is this appropriate? I am going to give you a different answer...these are not cast dividers, they are group role credits. For these you would enter the group role into each additional role field for the actors. Dividers are used to seperate credits. Dividers, in my opinion, look like this: Cops John Smith Detective Sam Sampson Officer Jones Simply put, if there are individual roles, it is a divider. If there aren't, it is a group credit. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.

Simply put, if there are individual roles, it is a divider. If there aren't, it is a group credit. Concur | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

| Posted: | | | | See and I see dividers in a differant way, Beowulf is a perfect example, you have you cast credits then a blank line and Aditional Adult Performers and a blank line then Voice Performer.
Using this example if you use dividers where the blankl lines are there is no need to show cast-role for those Aditional Adult and Voice Performers its just doubling up. |

If you use a divider instead of a Role for the Actor then the role is not associated with the name. If you look at the credits for a specific actor you won't know what they did in this movie because the info is trapped in a divider. My goal is not to emulate the credit structure but to convey information and as you want to use dividers that won't happen. | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

| Posted: | | | | Right but for this example they are only Adult Performers and Voice Performers they have no role anyway.
Another example I would use is AI Artificial Intelligence how the differant types are divided and this was approved.Or the approved Stardust.
I do see what you mean by the role though. To me it still seems like a break in the cast when they have spaced lines like that.
What about a divider for Adult Performers name role
is this acceptible? | | | Last edited: by Mike |

A.I. is an example of the proper use of cast dividers...in my opinion. Stardust, is not...again, in my opinion. The fact that Stardust has been accepted doesn't mean it is correct, it just means it was accepted. Quote: I do see what you mean by the role though.

is this acceptible? I wouldn't do it that way. I would enter the group role into each role field and leave the divider out. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| Posted: | | | | Quoting Mike: Quote: Right but for this example they are only Adult Performers and Voice Performers they have no role anyway. Of course they have a Role...either Adult or Voice Performer. Just because the roles are non-specific doesn't mean it isn't good info. The way you originally proposed doing it no one can link the role with the performer. Quote: I do see what you mean by the role though. To me it still seems like a break in the cast when they have spaced lines like that. Who benefits from conveying that space in the film credits into our credits? | | | Bad movie?
