So here's something I've never understood, why do most actors just get their name shows, and some say next to it their character? It's not just random either, it's always a list of a bunch of names, one at a time on screen, and then the very last one says "and _____ as _____". It's almost like you're pretending that all along it was a sentence, even though it was just a list of names with no other words or grammar or anything until that very last bit.
The strangest part though, is the very specific character type this applies to. This happens in shows where that last character is "much older British gentleman, in some sort of teacher-like position, who plays the role of mentor and father figure to the main character(s)". I've seen this in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Sliders, both excellent shows from the 90's.
Why do you do that intro credits? It just doesn't make any sense.
