Could somebody help me find the most common name used for this actor?
I stumbled on him when editing Miss Congeniality.
According to imdb he has 4 alternate names.
Daniel T. Kamin | Daniel Tucker Kamin | Daniel Kamin | Dan Kamin
On imdb they use Danny Kamin as his main name but i seeing Daniel three times in the alternate names so i would think that his most common first name would be Daniel.
Here are the CLT results

Danny Kamin 34 titles (52 profiles)
Daniel T. Kamin 7 titles (14 profiles)
Daniel Tucker Kamin 67 titles (166 profiles)
Daniel Kamin 38 titles (65 profiles)
Dan Kamin 6 titles (19 profiles)

So is it safe to say Daniel Tucker Kamin is the right one?
Choices choices choices.

Anyway thanks in advance for any reaction

Greetings,

Jeroen

Based on just your message Daniel Tucker Kamin is common.  The question is how many movies do you have with him and can you determine if there are a lot of profiles using the incorrect variant of his name. 

If you can show that there are a lot of incorrect entries under a name that might move the choice to another version of the name.  For example i only have this guy in The Rookie where is credited as Daniel Kamin.  I note there are 14 Daniel Tucker Kamin profiles for The Rookie.  If these are shifted to the correct name:

Daniel Tucker Kamin (152 profiles)
Daniel Kamin (79 profiles)

There are corrections to be made here but i'll stick with the As Credited name for my profile for now.

I was expecting this one... IMDb strikes again: it's important to know that until recently, "Daniel Tucker Kamin" was the IMDb-name - they only switched to "Danny" recently. That explains the large number of profiles under that variant: you'll find profiles for pretty much ALL titles under that one. Most of these are obviously wrong, so for now, my money is on "Daniel Kamin". Checking my own titles, and a close look at the CLT results and various other sources gets me at this:

Dan Kamin:
- Another Pair of Aces: Three of a Kind (a.k.a. The Regulators)
- Challenger
- Diary of a Hitman

Daniel Kamin:
- Lonesome Dove
- Miss Congeniality
- The Pelican Brief
- The Rookie
- The X Files: The Complete Fourth Season
- What the Deaf Man Heard
- Young Guns

Daniel T. Kamin:
- The Newton Boys
- Rough Riders
- Runaway Jury

Daniel Tucker Kamin:
- America's Dream
- The Bodyguard
- Superboy: The Complete First Season
- Traces of Red

Danny Kamin:
- Dead Birds

VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE: the "Dan Kamin" in 'Benny & Joon' and 'Creepshow 2' is a different one than the one all the other credits refer to. This is confirmed by Dan Kamin's own official website at www.dankamin.com/hollywood. So these titles should be left out when trying to determine the other Mr. Kamin's "common name".

There are also a few 'Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles' entries, but he's (uncredited) in that one, so those entries also should be ignored when looking for the "common name".

So you see: it seems that "Daniel Kamin" is the most-credited form. As always - feel free to help out and point out any errors that I made have made if you own one of those titles and know it to be in the wrong stack.

by the looks of it on his website:

the common name should be: Dan//Kamin (1947)
with his birthyear 1947  as there are 2 Dan Kamin's.

No, I already addressed that issue. Birth years aren't necessary, as the common name for the Dan Kamin from www.dankamin.com is indeed just "Dan Kamin", and the common name for the other one is "Daniel Kamin". No need for birth years whatsoever.
