Line 2:
When the [[Title Sequence]] includes credits, there is a whole mess of jockeying for position that goes on. The dominant position within the credits sequence is either at the very beginning of the list, or at the very end.
As a way to draw special attention to the last actor on the list, his name will often be bracketed with an additional annotation, such as "With", "And", or "'''And Starring'''". Sometimes, this would be elaborated even further, giving the name of the character portrayed by the actor (as in "[[Character
In the past, this was reserved for either the star of the show, a cast member who is not part of the "primary" ensemble, or a big name doing a cameo. Over time, as stars and their agents learned about the power of marketing, it has become an increasingly important bargaining point.
Line 8:
Although not done as often these days, "And Introducing" was a common credit on movies, indicating where the company felt they had a potential star on their hands and wanted to ensure everyone remembered that "you saw them here first". Often, these people were never seen or heard from again, and the perception that an "and introducing" credit was a kind of "kiss of death" to a career may explain its disappearance.
The most extreme form of this is the [[Fake Guest Star]]. Compare [[Billed Above the Title]], when special attention is drawn to the ''first'' actor in the cast list. Very common in [[All

* The 1965 version of ''[[The Flight of the Phoenix]]'' includes several levels of this. The opening credits begin as follows: "An Associates and Aldrich Company Production starring / [[James Stewart]] / [[Richard Attenborough]] / Peter Finch / Hardy Kruger / Ernest Borgnine as Trucker Cobb / in ''The Flight of the Phoenix''". But Borgnine's credit is just the beginning - they continue with "Co-starring Ian Bannen / Ronald Fraser / Christian Marquand / Dan Duryea as Standish". And they're still not done, moving on to "Also starring George Kennedy / Gabriele Tinti / Alex Montoya". And that's still not the end, as they continue with "Featuring Peter Bravos / William Aldrich / and Barrie Chase as Farida". Worth noting, perhaps, that Bravos and Aldrich die in the crash immediately after the opening credits, and Chase only appears in a flashback/hallucination.

** Interestingly, the opening credits and theme song were changed only on the insistence of Bob Denver who wanted all the lead characters explicitly named. When the studio refused to make the requested changes saying that it would be too expensive, Denver, who's contract said that his name could appear wherever he wanted it, demanded that he be removed from the opening and only be given credit at the end. Knowing that they couldn't leave their star out of the title sequence, the studio agreed to a new theme song and opening credits.
* "And Tom Bosley as Howard Cunningham" finished the intro to ''[[Happy Days]]'', which is kind of odd because you'd think the producers would want to put the Fonz at the end.

** In Season 10 we have "and Allison Mack as Chloe Sullivan" whenever she appears. This is because she had seniority by at least 3 seasons over every other cast member from the opening credits except Tom Welling who's listed first. Quite an interesting case as ''only she'' gets the "and" despite only appearing in less than half of all episodes. If she'S not there, neither is the "and".
* In ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'', Richard Dean Anderson got his name before the title, and Beau Bridges was credited as "with". Upon returning to the show after a season away, Michael Shanks was listed at the end as "And Michael Shanks as Daniel Jackson". The "and" even carried over to the posters for the DVD movies.

** Leonard Nimoy's "Also Starring" was actually a promotion from "Co-Starring" in the two original pilots (though he was still listed "As Mr. Spock"). Also note that Shatner's name is larger than Nimoy's and Kelley's. Apparently this was contractually obligated.
** The first few episodes didn't even "Co-Starring"....just 'Starring [[William Shatner]]/[[Leonard Nimoy]] as Mr. Spock'. (This may have been changed for the credits of the remastered versions of the episodes).

* Martin Sheen is listed as "And" in ''[[The West Wing]]''. In the later seasons, Jimmy Smits is listed just before him under the modifier "With". Alan Alda, being the cast member who comes first in alphabetical order anyway, goes first and thus gets "Starring" before his name once he is added to the opening credits in the seventh season.
** Mary McCormack guested for a few episode before graduating to the titles, and Janel Moloney was a guest for the entire first season. However a number of other characters never got past the end credits, including Martin Sheen's daughter (not his fake three on the show).
* Howard Hesseman was always last to be credited among the main cast on ''[[WKRP in Cincinnati]]'', both in the closing credits (seasons 1 and 2) and opening credits (seasons 3 and 4). Like Ryan Stiles above, he was also credited with "as Dr. Johnny Fever."

* [[Mary McDonnell]] got a big fat "Special Guest Star Mary McDonnell as Captain Sharon Raydor" during the fifth season of ''[[The Closer]]''. It didn't hurt that she'd just come off her stint as President Laura Roslin on BSG. When she got her [[Promotion to Opening Titles]] in season 7, she slotted in right before Jon Tenney, as "with Mary McDonnell and Jon Tenney".

Line 174 ⟶ 172:
* ''Damages'' has this in every season. Glenn Close gets the top spot and season 1's credits end with "with Tate Donovan and Ted Danson". Season 2 takes this to an absurd level with its credits ending like so: "with Marcia Gay Harden and Timothy Olyphant and William Hurt AND (when he appears in an episode) Ted Danson". Ted Danson again gets an "and" in season 3 episodes he appears in.

* A certain 1980s [[Pilot Movie]] ended its opening credits with "and Alexa Hamilton as the Invisible Woman".
* In order to maintain the "big up front, big out back" sandwich, the opening credits on ''Hustle'' have always opened with Adrian Lester and closed up with "and Robert Vaughn as Albert Stroller"
* ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]'' was notorious for [[Promotion to Opening Titles|its revolving door-style notion of what makes a "main character"]], yet no matter how often the names changed in the opening sequence the first and last spots always remained the same starting with Jennifer Garner and ending with "and Victor Garber". When Lena Olin joined the cast it became "with Lena Olin ... and Victor Garber", then it went back to "and Victor Garber" after she left.

* For most of the 1970s and 1980s, [[The Announcer]] on ''[[Wheel of Fortune]]'' would introduce only the host (Chuck Woolery until 1981, Pat Sajak from 1981 onward), who in turn would introduce the co-host (Susan Stafford until 1982, [[Lovely Assistant|Vanna White]] from 1983 following a few substitutes). Starting in the 1990s, the opening spiel was changed to end in "...the stars of America's game, Pat Sajak and Vanna White!" and they walked out together.
* The opening credits for The Osbournes go through the four family members, ending with "And [[
* ''[[The L Word]]'' put its actors' names in the credits in strict alphabetical order... with the exception of the final name: "and [[Pam Grier]] as Kit". It presumably helped that [[Jennifer Beals]], its other big-name star, has a name early on in the alphabet.

* ''[[Good Luck Charlie]]'' has "And Jason Dolley",who plays the eldest son, rather than one of the two parents as is more typical for family sitcoms (though Eric Allan Kramer gets a "with" credit). This is probably because of his years of long and loyal service to the Mouse House.

He was credited last in any event, but it wasn't until well into the show's run that he finally got the full "Jaleel White as Steve Urkel" credit.
