In the movie he does voices and appears as a "real-life" character called "The Man Upstairs".

Problem is that the voice only check-box is applied to all three roles because they are credited on one line.

Is there any way to accurately show that the role of "The Man Upstairs" is a non voice only credit that can be contributed? Or is this something that can only be local?

Sadly I suspect that the answer is the latter.

I haven't had a chance to look at the credits, but is the live action role credited?  If yes, then it is not a 'voice only' role.  Though it is animated, mostly, so I am not sure on this one.  If it is not credited, then I think you can add him as 'uncredited' for that role.

It is credited. But it's all on one line, which includes the voice-only Roles.

That's the problem.

If he has a single credit for all 3 roles and one is live action, it's not voice only.

I had submitted the cast list and checked the voice box basically because of the three roles, only one was live action. But if it's changed, I can see why. It's just one of those odd ball credits.

I would agree with this, voice only is voice only.  If even one of the roles is not voice only (and all roles are listed together) then it should not be checked.

What is more disconcerting is the makers of this movie did not break up the credits to more follow OUR standards.  DVDP is more important. Didn't they get the memo!!!  It's an outrage!!!
