Q: How did Sandra Oh end up being cast in "Killing Eve"? It's not the sort of role she had done before.
According to the show's creator, that's exactly why she got the role. According to Sandra Oh herself, that's why she should have gotten it.

Q: I feel like I've learned a lot watching "Perry Mason" reruns. Are all the legal statements made in the shows true? The writers must have included a lawyer.

There are a few factors that go into the billing order, and a couple of them came together to get Jack Nicholson top billing in 1989's "Batman."
Nicholson actually had it written into his contract that he be billed first (he had a lot of other wacky stuff written in there, such as the stipulation that he not be scheduled to film during Los Angeles Lakers games).
