| I'm pretty sure the title card name placement is contractual and NOT related to salary. I think it's up to each individual production how many they want to have. It's analogous to how many people are above or below the title in a Broadway show. That's related to the size of the roles, but ultimately up to the production. Roundabout gives out above-the-title billing like water. Alexander Gemignani was billed above the title for playing the Boatman in their Sunday in the Park with George, and there is no way anyone could justify that is a leading role or otherwise deserving of above-the-title billing. (Gemignani is very talented; this is not about him per se.) An interesting theater-related note to SAG designation: apparently, Britney Spears was under serious consideration for playing one of the Merry Murderesses in the film version of Chicago, which won the SAG Award for Best Ensemble. Each of the Murderesses was named on a separate title card and won the SAG. So Britney Spears, who is a truly terrible actress, came close to winning one of the highest acting awards. |
