| | Posted: | | | | In database we've more than one Mark Owen.
Mark Owen (1972) from the boygroup Take That.
And actor from, for example, the movie The 4th Floor. In some movies he seems to be also credited as Mark A. Owen.
If we take the CLT Mark A. Owen is not the most credited form.
Do we in this case also include the Birth Year for distinguishing or do we take the Mark A. Owen credited as ..., even if it's not the common name?
Thanks for the answers in advance. |

No matter how helpful the middle initial might be to differentiate between the two, it's not allowed if it's not the most-credited form. If this Mark A. Owen is mostly credited as "Mark Owen", then so be it - then "Mark Owen" is his common name for DVD Profiler purposes (which, in turns, prompts the need for birth years). |

| | Posted: | | | | Contributed the BY of the first Mark Owen on the above post and it got accepted. I know that it don't matches in the Contribution discussion forum, but I don't want to make a new thread for this. Is this the actor from "The Rainbow"?  Got this pic in a update (Can't say in which) of the headshot database, but I don't know to which actor it belongs.  |
