Ryan Renolds not listed in the cast section.. WTF?


His name appears Following stars: but forgotten in the credited cast. Oops. Kind of important info.

After R.R. watched the movie in its final version he wanted to be left out. Terrible movie. ;)

So he came out already? or he's still working on not being gay?

He's only in the movie for about 8 mins, he's not going to get top bill.

I believe he's pointing out the fact that Ryan Reynolds has no billing at all which would
indicate that he did his role for free. Why? We may never know.

Huh? He's in the final credits roll.

reply

I bet he's delighted as well.

I think I would've liked it better if their roles had been reversed.

agreed

reply

I have noticed some big name actors who play small parts or cameos prefer not to be billed. Rather top billing or no billing. It promotes discussion and controversy like on this post

reply

What are you talking about he is listed 4th in the cast list.

reply

Ryan Reynolds was not billed on the cover art of the DVD I obtained in Australia.

reply

why not be billed as 'special appearance by Ryan'

or AND RYAN

something like that should work.

I find it insulting that a top actor does a cameo and then he is billed 4th like he was just one of the small characters like a nobody.

reply

You're easily insulted!

reply

I find it insulting for the actor as it might damage their image or put it at risk by first doing this kind of role and then not having proper mention like its a cameo. just to put his name in the middle doesn't justify his presence imo

reply

You don't think that would be contractually agreed beforehand?

reply

I guess so but for e.g. in bollywood there is one actor I know of who doesn't care where his name is put and that was taken for granted, not that he cares

so same might be the case here but this is hollywood so it might not be

I'm saying if I'm in his position and I do a cameo then I'd make sure its mentioned as such because a star of his stature doesn't need to do this kind of role in the first place and if he does then they better mention it too.

reply

A cameo role or cameo appearance is typically an unnamed role/part, or an appearance as themselves. Ryan Reynolds role in this movie doesn't fit either of those descriptions, so it couldn't be a cameo.
