I wanted to find out how accurate some of these title assignments are, and I need your help before assigning a Common Name.  There are duplicate assignments of this Crew member's name to titles within the Credit Lookup Table, and a manual count of the titles indicate that the totals may be closer than is reported there.  I realize how difficult it can be to look through TV episodes to find credited names, and appreciate your efforts in doing this research. 
Thanks much to you guyz and galz for your help and responses!
