| | Posted: | | | | If an actor is listed in both the opening and end credits where their role is provided in the opening credits but, not in the end credits. Can you use another source besides the opening credits for the role name since it is not provided in the end credits? | | | Are you local?

Can you use another source besides the opening credits for the role name since it is not provided in the end credits? Does the credit say: John Doe as John Smith or does it just have Starring: John Doe? Normally if it is John Doe as John Smith in the opening credits and not the closing credits, I still include it, but make sure you mention where it came from in your notes. | | | We're on a mission from God.

| | Posted: | | | | But if the role is provided in the opening credits, what would be the point of going to another source? The opening credits are still "credits" so if a role is there that should be the only source needed.
Just curious, do you not like the role name provided in the opening credits for some reason? | | | "Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" - Douglas Bader

| | Posted: | | | | Rules say:
"Some actors may be credited a second time in either credits at either the opening or close of the film."
So using the opening credits should be o.k., no need for other sources. | | | | Thorsten |

Can you use another source besides the opening credits for the role name Why would you want to do that? If the role is shown in the film credits, either end (as first choice) or opening credits (if it's only there), I would use that, not other sources. | | | | -- Enry | | | | Last edited: by White Pongo, Jr. |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm not saying I'm the one doing it, I'm asking a question because there is contribution up for vote currently is using a role name from another source. I can only assume because the role is not provided in the end credits. | | | Are you local?

If there is nothing in the Contribution Notes indicating it, I'd vote No and wait for the PM of the contributor for an explanation... Other than that I agree with what was said above. | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

Well, when the role is mentioned neither in the opening credits nor in the end credits it should be well-founded why to add it to the credits at all. | | | | Thorsten |

Well, yes, it should, but I wouldn't vote NO if I know the role names are right, I mean as in the movie. Quote:

Actually, getting the role name from the movie itself is just as good as the credits on either end. I've done many, many contributions using "cast listed as credited, or from watching movie" and never had one turned down for that. | | | John
