In movies and plays, a line is a sentence or phrase.

Although it was just a small role, it got him into show business.

 

[yuheci]

“He starred in…… “ means he was as a main performer, not just a small role. Am I right?

You are right.

“He starred in…… “ means he was as a main performer, not just a small role. Am I right?

Yes. The original quotation misuses the word starred. Someone with only two lines isn't starring in a play.

Asad's telling the truth- the introductory sentence is sloppy writing as it is talking about the time before he became a star.
