I’ve just been auditing Show Me Love.  The existing information in the database lists 62 people as Extras in the cast credits.  In the end credits from the film they're listed after the crew credits, which themselves are after the cast credits; (in other words the list of extras is in a totally separate place to all the named, main actors).  However, what the actual end credits say (when translated from Swedish by Google) is “thanks to all the extras” followed by the list of names.  So are these cast credits or not?  Discuss?

Thanks.  Paul

Extras are cast.  I would put them under an appropriate divider.

I agree that they're cast, but none that I'd generally track in my local db.  IMO, "extras" are usually just set dressing.

They are cast, but can be cast out.

In other words, I don't think there is a requirement to strive for this level of completeness.

Staid is correct...with one caveat.  While you don't have to enter them, if they are already there, you can't remove them.  You can from your local, but because they are allowed by the rules, you can't from the on-line.

Using the same logic, we may as well list stuntmen in the cast list.

Funnily I do this already (locally only, of course) for "Stunt Performers".

I find it very strange that some people don't seem to have any problems in copying unverified uncredited cast, but hit the ceiling when they are asked if a credited appearance should be listed in DVDProfiler.

(General comment, not aimed at a single person!)

Laugh all you want, but these people are credited so they are credited cast.
