A phrase coined by acting royalty Tom Wilkinson during a [Wittertainment](Wittertainment) interview. When an actor of stature takes on a smaller, supporting or cameo role in a film, they may ask to have the word "And" (or even "With", if there are several stars in smaller roles) before their name on the poster and credits. This special billing lends a certain level of prestige, while maintaining the priority given to the leading actors.
The film [Kingsman: The Golden Syrup](Kingsman:_The_Golden_Syrup) features _two_ "and" performances on the credits, for [Tatum Channing](Tatum_Channing) and [JEFF BRIDGES!](JEFF_BRIDGES!).
[Jason Isaacs](Jason_Isaacs) [asked for the and](https://web.archive.org/web/20221127190636/https://twitter.com/bensutherland/status/912367277961617408) for his role in Star Trek: Discovery.
This was sent-up by another patron of the 'And', Mark Strong, with [The Mark Strong But Game](The_Mark_Strong_But_Game).
