I miss the option "Not at all". 

I have brought that up in another discussion recently (I think when the dancers were discussed). I was getting mixed responses, some saying they are not in the cast section, so they do not get credited at all, others saying that it doesn't matter and they should get credited.

Personally I voted for entering with (uncredited). (Any needed documentation is right on the disc...)

The way that I've handled any is how Addicted2DVD stated: Common Name -> Role (Uncredited) using check box

A recent DVD that I was profiling (The Matrix -- UPC: 085391773726) has this scenario.

We all know that Andy and Larry Wachowski are the Directors & Writers, but did you know that they appear in the actual movie as well?? Check out time index 12m06s... that's the two brothers washing the windows of Neo's boss' office window.

They are of course properly credited in the crew section but not credited at all in the cast section.  So although I didn't make the original contribution listing the brothers as uncredited windowwashers, I did check it out and researched it a bit.

If I understand this question right... why not?  As long as a person is not credited for a role.. and can be documented that they have a role in the movie... why shouldn't they get an uncredited cast spot in profiler?

Like in example... Stephen King makes an appearance in most all his movies... but not credited in some of them. He shouldn't get an uncredited spot just because he is in the crew list as a writer?

And what about "The Birds" Alfred Hitchcock is a credited director... but he should not be in the cast list as Alfred Hitchcock as Man Walking Dogs out of Pet Shop (uncredited)... like he is now?

Don't understand why a crew member should not get credit for an uncredited cast role. 

See... I am not sure that is what he meant... and will have to wait for Martin to clarify... but he said in his original post that the person is "part of the credited crew"... that makes me think they are credited as a writer/director (whatever) but is also spotted in a movie for uncredited. And he is wondering if he should use his common name (Credited Crew Name) -  Role (Uncredited)... since he is credited as a crew member in the movie. Or if he should use common name - Role (Uncredited) since even though he is credited... it is in the crew not the cast... so should be able to credit him as his common name.

Martin... Please correct me if I am misunderstanding you.

If you look I said from the start as long as it can be documented. If it can be documented then they have the right to be added.

And there is times when it could be a need for a common name... take for example... Stephen King. He did The Running Man under his other name Richard Bachman. So if he is credited in running man as Richard Bachman - OMB (or whatever his credit is) it is well known that Richard Bachman is Stephen King... how does he get credited?

Crew:
Stephen King (Richard Bachman) - OMB (or whatever)

and if he had an uncredited role in it... would it be

Cast:
Stephen King (Richard Bachman) - Role (uncredited) (since that is how he is credited in the crew section)?
or
Stephen King - Role (Uncredited)

Since he is not credited in the cast list so you can use his common name for his name?

At least that is what I think he is getting at.

and once again... that is IF it can be documented ONLY.

oops

Where exactly did Martin propose to use IMDb for documentation?

He made no comments about Documentation, deejay. As for the rest I believe that I have stated and will restate that over LONG experience, Martin has taught me to be highly skeptical of his suggestions.
