I’m wondering how “leading role” is defined in this quiz. 16 actors in it seem to be people who had a couple of lines in BARBIE and nothing else. I can see an argument for Simu Liu, maybe, but to have someone like Jamie Demetriou, who played unnamed “Mattel Executive,” listed, but not larger names from the movie like John Cena, Rhea Perlman, or Helen Mirren seems questionable. It also seems to go against the spirit of the quiz, which I imagine is to name broadly successful comic actors.

Yeah it’s subjective and based on the website the-numbers.com’s definition, whatever that is.
