Standard for Los Angeles actors' resumés

Film Billing

Lead: principal role in the film, in most scenes, on-screen credit is often in the credits that start the film (as well as in the complete end credits).

Supporting: principal role in the film, in one or more scenes but not a lead character although important to the storyline.

Featured: principal role in the film with one or more lines but easily cut from the final version of the film. Unfortunately, many extras have started using the term "featured" to describe their extra work and that means casting directors are less and less convinced that a job listed as "featured" actually was a featured principal role.

Extra: non-speaking role in the film with no on-screen credit. This billing does not belong on an acting resumé.
