In show business (music, TV shows, etc.), a guest appearance is a participation of an outsider performer (musician, actor, etc.), usually called guest artist (guest dancer, guest violinist, etc.), in an event (music record, concert, show, etc.), i.e., the participation of a performer which does not belong to the regular crew (cast, band, contract personnel, etc.) In performance art, the terms guest role or guest star are also common, the latter term specifically indicating the guest appearance of a celebrity. The latter is often also credited as "Special guest star" or "Special Musical Guest Star" by some production companies.
In pop music guest appearances are often described with the words featuring, with, or and. It is abbreviated in credit lists as Feat., Ft., f.
In television series, a guest star is an actor who appears in one or a few episodes. In radio and television shows, a guest star is a guest of the show who is a celebrity.
Guest appearances have been known in theatre, ballet, and classical music for centuries, with guests both from the home country and from abroad. The advent of air transport has made this practice much more practical and global.

Plot: Dr. James McGregor has it all. A wonderful family, home, career, money that took years of schooling and sacrifice. When McGregor meets financial adviser Charles Emerson, he steps into a world of shortcuts and fast money. It's in this world that McGregor begins to leave his disciplined, conservative lifestyle for the quick buck. Emerson goes for the big score, an insider trading tip that's a sure thing and on his advisement, McGregor goes 'all-in' with his life savings. Soon after, Emerson is nowhere to be found, and McGregor becomes aware that he has been conned. Meanwhile, McGregor's demeanor is surly due to the stress of losing everything as all of this has taken place without his wife's consent. Having lost his savings, and now his family, McGregor pushes his own ethics to the limit and beyond as he takes measures to ensure that Emerson returns his money.
