But that is not a role, it is three roles.  Look how the credit is worded and punctuated: 

"as the Berserker Predator, Tracker Predator & Falconer Predator".  Three individual roles.

I read it the same way...three individual roles, played by two individuals as opposed to  a group played by a group.

To continue

If we have animated roles and in the credits it says

actor    character a/character b/ character c

we do not break up the roles for the single actor (unless the line is to long, then break at appropriate place)

Although, in my local I will treat them as separate rolls, From my readings and from previous discussions it is treated as one roll.

So why should we treat this any different, just because it happens to be multiple rolls for multiple actors?

Me too.

I think people are confusing a "group role" with multiple roles.  They are not the same thing.

I think the same thing.  This is how I use dividers:

A group of people playing a group would get a divider.
A group of people playing a single role would get a divider.
Multiple individuals playing individual roles would not get a divider.

In this thread some say this isn't a Group Role i assume because the names appear above the role(s) as opposed to below them

[snip]

Again the Role appears below the names

So are these Group Roles and therefor a Group Divider should be used or should only individual credits be used?

It's not the position of the names and roles above or below that determines whether it's a group role or not. I'm curious as to how you made that assumption from the first thread since no one mentioned that as a factor in the determination.

I am still trying to get an answer.  How would YOU credit them.

There really are only 4 choices


A single Group
Berserker Predator, Tracker Predator & Falconer Predator
Carey L. Jones
Brian Steele

Multiple Groups
Berserker Predator
Carey L. Jones
Brian Steele

Tracker Predator
Carey L. Jones
Brian Steele

Falconer Predator
Carey L. Jones
Brian Steele

2 individual with group roles
Carey L Jones  as Berserker Predator, Tracker Predator & Falconer Predator
Brian Steele as Berserker Predator, Tracker Predator & Falconer Predator

6 individual credits (or some variant)

Carey L. Jones as Berserker Predator
Carey L. Jones as Tracker Predator
Carey L. Jones as Falconer Predator
Brian Steele as Berserker Predator
Brian Steele as Tracker Predator
Brian Steele as Falconer Predator

The last one would be silly in my opinion.

Option 2 and 3 would not  present as presented in the credits. (Mirror the Credits)

I see it the way it is presented.  It is 1 line of roles, call it multiple roles if you like, but they are still presented together as a single line with multiple actors credited with them. 

It is no different than when 1 person is credited with multiple roles on 1 line.  We do not break up those Roles either (unless they are too long for 1 line).

I answered this in the original Predator thread, so didn't think to answer it here as well.

Quote:

This is how I would enter them.

If we are being honest, neither is option 1. 

I hadn't realized you answered it there.  And while your statement is true, it would represent closer than breaking up the credits.  I just don't see it that way.  To each his own.
