co-starring

Featured with another

Co-starring describes a performer sharing top billing with another in a film, play, or television show: a romantic comedy co-starring two former sitcom actors.

The term implies roughly equal prominence rather than a supporting role.

It can also describe the act of appearing together: They've been co-starring since their Broadway days.
