Hello all... 
I would like to contribute a common name thread for Make-up/Special Effects artist Bart Mixon / Bart J. Mixon (1958-).
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0594298/

Primarily known for working on movies such as Captain America: Civil War, Hellboy series, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and many others.

CLT shows:
Bart Mixon is credited in 52 titles (340 profiles)
Bart J. Mixon is credited in 42 titles (336 profiles)

Note: I am only including what I could determine from the CLT that are actually Make-up or Special Effects artist credits in the database.  Feel free to confirm any additional that you may have.  Thanks!

While it is true that Bart Mixon is credited as a Puppeteer in the Cast section for these movies, I was not sure that those credits should be counted and included in his Crew section credits, so I left those out.

Let this Technician credit in and it would open the door for the 10,000s of Special Effects Technicians that are credited. Which I am all for, I track them in my personal DB.

This film has 35 credited Special Effects Technicians.

I'm a little confused here.  Either "Effects Technician" should be considered a valid credit, or should it not?  I'll adjust the count depending on what most of you folks think it should be.    Thanks again!

If it's him, it should be counted.

We use the most commonly credited name for a person. It doesn't matter if those credits come from the cast or the crew section, they 100% should be included in your totals.

What if he was credited as Bart Mixon more times as a puppeteer in the cast section, but more times as Bart J. Mixon in various roles in the crew section?

We'd have a common name for the cast of Bart Mixon and a common name for the crew as Bart J. Mixon? Doesn't work like that. Cast and crew are interchangeable when we're trying to figure out a common name.
