Correct, Correct, but Luther Vandross. A protagonist is the central character in a story. Most stories have only one protagonist (e.g., Dorothy Gale in _The Wizard of Oz_, or John McClane in _Die Hard_), but some have two (_The War of the Roses_, _Rush Hour_), and the rare few have more (_Love, Actually_, _The Umbrella Academy_). Everyone else is support or opposition. DQ: From a TV show? ---
