I am currently profiling Gilmore Girls Season 1 (7321931717670) for cast and crew with dividers.

The profile had a single cast list. It contained numerous guest stars with roles attached to them. I have no idea where the info came from.

The main cast roles are listed in the booklet. The cast in the end credits have roles listed. The guest cast listed in the main credits has no roles. I was able to verify certain guest roles using Wikipedia, but not all of them. I can find the missing roles at www.tv.com, but this is an invalid 3rd party database, and it would be a license violation

How would you profile the guest cast. No roles, exactly as credited. Or do I fill in the roles I can find at Wikipedia?

Regards,
Chris

If you can find another database that agrees with tv.com then you can use the role names, quoting both databases as sources.
Or even better - if there is an official Gilmore Girls website with the info - that can be used as it's not 3rd party.

Just a FYI, theres a US release that has the cast/crew for the 7 seasons. Might work as a good base if your doing them. I, being lazy and all just copied them to the finnish profiles

I would add the roles found in wikipedia, the GG site or what they are called in the actual episodes, i think its valuable information to have them.

You can use any source for missing role names:

If an actor is credited by name but does not have an associated role, you may use another source to identify the role. In each case, list Actor’s names and roles (when given) exactly as they are in the credits and in exactly the same order credited.

Thanks for the feedback.

Sadly the official site does not have any cast info. I did find a Gilmore Wikipedia at http://gilmorepedia.com/index.php?title=Main_Page which contains a lot of the cast.

Thanks "Whispering" for the tip. I already look to the profiles in the US, but I didn't check the ones with the disc ID's, and they indeed contain the complete cast and crew. This saves me a lot of time.

Now I only need to verify instead of doing the actual typing.

RHo is correct, the rules allow for using another source.  I have used www.tv.com many times, included it in my notes as the source, and gotten approval.
