Maitre D'

The Maitre D' (meaning head waiter) is portrayed by Cory English in the Cats Movie 2019. Cory says about his character "When Bustopher Jones, who is played by James Corden, starts looking for something to eat I'm the one to say, 'Oh try this bin. Here's this'. So I do a lot with James Corden."

Originally the Maitre D' was just a minor character in the Bustopher Jones sequence. However, his role was extended after a week of rehearsal. So instead of just having a small cameo, he will now appear throughout the whole film.

He is seen multiples times throughout the trailer with people often mistaking him for Bustopher Jones. In the trailer he is seen getting bumped by Bustopher Jones's stomach, looking sympathetic to Grizabella as she sings Memory, and he is seen standing with the rest of the Jellicle Tribe in Trafalgar Square.
