Best Answer

It depends on their role in the show and how big of a star they are.

They may be contracted to be listed as the main star instead of 'featuring', or 'also starring'.

For instance, Heather Locklear was credited as 'special guest star' despite being one of the main cast. She put it in her contract to be credited as such so she could do other projects outside of the show.

Who is the girl who roller skates in the beginning credits of the TV show hunter?

If there's a roller skating girl in the opening credits of an episode, you'll have to specify which episode and which season this happens, otherwise your question is impossible to answer, without watching 153 opening credit sequences. Having said that, it would be possible to answer your question if this girl was part of the story & had a speaking part since she'd most likely be listed in the credits, however if she was a paid extra or even simply a citizen they happened to film during location shooting it would be impossible to know who she was.

Where do you find the director of a movie in a DVD?

You mean, on the DVD case? It's usually on the back, near the bottom. There's a short list of credits, usually written in slender, all upper-case black lettering. It usually lists the director right before the title, and at the very end. The director is also usually listed in the opening and ending credits of the film.
