Actors with one line roles that got in the opening credits?
Just got back from seeing Bad Santa at the theater. Alex Borstein was listed in the opening credits but had one throwaway line. She's cast as "Milwaukee Mom with Photo." This is even stranger when Cloris Leachman had a bigger role than Borstein and went uncredited. Weird.
Any other movies that do this?

I haven't seen it in a while, but it seemed that Mary Louise Parker had hardly any lines in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

Voice role only, but Cloris Leachman's part was cut down to one line in The Iron Giant. She was still billed fifth, I'm sure because of her contract.
One that no one else would probably notice is a favorite of mine, Severn Darden, in The Shoot Horses, Don't They?. He's billed (only) ninth, and is visible throughout as one of the dance contestants, but has zero lines if I remember correctly. I would guess that his dialog part was left on the cutting room floor.

She might have more than one line, but this is close enough. Chicken coop driver Ada Washington even made the poster credits for Last House on the Left (1972) while Fred Lincoln and Jeramie Rain didn't.

Well, if we're talking zero lines we'd have to add Yul Brynner in Futureworld. Might be the most unnecessary, shoehorned cameo ever.

She's listed on the back of the box credits so it counts but Zooey Deschanel in Assassination of Jesse James. Only appears at the very end, has a few lines (and she sings)
