I remember his single card credit distinctly because when I saw his name, I was trying to remember who he was in the film. I had to look it up later and said, "Really? That was it?" It was a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo in the mid-credits scene to establish his character who will be a major part in the sequel. Pretty much just an Easter egg for fans.OscarGuy wrote: So, ideally, it is only single-card actors with exceptions being granted only by the Awards Committee. I would have to re-watch to see if Harry Shum Jr, even with a cameo, had a single-card in the credits or not.
Because of this, Nathaniel Rogers of The Film Experience wrote, "We owe Gwen Stefani an apology". Gwen Stefani in The Aviator is often referenced to as the glorified cameo of a big star that gets starring single-card billing because of her name and thus, gets the SAG Ensemble nomination over no-name actors with more substantial roles. At least with Gwen Stefani, she had actual lines and you knew she was there. Harry Shum Jr. had nothing.
The Film Experience has a running series on this every time the SAG nominations come out on the key roles in films that get the Cast Ensemble nomination but leave out key members of the cast due to billing technicalities.
