LL Cool J, the rapper, stars in NCIS:LA as one of the main characters. However, his name is under "and" in the opening credits. Why is that? Is it because he is also a rapper? I am curious to know.

    Credit card? What credit card? – Tolga Ozses May 19 '16 at 17:12
  • Credit card, as in the graphic of the credit in the opening credits of the show... It's called a "card"... – Catija May 19 '16 at 17:14

  • @Catija sorry, I didn't know that. – Tolga Ozses May 19 '16 at 17:20
  • I'm struggling to recall an anecdote about a diva actress who was enraged because they'd forgotten her "and" at the end of the credits. When she rang the producer to complain, he replied that if she carried on complaining, he'd change it to a "but". –  May 19 '16 at 17:37
  • Voting up the duplicate of "What Rules govern..." from @Richard. I also recommend the Wikipedia Article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Harris) on Jonathan Harris as it explains why he was a "special guest star" for every episode of Lost in Space. While it's not a direct answer on "and" billing, it kind of illustrates an early use of "last place" in main billing gaining prestige with a special annotation. – sonnik May 19 '16 at 19:35

    Agreed, it's a dupe. LL Cool J is listed last in the main credit section. Generally, well known actors are listed either first or last. – Johnny Bones May 19 '16 at 20:25
  • @Richard can you make your comment an answer ? – Tolga Ozses May 19 '16 at 20:28
