Wasn’t Tom Hanks’ character in The Davinci Code a historian?

Bell hop — It was an ensemble cast, but Tim Roth’s character in Four Rooms.

Bell Hop: Jerry Lewis’ movie The Bellboy

Bell hop as main character: Louden Swain in Vision Quest. Granted, he was a high school student and wrestler primarily, but his job was a bell hop.
