this is what i would like to get:
one CLT for Cast
and one for Crew
and in Crew options to search more detailed for and/or Writing, Sound, Art and so on...

I think in this way would outcome much more reliable results.

What do you think about it?

@ Kluge
Hi Luigi, i don't understand why...
If we have a "Tom /Thomas Smith" in Crew as well as in Cast, why can't we seperate them?
Most of the time it is a different Person?

More important than separating between cast and crew would (IMO) be if the CLT would eventually be able to distinguish between already existing de-linking (i.e. BY).

This would really help a lot.

Is it possible? Yes.

Will it be done? No.

Why?

I've given up hope. This issue has been raised and countless threads posted requesting invelos deal with this and other problems. Nothing is ever done.

Why should this time be different? In my opinion, it won't.

At home in our Profiler they are in different data bases.

And that's the problem that should be fixed, not the other way around. When I click on someone's name in DVD Profiler, I want to be able to see all his credits, both in the cast and the crew sections.

This... and it has been my experience at least that more times then not they are the same person. But that may be because I concentrate more on TV Series then movies... and you see a lot of the main stars getting crew credits whether they end up with producer credits or decide to direct an episode here and there.

I totally disagree with that. When I'm searching for Clint Eastwood's movies as an actor, I do not want to get his credits as Director. And same for the contrary. The program is perfect as it is for this point, and any other solution should be optional.

This happens in Hollywood all the time. Kevin Costner and George Clooney come to mind - started as actors they are now producers, directors, writers...

And there are lots of cameos of directors in movies or even crew members who get to play small roles in low budget movies.

Searching for an actor in the database has nothing to do with separating / combining cast & crew. You would still be able to search for Clint Eastwood as an actor, because this information will still be stored in each profile.
