? is also credited as The Monster's Mate in Bride of Frankenstein - who is in this case Elsa Lanchester.  It's listed that way (Elsa Lanchester credited as ?) in my profile of that film.

It's also the case with Boris Karloff in the original Frankenstein and he is listed this way in DVDP

Boris Karloff (?) as The Monster

and not

? as The Monster
(...)
Boris Karloff (uncredited) as The Monster

I'm sure there is more case than those 2 (or 3 if we count the movie we talk about here)

I don't think this will create a CLT problem as Skip fears.  After all, what can be done is to document the various different ways a single actor is credited in all of that actor's films, and since I don't think we're going to see the same actor credited in multiple films in that fashion, it shouldn't cause any conflicts.


I agree, see also Alan Smithee, or Allen Smithee, Alan Smythee and Adam Smithee.

I haven't pulled out my copy to check it yet, but from what I understand it should be
Anthony Dawson [?] as Ernst Blofeld where ? is credited on screen.
And at the end of the credits
Eric Pohlmann as Ernst Blofeld's Voice (voice) (uncredited) with documentation.


Why would Anthony Dawson be entered as such when we only see part of his body? Is that more important than the bloke supplying the voice?


The bloke supplying the voice I would consider a voice-over actor. The same as Barbara Jefford who supplied the voice for Tatiana in the same film. She wasn't credited in the film she is a (uncredited, voice) credit.

Mark Hamill [?] as Merlin (voice) in Wing Commander
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.

We have also similar cases as in "Mute Witness", where Alec Guinness is credited as "Mystery Guest Star".
