Chris Tucker in Friday
Chris Tucker in Dead Presidents
Sean Connery in The Untouchables


Connery was a feature drawing blockbuster supporting lead actor in untouchables.
the vehicle was for Costner to get rub from Connery and Pacino to become a bkockbuster lead consistently from their draw with his performance opposite their own.

Andy Garcia although via nepotism.
could be viewed as lesser billed in his role in the movie.
yet i would say he was put in the film for the same purpose as Costner tho.
so i would say he was not lesser billed either.

on tv...
lesser billed actors would be booger from revenge of the nerds on moonlighting and in the movie revenge of the nerds.

on herman head. The receptionist opposite head and hank Azaria.
whom became a supporting drawing lead actress on a much later gen fox show, that 70's show. I believe.

the entire supporting case on parker LEWIS can't lose. As corin was a live action teen super hero that ruled Saturday afternoons after cartoons.
the rest of the cast included supporting characters from revenge of the nerds acclaim.

cheers

I believe. Woody harrelson would count but he may have been cast as a blockbuster supporting feature tho too. Someone older would have to speak on that one. Yet i think he is one.

the kid who plays op dirty basted on the wu tang show.
kid needs a dirty solo show quick.
only had one feature content lead show and every appearsnce he shows up. He is golden.

Miami vice & svu
that fiyoine poised sell spoken black doctor lady. Whose hair matches always perfectly matches her skin tone.
who always plays the forensic specialist.

younger aged bird from soul food. when she played on Miami vice.





MOVIES

certain movies actors posted is about the character.
or the idea the character is based on central point in America societal history moving forward.
neg or pos.
or at some point in the past.
neg or pos

Janine on ghost busters.
that any depiction of the ghostbusters from cartoon to film reimagination is not accurrate.
unless Justine is integral to the content moving forward.
you can change the love interest of bill Murray as venkman.
yet if you change.
or not include Winston or justine. The shyt will fail easy.
if justine never shows in any ghostbusters anything.
it is not ghostbusters.

I find any idea of women not bei G integral to our gen's makeup as a boldface lie. Told by wack feminist sho never played outside with any other kids male or female in the era. As girls always had a place in play from voltron to anything a boy played. shyt a girl boom in toys is from a boy property called he-man. Plus why said he-man is a defunct property now because of he-man being emasculated by the much cooler in every way sexy sultry voiced she-ra with sexy RnB pop score in tow.
in ghost busters for all the male phd's mentioned in the leads background. Justine is the intelligent person in the room lynchpin to the entire franchise.

to close even linda hamilton made a name to give Arnold a draw from beauty and the beast. That Disney relaunched from Hamilton's explosion as a lead in beauty to terminator. As she was a fantasy romance tv lead actress in a tv slot oc doom turned blockbuster leading actress from tv. That could have failed. So do not believe all the sjw talk in the media concerning film. It is dishonest subterfuge and a false narrative.

ALIENS :

CAT
NEWT

MENACE

FRESH

CHUCKIE FROM FRESH


clueless

Brittany murphy is the only cool person in the whole movie.
that i feel her whole career became a draw.
simply because she played and was a babyfat chub likeable chick.
in a movie that was supposed to be modern cool.


Kat denning in I wanna say die hard or some movie like that.
she played the rebelous Daria teen come to life.
that she is a welcome attraction in anything.

Busta Rhymes in Halloween Resurrection


I was gon say this.
yet i thought about it and he was cast like ll in toys but placed higher in draw and content. As the lead to the production than ll was.
so he would have been a prospective blockbuster supporting feature or lead supportive blockbuster feature actor in draw on the bill.

Terrence Howard in The Best Man. That film made him a star.


Jamie Foxx in Ali


Chris Rock in both I’m Gonna Git You Sucka and Boomerang


Martin Lawrence in House Party

Bill Bellamy in Love Jones


Donald Glover in The Martian

Wesley Snipes in Mo Betta Blues

Kevin Hart in Think Like A Man. (Yes I know the movie is an ensemble and technically he was one of the leads but similar to Terrence Howard in Best Man this was a “star making” performance from Kevin)


Sung Kang in Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift

Jeremy Piven in the television series Entourage (He was the absolute best character in the series.)


Samuel L Jackson in Django Unchained


Doug E. Doug in Class Act


Arsenio Hall in Coming To America (I REALLY think its understated how much Arsenio stole the show from Eddie Murphy in this flick)


As a CHARACTER i’m also going to throw in John Stewart’s Green Lantern from Justice League/Justice League Unlimited. Dude came onto a team that consisted of Kevin Conroy’s iconic Caped Crusader from Batman:The Animated Series and Tim Daly’s popular Clark Kent from Superman:The Animated Series and had the BEST character development in the entire series.

Viola Davis in Doubt.

She was only in the movie for one scene that lasted less than 8 minutes and she stole said scene from Meryl Streep.
It earned Davis an Oscar nomination and kickstarted her career into the A List.




She did the same damn thing in Antwon Fischer with LESS lines.

Shaft (2000) - Peoples Hernandez (Jeffrey Wright). Very average movie to begin with. His scenes were the only ones that really stood out.

A Few Good Men - Jack Nicholson as The Colonel

No Country for Old Men - Anton Chigurh - Javier Bardem


Definitely not lesser billed….:patrice:



well what do you mean by lesser billed exactly:jbhmm:

Exactly the question that I asked, yet you had people complaining about it.

It’s like they’ve never heard of the term co-leads in movie and TV production. Just doesn’t you are #1 on the billing doesn’t mean that you aren’t a lead.

I think of anyone that isn't the lead.

This is the poster for Untouchables:

Connery is the fifth listed actor

But if we are going off this depiction, Regina Hall from The Best Man. Bronson Pinchot and Damon Wayans in Beverly Hills Cop.
