Which makes sense since she's the Love Interest for Doc Brown, who is gets a little more focus in this movie than Marty.Lea Thompson gets an "And" in Back to The Future Part III, her status as leading lady being overtaken by Mary Steenburgen.Parodied in Airplane!: "And introducing Otto as himself.".Jeffrey Combs always gets the last credit in the title sequence of the Re-Animator movies: "And Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West." Funny, since he's the protagonist of all the movies."And starring Steve Buscemi" seems to appear on the credits of most films in which he makes a (usually scene-stealing) appearance.And then he's never seen again for the rest of the film. Well known and quirky British comedian Eddie Izzard pops up for an extremely extravagant and nearly disturbing musical performance in Across the Universe.Compare Billed Above the Title, when special attention is drawn to the first actor in the cast list. The most extreme form of this is the Fake Guest Star. Often, these people were never seen or heard from again, and the perception that an "and introducing" credit was a kind of "kiss of death" to a career may explain its disappearance. Over time, as stars and their agents learned about the power of marketing, it has become an increasingly important bargaining point.Īlthough not done as often these days, "And Introducing" was a common credit on movies, indicating where the company felt they had a potential star on their hands and wanted to ensure everyone remembered that "you saw them here first". In the past, this was reserved for either the star of the show, a cast member who is not part of the "primary" ensemble, or a big name doing a cameo. Sometimes, this would be elaborated even further, giving the name of the character portrayed by the actor (as in " And starring Generalissimo Francisco Franco, as himself"). The dominant position within the credits sequence is either at the very beginning of the list, or at the very end.Īs a way to draw special attention to the last actor on the list, his name will often be bracketed with an additional annotation, such as "With", "And", or " And Starring". When the Title Sequence includes credits, there is a whole mess of jockeying for position that goes on.
