crew shrug and no bonus is awarded.
The wiki page “List of American film actors” may only be changed by the Producer, who may alter it at any time.
If the wiki page “List of American film actors” has been altered since its initial creation, it shall be reverted to that initial version when this proposal enacts.

So… do the bonus Bodies get added to the scene, or just to the Scripter’s total body count?
