WHAT IS A LEAD ACTOR/ACTRESS? (In the Entertainment industry.)

Lead Actor/Actress - The simple answer is a lead actor is
the actor or actress whose story the film of play is centered around. The main
protagonist in the production. It is typically the largest role.
A leading actor, leading actress, star, starring role, or
simply lead, plays the role of the protagonist of a film, television show or
play. The word lead may also refer to the largest role in the piece and leading
actor may refer to a person who typically plays such parts or an actor with a
respected body of work. Some actors are typecast as leads, but most play the
lead in some performances and supporting or character roles in others.
Sometimes there is more than one significant leading role
in a dramatic piece, and the actors are said to play co-leads; a large
supporting role may be considered a secondary lead. Award nominations for
acting often reflect such ambiguities. Thus, sometimes two actors in the same
performance piece are nominated for Best Actor or Best Actress -- categories
traditionally reserved for leads. For example, in 1935 Clark Gable, Charles
Laughton and Franchot Tone were each nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award
for Mutiny on the Bounty. There can even be controversy over whether a
particular performance should be nominated in the Best Actor/Actress or Best
Supporting Actor/Actress category.
A title role is often but not necessarily the lead. A lead
role must also be differentiated from a starring role, which means that an
actor is credited as a part of the main cast, but not that he necessarily plays
the main character.
