feature (one) as (something)
To give one a starring role in something, usually related to performing (such as a play, film, or band). Oh, the director didn't feature me as anything—I'm just a singer in the chorus. We're going to feature Lucy as Éponine in our upcoming performance of Les Mis.
feature someone as something
1. to imagine someone to be something or a particular type of person. I really can't feature you as a ship's captain. Alice had always featured Fred as a fairly even-tempered person.
2. to give special prominence to someone in a particular part in a play, film, opera, etc. They featured Laura as the lead singer in the group. The director refused to feature Roger as a lead.
