| | Posted: | | | | Just a quick question: in credits for Hound of the Baskervilles there is one actor (Nicholas Clay) credited for three roles, which looks something like this:
role 1 \
role 2 | Nicholas CLay
role 3 /
My question is how I should enter this in profiler. Would it be a credit per role:
Nicholas Clay role 1
Nicholas Clay role 2
Nicholas Clay role 3
or one credit for all roles:
Nicholas Clay role 1/ role 2 / role 3 |

The first variant (per role). The second one you would use if also in the credits all roles are in one line. That's my thought as well, but I want to make sure. |

In addition to Tom's statement: If the roles are all in one line, but don't fit into the data-field of DVDProfiler, you can open up a new credit-line for this actor. This doesn't spoil any credit counts, it just secures the completeness of the rolenames. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | The way I handle it is I enter one entry for each role portrayed. So if there are three roles I would enter three credits. If the actor just has multiple identities (e.g. Clark Kent / Superman) I would enter that as one role.

Me too. I wouldn't If you do that, it looks like they are credited twice in the credits something they aren't. It's closer to 'as credited' to enter it on one line than on two in my opinion. But this is just another topic not covered by the rules. With regards to the original question: One credit per role | | |

But this is just another topic not covered by the rules. Since both methods prevent us from entering them 'as credited'...one has the actor listed twice, but has all the roles listed while the other has the actor listed once, but leaves out some of the roles...I have to go with the one that gives us all of the data. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
