And Starring: Difference between revisions

Line 34:

* Parodied in ''[[Ocean's Eleven]]'', which "introduces" [[Julia Roberts]] . . . eleven years ''after'' her breakout role. ''Ocean's Twelve'' also switches the names of the character and actor (due to a scene where her character [[Actor Allusion|impersonates]] [[Celebrity Paradox|Julia Roberts]]): "Introducing Tess Ocean as Julia Roberts."

* "Introducing [[Lindsay Lohan]]" in Disney's remake of ''[[The Parent Trap]]''.

* Minnie Driver got an '[[And Starring]]' in the ''[[Phantom of the Opera]]'' [[The Movie|movie]]. Somewhat understandable in that particular case, since most of the major parts were played by Hollywood unknowns.

* ''[[Rookie of the Year]]'': "And introducing Thomas Ian Nicholas."

Line 71:

* ''[[Easy A]]'' had "And Emma Stone". Unconventional, considering that she plays the lead. At the time, though, Stone didn't have the name recognition of a Lisa Kudrow or Stanley Tucci.

* ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]'' has "and [[Sean Connery]] as Professor Henry Jones".

* ''Beyond the Poseidon Adventure'' had '''two''' "and" ~~credits -- one~~ each for Shirley Jones and Karl Malden. It literally reads "and Shirley Jones" ... "and Karl Malden."

* * ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]'' and ''[[Kung Fu Panda 2]]'' has "and [[Jackie Chan]]".

* ''[[Halloween H 20]]'' had "introducing [[Josh Hartnett]]". He has done quite well for himself ever since.

** ''[[Halloween Resurrection]]'' has two "and" credits—One for [[Tyra Banks]] and one for [[Jamie Lee Curtis]].

* The first two ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter]]'' films had the three leads [[Daniel Radcliffe]], [[Emma Watson]], [[Rupert Grint]] then went on with "Staring" with all the adult actors in (mostly) alphabetical order.

* The 2010 adaptation of ''[[True Grit]]'' has [[Hailee Steinfeld]], who plays the main character, featured in the "And" section, without the "introducing" even though it was her first film.

Line 89:

== Live Action TV ==

* The opening credits of ''[[The Adventures of Brisco County Jr]]'' end with the line "With Comet" ~~-- Brisco~~'s horse.

Line 111:

* ''[[Community]]'' also has two: "with Ken Jeong and Chevy Chase".

* ''[[CSI]]'' gives Paul Guilfoyle the "And".

* ''[[Desperate Housewives]]'' has "Brenda Strong as Mary Alice Young". Weirdly, however, this is not the last credit of the opening ~~titles--that~~ honor belongs to "and James Denton", which appears after Strong's credit.

* ''[[Desperate Housewives]]'' has "Brenda Strong as Mary Alice Young". Weirdly, however, this is not the last credit of the opening titles—that honor belongs to "and James Denton", which appears after Strong's credit.

** "And Rex Hamilton as [[Historical Hilarity|Abraham Lincoln]]," who is seen getting shot at—and firing back—in the theater and never appears again.

** After the Abraham Lincoln credit, each episode credits that episode's 'Special Guest Star', who is promptly killed in their credit scene and not seen again.

* As the credits evolve throughout the season, ''[[Power Rangers]]'' often end up with several actors listed this way; ''[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder]]'' used "And", "With" and "Also Starring" all at the same time.

* ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' had some fun with this, in the third season second episode "Time Slides". Because they spliced in some old German [[World War II]] footage, they were able to put in "[[Adolf Hitler]], as himself" into the opening.

** Also in ''[[Red Dwarf]]'', Chloe Annett's first appearance as Kochanski had her listed as "and introducing Chloe Annett as Kochanski" ~~-- in~~ the ''end'' credits, oddly enough (as Red Dwarf has no cast credits in its opening titles). Given that this wasn't her first ever on-screen performance, it's likely that this was to acknowledge her being [[The Other Darrin]].

* The credits of ''[[Seinfeld]]'' ended with "And Jason Alexander as George," as he had arguably the highest profile as an actor of the four principals.
