| | Posted: | | | | Okay so these last few months I've been having an X-Files marathon and had just finished the episode "The End" in season 5. While watching the episode I saw a character named Gibson Praise watching an episode of "The Simpsons" and "King of Hill," in which you see and hear the characters talking, so I decided to add them to the profile as uncredited, voice only roles. According to one voter though, we don't credit background voices from TV/radio/etc., which is something I never heard of all these years. I even looked at the credit rules see here and even the tv series rules, just to see if I missed something. And nothing said about not adding them. So should be added or just left alone?? | | | We're on a mission from God.

| | Posted: | | | | Absolutely would not add them as uncredited. They are not acting in the film, not contracted or hired as extras...why on earth would you credit them as though they did? | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection | | | | Last edited: by Bad Father |

| | Posted: | | | | Unless Homer Simpson appears as a talking character on the X Files, I would not add them. Also, I believe this has come up when talking about WW2 movies and we don't want to credit Adolf Hitler every time he appears on an old news reel...  | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

| | Posted: | | | | The stuff appearing on a background tv/radio in a film or tv show is a prop or set dressing or a plain old effect, nothing more. | | | | Last edited: by nolesrule |

| | Posted: | | | | unless the credit appears in the cast section for the movie, like in the Movie: Matador by Richard Shepard  where Arlin Miller gets a credit as Radio DJ (voice) | | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted.

Unless the animated characters on the TV are actually interacting with characters from the X-Files I would do as the OP wants. Otherwise if all it is that they are watching the show on TV as normal, then No I wouldn't include them in the cast. |

| | Posted: | | | | I agree with the others on this one... they should not be credited in these situations. | | | | Pete |
