| | Posted: | | | | I'm a bit fuzzy on this. Let's use cartoons, for an example.
If an actor does multiple voices on a show, and there's no official cast list...how do we do that? Should one credit be used with the actor and all of the roles he/she plays, or should there be a separate entry in the credits for each role used? | | | "I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question:

| | Posted: | | | | When the actor's name appears only once in the credits, I don't see any reason to list him multiple times.
I like the way it's done with the Simpsons:
Dan Castellaneta as Homer Simpson/Grampa/Barney Gumble
Julie Kavner as Marge Simpson/Patty & Selma Bouvier
Nancy Cartwright as Bart Simpson/Nelson Muntz/Todd Flanders |

| | Posted: | | | | I can see numerous reasons to list an actor more than once, tarantino. The most obvious of which is the limited field length, sometimes we have data overflow, in such a case I would probably use two entries. We'll see what I think when I next run into it.

It would depnd on the film, sometimes actors get a single credit and a string of roles, and sometimes they get separate credits for each role. I have even seen actors taking two different credits for two different roles, or a crew preson taking one name for his crew work and a different name for his On Screen work.
Then there is the exception I mentioned where we have too much data for the field length.

Skip Right, but like I said, this is the example where there's no actual credits - The Simpsons is a good example. | | | "I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question:

To answer your question, I prefer multiple roles on a single line UNLESS they don't all fit. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | I rtead the post and tried to cover all the bases, and while I agree with your preference and would vote to support it, Unicus. At this juncture it is just that our PREFERENCE.

| | Posted: | | | | Either way is correct, since it is not covered in the Rules.
Prior to 3.0, only Unicus' preference was possible. Under 3.0, it can be done either way.
I have no preference either way. | | | | Hal |
