Have there been any films with just leads ? No actors " relegated" to supporting or character roles... and no uncredited extras either Even this two man show has a waiter and a bartender ! ![](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BNWFlMjNlZWUtMTYzNy00ZjA4LWE2YTItOGE3NWVjZDBhOWI3XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNjQ2MjQ5NzM@._V1_.jpg)

Pretty difficult to come up with films without supporting and character players, not to mention extras ... all of who are essential to MOST films. Looking forward to seeing what else will be gleaned from the archives ! ![](https://s26.postimg.cc/s8tffwvq1/cheers.gif)

I know Segal and Dennis got nominated/won "support" Oscars but I think you could make a case for WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?
also I think LOCKE featured only Tom Hardy (albeit the voices of other actors)
Here's some help...one actor films

They might fit as an Ensemble Cast BUT there were two uncredited extra folks Agnes Flanagan … Roadhouse Waitress (uncredited) Frank Flanagan … Roadhouse Manager (uncredited) ![](https://s26.postimg.cc/7d754nzix/clap.gif) for the one actor film list
