Yes and point your finger to the sound you hear!

But could you actually point a finger to their voice appearance in the movie?

Do I really have to go and re-watch these movies right now, and then try to spot a few? Is that what it takes?

I have no real opinion in that matter, I just try to understand why do want them so badly. And you don't want them just for yourself, you try really hard to get them into the online database.

For me the cast list is about useful information and usability. That's the reason I abandoned DVDP cast data and replaced it with IMDb data (Yes I know, I said 'Jehova').

So you know that Lanei Chapman does additional voices in some movies. I know her from "Space: Above and Beyond". But if you can't really see or hear her in one of her "additional voice" movies - how useful is that information to you or anyone else?

Someone could ask that question for just about everyone we track. Why don't we just list the few "big stars"? How useful is a sound editor to you or anyone else? It's all in the eye of the beholder... The simple fact is: if these actors list these voice credits on their resumé's, then why should we decide otherwise?

For me it's just interesting to know on which movies a certain person has worked, not to know what voice he/she did in that particular movie.

OK, I understand that desire (to a point). But if you can't make her out in any way, when you can't say I saw or heard her at 1:03:51 how can that be a cast member?

For me it feels as if you are trying to enter them as cast because they don't fall under the default crew categories and you wouldn't be allowed to enter them as crew.

But that's just IMHO.

I watch quite a number of TV shows and often I muse from where I know a certain actor. Then I look it up. But that also means I can see and/or hear him in the original movie/series and in the other ones.

Totally useles. Except for director I have no crew whatsoever.

Don't know. But I can show you the rule that explicitly allows them.

Because we don't care for their birth name, their birth year (unless we absolutely need it), their height, their weight, their actual/current hair colour and whatever else you can imagine that is printed on their CVs.

If Will Smith would state on his CV that he voiced Dumbo in "Dumbo" I still wouldn't put him in the cast list - even when the ears do seem to match.

I only want to store the information in my database to know they participated.

OK, if you say so. I still don't understand it but that's ok, I don't have to. Since I have no personal interest in this debate I will withdraw from this debate now.

Well, that made me

I see that IMDb (to which you link above) classifies ADR as "Miscellaneous Crew". 

Ha! Let's see how willing to embrace IMDb's outlook on things Skip suddenly is going to be in a few moments. Usually, this would push him towards the exact opposite view, but I'm pretty sure this occasion will be the exception...
