One sharing top billing (2-4)

I believe the answer is:

co-star

(Other definitions for co-star that I've seen before include "One of joint leads" , "Fellow leading actor" , "Performer meriting joint billing" , "Top performer with equal billing to another" , "Performer of equal importance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
