Wasn't that easy?
Seriously, I've never seen him use his real name (James Todd Smith) in any movie credits yet. I wouldn't be shocked if he started to if he continues to thrive in Hollywood though. I'm sure LL is on the cats lists already, how is/was it entered there originally?
For now he's definitly more commonly known as LL, and those who don't listen to his music wouldn't even know who James Tood Smith is. Wouldn't that mean he should be "LL credited as.." if JTS shows up in some credits? May be easy, but its wrong. 'LL Cool J' is a stage name, and by the rules HAS to be entered in the First Name block. Any other way is not an option. | | | John

I was just joking about it and was hoping to find out the proper method of entering a name like this without reading the rules again and again in case I ever come across one not already on the crew list. I tend to miss stuff when it's all together, but a single post about a single question sticks. Thanks. |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting 8ballMax: Quote: He has no film credits as James Todd Smith. He is more commonly credited in his films as LL Cool J. Really? What is: End credits...Deacon "Deke" Kaye JAMES TODD SMITH aka LL COOL Jif it's not a film credit? Maybe he has no other film credits as James Todd Smith, but I think the S.W.A.T. end credits show he's credited that way at least once. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole) Badges?

| Posted: | | | | Twice actually... maybe even a third time, I don't pay attention to credits at start of m0ves that much anymore.
But, when the moviie ends they run thru the main stars and it appears for the first time as "James Todd Smith aka LL COOL J" then in the credits roll as "Deacon "Deke" Kaye JAMES TODD SMITH aka LL COOL J".
I just found it as an odd credit. Just lucky we now have the common name feature otherwise this would be a real nightmare. | | | Signature banned: Reason out of date... | | | Last edited: by NewEnglander |
