The Daly Show

I was recently watching "University," a third-season episode of The Sopranos. It's an episode noted for its ugly violence, but I noticed something else I'd missed the first time around (understandably).

We meet the father of Meadow's boyfriend. He's a high-powered entertainment attorney, and he mentions talking to Tim Daly. Later, Daly would play a recurring character on The Sopranos.

Has this ever happened before? There have been plenty of shows that mentioned an actor who'd then appear as himself, but has an actor ever been mentioned on a show and later had a fictional role on it?
