| | Posted: | | | | From my point of view there are too many mistakes in the databases. I use Google to find the photos. I limit to photos larger than 300x400 and containing faces - eg. Search for James Parks. Works pretty well... Mostly for comparison I use some screenshot sites like aveleyman.com... For dead persons Find a Grave is a good resource... | | | | Complete list of Common Names • A good point for starting with Headshots (and v11.1) |

| | Posted: | | | | Sadly, for many actors from older movies or actors that are not widely known it's almost impossible to find good photographs. For these cases sites like aveleyman.com or movie-dude.co.uk are good alternatives for at least finding a screenshot for the person. | | | Recently bought films:

| | Posted: | | | | Google is hard if you don't know what the person looks like and can't find any mention along with the photo that they are indeed the person that is a actor or actress and not just some person with a name that is the same.
aveleyman.com and movie-dude.co.uk are great, just the kind of sites I was wondering about. Are there any more sites similar to these? Especially the movie-dude site. I just wish had more of the movies I have in my collection. |

| | Posted: | | | | Per CLT the common name for Steve/Stevie/Steven van Zandt is Steven van Zandt. My next update will include a better headshot for the correct common name and this photo for the incorrect Steve van Zandt:  | | | | Complete list of Common Names • A good point for starting with Headshots (and v11.1) |

| | Posted: | | | | ... profound suspicion...  - I added the birth year to this Andrew Robinson after this correction and forgot to change the headshot afterwards... Sorry, the correct headshot was delivered in the crew section... | | | | Complete list of Common Names • A good point for starting with Headshots (and v11.1) | | | | Last edited: by AiAustria |
