| | Posted: | | | | There are many examples of an actor participating in a movie yet listed as "uncredited." The movie Zombieland lists "pages" of actors who are uncredited. Burning question: how does one verify an actor's participation if their name is not included with the film? I have read that many actors claimed to have participated in Birth of a Nation with the intention of padding their resume. And , since many actors wore sheets, padding resumes wasn't hard. An aspiring star could simply say, "I am the third sheet from the left."  What is the official source? | | | | Last edited: by danomite33 |

| | Posted: | | | | IF you can provide screen cap or a time stamp along with a description, Ok. Some alternatives would be if an actor is mentioned in a Ciommentary, Featurette, etc.

Yes, the time on the player and some idea of which person it is (hopefully a little better than "3rd sheet from the left").  A screen cap would be a snap of a frame of the film (pretty easy to do on a computer), but timestamp and description should be adequate most of the time. |

| | Posted: | | | | There is nothing in the rules defining an official source. It is up to the screeners to decide if the sources you provide are good enough. The key from what I've seen if to have multiple sites that all give the same information.
Just to clarify screen caps with time stamps are not a requirement. They are a preferred style of documentation for some here but Invelos has never required them and they are the ones that ultimately decide what is acceptable documentation. |

To give an example of this, there was a contribution last year that was accepted based solely on the contributor saying they knew the person. So no actual hard evidence is needed it seems. |

| | Posted: | | | | Just as a friendly FYI, Invelos has a "Contribution Discussion" forum group which is dedicated to questions such as this. This forum group is called "General Discussion". | | | | Last edited: by Dr. Killpatient |
