这里也可以用定冠词the, 但现代英语的趋势是表示职业的词置于姓名前，可看作是称呼，the经常省略，也可能是出于简练吧。请比较下面的例句：
1. The famous actress Gong Li was recruited by Sleemon to shoot a TV commercial.
2. Chinese film director Chen Kaige poses with Chinese movie star Gong Li at the Festival Palace in Cannes.3. 
3. The Korean movie star Jang Dong-gun is set to make his Hollywood debut soon.
4. Here is a picture of the famous movie star Zhang Ziyi.
但如果不是表示职业的名字后面接人名，名词前的 the 不能省略，如：The name Bruce Lee has become a household word.
