:Tom Cruise only appeared once. His other "appearances" are mentions. Therefore, he didn't appear more than once on the show. If a character appears again, they should be recurring. My only exception is books. If a character appears in a screenshot in a book, that shouldn't count as an appearance as it's just a screenshot. In fact, I don't even think it should be listed on the page as an appearance. <span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span> 15:08, November 28, 2016 (EST)

Tom Cruise only appeared once. His other "appearances" are mentions. Therefore, he didn't appear more than once on the show. If a character appears again, they should be recurring. My only exception is books. If a character appears in a screenshot in a book, that shouldn't count as an appearance as it's just a screenshot.
