In the version with Brendan Fraser, the profile I have list all of their roles on one line. However, all of the roles won't fit.

I can't do screencaps, but I'll replicate how the end credits look below.


Dan
Esteban
Beach Jock                        ORLANDO JONES
Sportscaster
African Party Guest

Bob
Roberto
Beach Jock                        PAUL ADELSTEIN
Sportscaster
Lincoln Aide


Currently the profile display the following

Orlando Jones as Dan/Esteban/Beach Jock/Sportscaster/Afri
Paul Adelstein as Bob/Roberto/Beach Jock/Sportscaster/Linc


I was thinking of doing one of two things.

1. As in the current, but add a second entry for them to include the roles that won't fit into one field.
IE:
Orlando Jones as Dan/Esteban/Beach Jock/Sportscaster/
Orlando Jones as African Party Guest
Paul Adelstein as Bob/Roberto/Beach Jock/Sportscaster/
Paul Adelstein as Lincoln Aide


2. Divide the roles into one field apiece.
IE:
Orlando Jones as Dan
Orlando Jones as Esteban
Orlando Jones as Beach Jock
Orlando Jones as Sportscaster
Orlando Jones as African Party Guest
etc.


Which is the best way to handle this in your opinion?

I say #2, because it better replicates how the roles are presented in the credits.

Agreed! Here's a screencap of the beginning of the cast list:



And here's the first part of the cast list in my profile:

Brendan Fraser as Elliot
Elizabeth Hurley as The Devil
Frances O'Connor (1967) as Alison/Nicole
Miriam Shor as Carol
Miriam Shor as Penthouse Hostess
Orlando Jones as Dan
Orlando Jones as Esteban
Orlando Jones as Beach Jock
Orlando Jones as Sportscaster
Orlando Jones as African Party Guest
Paul Adelstein as Bob
Paul Adelstein as Roberto
Paul Adelstein as Beach Jock
Paul Adelstein as Sportscaster
Paul Adelstein as Lincoln Aide (...)

Note the difference between Frances O'Connor's role name ("Alison/Nicole") and the others - I feel this approach is the most accurate reflection of these different credits we can reach in DVD Profiler. Oh, and while you're at it: don't forget Frances O'Connor's birth year (click!)...

That's how I would do it as well.

Agreed. #2 seems to be the correct way of doing it.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I thought it had been agreed that we should be using #2 for this situation?
(I.e what people have said).

It used to be that roles had to be on one line - but the system was changed so we could use more than 1 line.
