| | Posted: | | | | Does the well known Bradley Cooper star in Day of the Dead 2: Contagium?
IMDB says they are two different actors.
However I can't find any pictures of this other Bradley Cooper on the net. So no way to confirm one way or the other.
Can someone who owns Day of the Dead 2: Contagium check and see? |

| | Posted: | | | | The movie is up on youtube for free and whole. I just scanned through a few scenes, then remembered how amazingly bad this one was (the first Day remake with Nick Cannon was at least entertaining, this is just low budget crap). Then I checked IMBD and the role as just one of many infected have me nearly positive it is not the famous one. By 2005 he was doing lots of good TV work, can't imagine he was hurting enough to be covered in bad makeup for a cameo in a DTV shiitake mushroomfest. I mean if he was in this, then he would be a 100000000X better actor than the rest of the cast combined, in a small speechless role as a zombie.  Also seeing this is the only role ever listed for this guy (I know IMDB isn't always perfect on these, but they are usually in the ballpark) has me thinking friend of a friend on screen for a second or 2. In fact, going through and watching a few more minutes of the opening with many "infected" on screen, I will now bet body parts this is not the famous guy! The question is, does the real Bradley need a BY because this horrible movie exists? I'd recommend anyone who has this movie to give the fake guy a fake BY, or just throw it out. If there are fans who have it for anything other than completest sake, please chime in. I bet there are none! |

Enter birth years only when necessary to differentate between two actors with the same name. When submitting a contribution that adds a new birth year to one or more credits, list justification in the contribution notes. So to answer your question, the answer is yes, the well known Bradley Cooper would need a birth year. There is no requirement of how many titles the other person is in, just that the other person exists. But I'll wait till and see if there is anyone else that can confirm it either way. |

| | Posted: | | | | If the zombie role Bradley Cooper isn't the famous one, but is in the credits for this B (C? F?) movie, then the rules say we should give the famous Cooper the BY, for rational reasons. |

| | Posted: | | | | Agreed with the others. Assuming it's a different BC, which is likely. we have to treat all movie roles the same way regardless of movie quality. We're archivists, not movie critics, at least where DVD Profiler is concerned. The challenge of course will be trying to find a BY for the obscure BC. That's my biggest issue with using birth years: sometimes they are impossible to determine. But those are the rules currently. | | | | Last edited: by AndyEN |

| | Posted: | | | | I guess you're all right, I just hate adding a BY to someone because of instances like this. It's all good, I'll just keep off my local, like I do for all the BY's cuz a gay porn star shares their name. Figure I'll never own any of those, so I'll never need the BY.  Just have to remember to add it back in case of any contribution. Thankfully I get reminded when I submit.  |
