Any Professions NOT Used In Films/TV Shows For Lead Characters?

Dilbert!

Wow, y’all are good at this!

Hmm…

A church organist?

I’ll concede that, since he was your roommate and all.

I believe the title you are looking for is “Transponster.”

**
The Commitments**. Their keyboardist played organ at his church.

Also, Angel In My Pocket. Andy Griffith was a minister, but also played the organ. There was one memorable scene where he was buying a used organ from a bump-and-grind establishment and while he was playing an aspiring stripper used his music to demonstrate her moves…

How about an efficiency expert, like Anthony Hopkins in The Efficiency Expert?

THAT’S NOT EVEN A WORD

(all caps now)

Does “farmer” count?

There have been a few in supporting roles, but Librarians are pretty sparse when it comes to lead roles.

How about Matt Damon in The Informant. The guy he played in the movie was president of the BioProducts Division at Archer Daniels Midland in real life.

That’s the job the main character of Carnival of Souls was hired for…admittedly she didn’t seem to get into work much, though.

Desk Set

Marian the Librarian was the female lead in The Music Man. Noah Wyle starred in a series of TV movies known collectively as “The Librarian.” And while Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Rupert Giles was a supporting character, he was the only member of that ensemble with a steady job most seasons…

Wasn’t the female lead in the first Mummy movie a librarian too?

Now, the people who reshelf books, they get no movie/tv respect.

How about archivists?

Parker Posey in Party Girl. I remembered her but forgot all about those librarians.

Fred MacMurray was a salesmen. Edward G. Robinson was an actuary.

Warehouse 13?

Nicely done. Lab technicians?

CSI in all of its many forms.
That DNA isn’t going to run itself.
