I see no information that defines that Michael the Sound Guy and Mike the ACTOR are the same person, would someone care to verify that BEFORE trying to assign a Common Name.. While it is POSSIBLE they are the same, I think in this instance it far more likely that they are NOT the same person.

Hmmmmm

I think you are correct, martin. Locally the BY would not be needed, in theory, since at this time the Crew and Cast Dbs are separate. But Online they are not so BY data would be necessary to keep the Actor separate from the Sound Guy.

In fact for this particular case it would seem that the CLT would be worthless without a BY to separate the results for one from the other.

There are a lot more people named M. Hopkins.   So, this is not just a problem for the sound guy's credit.

and ask him what film or tv productions he worked on? He could be none of the above.

Quoting Martin_Zuidervliet:

Quote:

Well I did and spoke 15 minutes with him on the phone, and he informed me that the other Mike (which full name and most credited name is Michael) Hopkins who also works on Sound Crews, lives in New Zealand, did not worked on half of the movies that are mentioned on this page of the IMDb. So, I shall withdraw my LotR contributions because they are incorrect.

Martin,

congrats for making the phone call. Can you give more details what Mike Hopkins (AMPS, GBFE) (SOUND) did work on? And have you also details on Michael Hopkins of New Zea Land?
