I am in the process of updating my database and I am getting plenty of requests of "there is a new profile", etc. On checking some of these new profiles, a few of them have updated the overview, the only difference in some cases is the leaving out of previous actors' credits, etc.

According to the rules:

"Copy the overview from the back of the DVD case exactly as written, including capitalization of words exactly as shown on the back of the case. Separate all paragraphs with a blank line.

Use the Bold and/or Italic features for any words in the overview that are bold and/or italic as needed to match the case."

My question is, do I ignore these new profiles and keep mine local, or do I upload the profile to DVDP?

If you have an original release, and the actor's previous credits are listed as part of the overview, then you should contribute the corrections.  The rule is clear, as you pointed out, we copy it exactly and leave nothing out.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.
