Screenwriting : Introducing a protagonist... by Mike Norman

Introducing a protagonist...

Is it necessary to introduce the protagonist in the first scene? I have an opening scene that I like to set the tone of the story with one of the main characters, however I do not actually introduce the protagonist until a few pages/scenes later. Acceptable?

lol, the funny thing is if I were to have read the psycho script, I would have ripped it a part.
