Auditing A Dirty Shame...

In the cast List it goes

Cast
Cast
Cast
Cast
...
(Blank Spot)
Special Appearance by  David Hasselhoff.

The question, Should this be listed as a Himself Credit or ?

You have the standard cast list, then a blank line(s) then

"Special Appearance by  David Hasselhoff"

Just like that.  No himself, or as himself.  Special Appearance appears on the same line as David (Not Above)

did you see the part where he appearred?  Did he appaear to be himself ?  or was he the angry customer..or the annoyed shopper in line..?  ( I haven' t seen the film , so don't know what type of role he showed up in..) Or did he appear  as himself (i.e. David Hasselhoff  ) to the other cast members??

Don't think it is strictly by the rules, but I would use a divider for this...

Special Appearance by

David Hasselhoff as Himself
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

This. And it's not the only case of it I've seen. I've got to have at least 15/20 credits exactly like this somewhere in my local. Wish I could recall specific cases at the moment.

This...but, I wouldn't even included Himself. Click on his name would still bring up the divider information and would be closer to what's displayed. Adding Himself is adding information that isn't there IMO.

The trouble I have with this

Hasselhoff did not play a role "Special Appearance by".  That is not a role designation.  The role he played was David Hasselhoff (Himself) as a passenger on a plane.

I like Martians idea, even though technically it doesn't mirror the credits.  It at least conveys a meaning.

According to the rules, we are able to ascertain roles from the film itself, when a role is not provided.

Personally, I could live with or without the role, just pointing out the rules.
