I've just submitted a change to a profile to make the common name of this writer/actor Al Hunter Ashton even though the CLT gives Al Ashton the lead. And I thought I'd better post something here too, so people can look at the evidence and verify my findings or prove them wrong.
I don't have access to all the titles mentioned so I had to verify a lot of these credits using 3rd party databases (you know the ones...)

I went through all the entries for all his names: Al Ashton, Al Hunter Ashton, Al Hunter and Al Hunter-Ashton.
Comparing the results to the databases and combining all the foreign name variants I got this list:

Al Ashton
A Fish Called Wanda - confirmed
Wire In The Blood
Chef
Inspector Morse - confirmed

Al Hunter Ashton
Treasure Island
Mr Bean - confirmed
Gladiator - confirmed
Jekyll - confirmed
From Hell - confirmed
10th Kingdom - confirmed
Ever After - confirmed
The Killing Kind (Killing Angel, A Murder Ballad)
The Wedding Tackle

Al Hunter
Tales From The Crypt
Jing: King of Bandits
The Firm (writer)

Al Hunter-Ashton
The Brittas Empire
Urban Gothic - confirmed

Now the CLT gives the results Al Ashton (74/215) and Al Hunter Ashton (31/103) but in this case I don't think we can go by these results as I know that at least all the Al Ashton in Gladiator profiles are wrong, and there's a lot of them!

I see nothing that supports Al Hunter Ashton=Al Hunter=Al Ashton. I see a major assumption based on the CLT. I would vote No without more documentation.

Thanks Behemot.
Ideally I'd like 10th Kingdom and Ever After confirmed too as after Gladiator they have the greatest number of profiles.

'Chef' (episode 'The Big Cheese'): Al Ashton.

Common name is still Al Hunter Ashton, though.

Already? Actually this was the first/original common name-finding thread for him, but still, I'll add it to the later thread as well.

Yes, but the other one is more complete... If there is more than one common name thread for a person, I only list the better one in my list of common namee threads (if there were mutually exclusive confirmations, I brought the threads up while collecting them): in this case it was Pantheon's, though it isn't maintained anymore either 
Complete list of Common Names  •  A good point for starting with Headshots (and v11.1)
