	Leading actor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word lead may also refer to the largest role in the piece and leading actor may refer to a person who typically plays such parts or an actor with a respected body of work.
		Some actors are typecast as leads, but most play the lead in some performances and supporting or character roles in others.
		Sometimes there is more than one significant leading role in a dramatic piece, and the actors are said to play co-leads; a large supporting role may be considered a secondary lead.

	Women vs. Men in Entertainment - Star Search Casting Forums
		While both leading actors and leading actresses in film, TV or theater productions are usually cast because of their talent, looks and sex appeal, Hollywood’s idea of what makes an attractive leading man versus an attractive leading woman can be two completely different ideas.
		The leading man may have not even gone to the gym in a couple of years and may be out of shape but nonetheless in Hollywood he will still be considered a “sexy” leading man. On the other hand, the studios expect leading actresses to be absolutely perfect or at least very close to it!
		The actress is expected to be all of these things while the leading man, who is playing the role of the husband in the movie, looks like he could be the woman’s father.
