Does "Dead Again" really star Andy Garcia? I didn't know the actor before this movie, but I assume he is famous, or they would not have claimed he stars in it. I was pleased to see that Derek Jacobi stars much more prominently than this Garcia fellow in this movie, but it also made me wonder what this mislabeling was all about. It seemed to me he was an important character, but minor character nonetheless, like Robin Williams'. Any ideas?
shareIn the unfathomable world of Hollywood marketing, screen time does not necessarily insure billing order-- what counts is name recognition.(Think Jennifer Aniston in Office Space!) While Derek Jacobi plays a sizable role and was quite the career veteran at the time Dead Again was made, he was unlikely perceived to be as well known (despite I Claudius) to mainstream, film going American audiences as Andy Garcia was just coming off of his role in Godfather III. That's my guess anyway.
Andy Garcia's is really an Extended cameo really.
