| Posted: | | | | Another try. I just re-contribute two profiles Väristyksiä (Tremors 1) and Lain pitkä käsivarsi (The Desperate Trail). Both profiles are localised to finnish language. Changes to profiles are now listed and hopefully released. If not then I hope someone to help me with these profiles? | | | Last edited: by Travel-log |

| Posted: | | | | There are lots of possibilities, Bonus materials on discs will sometimes mention (uncredited), screen caps and/or time stamps to help in identifying the individual. An actor's website, which migh mention such work. The more documentation the better. Be wary of Online sources, unless you can line up several unrelated sources which is pretty hard to do, a lot of websites license their data from elsewhere. (Uncredited) data because of its nature is the perfect place to plant tracking data (poison pill) in ordere to be able to spot violations of their copyright.

| Posted: | | | | I just had a profile rejected on a disc that had no cast credited in the film itself; there were 3 actors credited on the case, but they happened to be the same 3 actors listed as uncredited cast on the IMDB. I stated I took the uncredited cast from the box, but it was rejected. So I resubmitted with a longer explanation of the circumstances and the profile was approved. Sometimes it just takes a patient re-explanation. | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |

| Posted: | | | | Captions, especially Closed Captions, can sometimes be helpful, too. I am in the midst of profiling the first season of Pickett Fences. Like many US TV Series, role names are not given for the principal guest cast - so I've been starting to use IMDB (gasp!) as a jumping off point for those role names, then modifying them based on watching the episode itself. In one episode, a credited actor played a doctor ("Surgeon" according to IMDB.) While he was never identified by name on the soundtrack, the Captioning showed his character name along with his spoken line (e.g., Zawoski: [dialog]). This may not be the best way to get credit information, but it IS on the DVD. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole) Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges.
