Who actually has the most screentime?
Readers feel a “lead” by how often a name appears as a character cue and how many dialogue words they get — not by the title page. Paste Fountain or FDX for a cue count, word count, first/last scene, and a pie of speaking share.
Frequently asked questions
Is cue count the same as screentime?
No. Silent characters and action-heavy leads are undercounted. Use this as a dialogue map, then read the pages.
Are parentheticals included?
Yes, as dialogue-adjacent words on the current speaker.
