| | Posted: | | | | Unless they are playing siamese twins it's obvious to me that these are two roles played by two people, and they should be entered separately.
If anybody asks "What did Anne Ramsey play" would you answer "She played Woman & Man in Shelter, and by the way, so did Logan Ramsey" ? No, you wouldn't. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

I believe that would be against the rules and I would vote no to it... as the rules say...
Rules Quote:
Quote:
For any film with standard credits, take the actor information from the end credits only, with names and roles listed exactly as they are in the credits and in exactly the same order credited. Exception: If the credit information is entirely capitalized, use standard capitalization rules instead.
As you see in what I put in bold the role has to be exactly per the Credits. Without that I would definitely vote no.
I think how I would do it to be correct per the rules...
Woman and Man in Shelter (Divider as this is 1 role for two or more people)
Anne Ramsey [Anne and Logan Ramsey]
Logan Ramsey [Anne and Logan Ramsey] This is the exact way I would do this one including credited as. | | | | Marty - Registered July 10, 2004, User since 2002. |

| | Posted: | | | | You don't always see a divider... just like
Role Name..... Cast Name
Cast Name
Cast Name
Cast Name
We don't see a divider... but it is still an instance that we use a divider. I believe we use a divider any time there is a single role (whether you see this case as a single role or not is debatable) for more then one cast member... if there is a divider or not. | | | | Pete |

I believe we use a divider any time there is a single role (whether you see this case as a single role or not is debatable) for more then one cast member... if there is a divider or not. That's not he same at all. There is no role name associated directly with each of those cast names. There is one role listed and four names. In the example in the OP there are two people and two roles listed. What really aggravates me is when I see people taking a film credit that looks like this: Cast Name - Shopper Cast Name - Shopper Cast Name - Shopper Cast Name - Shopper and they create a divider called 'Shopper' and list the four cast names below with no role name. This happens all the time! | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

| | Posted: | | | | That I would never do... and if I see it done would vote no to every time. Matter of fact I straightened out a couple people on that more then once since getting the dividers.
Now on this case... the role being more then one role.. that is debatable... there is those of use that reads it as 1 role for 2 people. On that we will just have to agree to disagree... as I refuse to argue about it since I seen all of what was said earlier... and I personally just don't agree and will just let that part drop from here on out. As in my opinion if it is formatted as one role it should be formatted as one role in profiler. Different people will read such a thing differently... it is what it is. But I will not argue that point any further. | | | | Pete |

The problem is that not many people actually check the film credits when they are voting to find out exactly how it appears there, so a bunch of these have already gotten accepted. | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |
