| | Posted: | | | | In one episode of Star Trek - TNG Brent Spiner played several roles
1. Lt. Commander Data (credited in the opening credits)
2. Lore / Dr. Soong (in the end-credits)
how should we list these 3 roles in the cast-lists?
I personally would prefer Option 3, because he acted in 3 different roles, so there should be 3 seperate entries for that...
Looking forward to you decision... | | | regards, Mad -

If he is double billed withe separate roles then list as such, which is what it appears to be with one credit in the opening for his permanent role and one in the end for his "guest starring" role. Two entries Lore / Dr. Soong
Option 3 is user interpretation and does not follow the Rules.

Looking forward to you decision... I too would go for Option 3, as I think it would appear tidier when viewing in the cast list. Steve |

| | Posted: | | | | Personally, I would like to see them split up and listed separately as the cast list now happily allows you to do this, but in this particular case I would have to agree with Skip and say option 2, as this is how the rules indicate it should be done.
This is "as credited" and is better than how we would have used to have listed it (option 1) in v2.x | | | Gavin.

IMHO it's not really mentioned in the Rules how to handle this case... What don't you understand "with names and roles listed exactly as they are in the credits and in exactly the same order credited" Option 3 is your interpretation and does not follow the above Skip  | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | Hmm, I may have made a mistake in a profile I just submitted. Is there a way to take back your submission?
This was my first submission other then a new scan, or a new title. If not I expect No votes that will correct me. (And I even printed out the rules, I just may have misread them.)

Bobb Just make the correction and resubmit. It will automatically go over the top of the older one. Or if you want, you can go to Contributions via My Profiler, clicking on the title of the DVD will give you the Withdraw option. |

| | Posted: | | | | On the topic I have to vote for option 2... if it is in the credits as "Lore / Dr. Soong" Then that is the way it should be in DVD Profiler as the rules state characters has to be exactly as in the credits too.
The only time I would go away from that and split them up is if there is not enough room and the character names get cut off... then I feel it is better to separate them and get both credited names in that way. | | | | Pete |

What don't you understand
"with names and roles listed exactly as they are in the credits and in exactly the same order credited"
Option 3 is your interpretation and does not follow the above
Skip So it's: Brent Spiner ... Lt. Commander Data Brent Spiner ... Lore / Dr. Soong" vs. Brent Spiner ... Lt. Commander Data Brent Spiner ... Lore Brent Spiner ... Dr. Soong Both variants are conform with "with names and roles listed exactly as they are in the credits and in exactly the same order credited", because the Names (in case "Brent Spiner") and the roles (in case Data, Lore, Dr. Soong) has exactly the typo as in the credits, and they are exactly in the same order... | | | regards, Mad -

What don't you understand, its not hard the On Screen credit tells you how to handle it. Domn't apply your personal preference or Opinion. I see things all the time that I might do differently but the rules tell me what to do if I want to Contribute the data. It's NOT hard.
IF Option 2 is how it reads On Screen then that is how you do it.

| | Posted: | | | | Actually that is not exactly as credited in the end creidts.. Only "Lore / Dr. Soong" Would be exactly as in the end credits.
If you break them up they are no longer exactly as in the credits. | | | | Pete |
