I'm going to work on the profile for Valentine's Day and the cast is split into dividers. Here's how one breaks down:

Other Los Angelinos
Character - Actor
Character - Actor
etc
etc
Character - Actor
                Actor
Character - Actor
etc
etc

End


Edit: Now that I think about it, I guess it might be obvious but thought I'd ask. Would I place an end divider with those actors or what?

Anyone have any ideas? Do I put a group end? I would assume so as there are no end dividers for the other 5 group dividers that proceeded.

Would it be:

ACM
Character - Actor
etc
etc

Other Los Angelenos
Character - Actor
etc
-- END DIVIDER --
Character - Actor
                Actor
-- START DIVIDER AGAIN? --
Character - Actor
Character - Actor

(End of Cast Credits)

Would there be another End Divider after those two actors?

Unfortunately, no one knows. Which means: everyone does as he pleases, "first one in wins", and no consistency in sight. I warned about this exact problem when we were still in beta stage, but today there's still no answer...

So in your set up, it would be:

Other Los Angelenos

Etc
Other Los Angelenos - ESPN Radio Announcers
Actor
Actor
Other Los Angelenos
Character - Actor

Am I reading that right?

What makes this worse is after those two "actors" (it's Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic), there's only one other credit for the radio guy... *sigh*

In its current programming limitation nesting group dividers do not work.  Currently a group divider ends the previous group, so ends the nest.

The only way I have found to wrok is

Other Los Angelinos    <---group
    actor - character
    actor - character
Other Los Angelinos: Character <---Group:Supgroup
    Actor
    Actor
Other Los NAgelinos    <---Back to group
    actor characte
    actor Character
end group

you have to return back to the sub group with another group divider

So what I did here:
(Sorry, I had posted that when CharlieM were posted his)

So in your set up, it would be:

Other Los Angelenos (Group)
Character - Actor
Etc
Other Los Angelenos: ESPN Radio Announcers (Group:Subgroup)
Actor
Actor
Other Los Angelenos (Group Again)
Character - Actor

Is what you are suggesting?

What I would do is drop the subgroup, just enter them as normal cast. Since we can't nest groups, I feel that this gives the closest representation of the credits.

Looks like we're going to get a variety of opinions. I've submitted with the subgroup that Charlie suggested, but I guess if I get more concensus or if Ken chimes in, then I'll adjust and resubmit. Personally, I don't care in this case as at no time will I look at what movies Mike and Mike were in (this is their first anyway), so doesn't matter to me where this goes...

This was discussed  Ken, I believe asked for input.  I don't think that I heard a final ruling. 

The only thing I can tell you, is this is the way it works.  You will have to decide.

This is the same as what I've been doing.

This is how I always done it. It was how Ken suggested (not the only suggestion... but the one made by Ken) in the Rules Committee Forum.  So that is what I am doing... at least until a final decision is made.
