| | Posted: | | | | I'm in the process of auditing my Nightmare on Elm Street collection. In part 2, Robert Englund has a credit for "Freddy Kruger", but he also plays an uncredited role of school bus-driver in the opening sequence.
The overview even says "Look for Robert Englund minus his Freddy face in the opening sequence." I did, saw it, and grabbed screen for proof.
My question is, since he already has one credit in the film, is it within the rules/boundaries of common sense, to give this role an "uncredited" mention in the cast list?
I wouldn't want to add the role to the existing {Freddy Kruger/Bus Driver} as that wouldn't match the credits, and would look wrong anyway. Plus with one credited and the other not.... |

You are right, you don't want to merge the credits. Forget is right. An uncredited listing is just fine. Nice of them to give you a hint in the overview.  | | | | Bad movie?

| | Posted: | | | | I think it is still Freddy Kruger, but before he got burned, so personally, I wouldn't add Robert as Bus Driver with the uncredited box selected. | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm

I was thinking this too, although from the lore of the films he was a janitor and not a busdriver, although maybe he did both jobs. I just submitted it without the role and will wait for further discussion to see where that leads. |

In fact, this sounds a lot like Robin Williams in Aladdin...he's credited as the Genie, but he's also uncredited as the Peddler from the opening scene (hmmm...must be a common theme with the uncredited opening scene thing!  ) and this is how it is listed in that profile. | | | | My phpDVDprofiler collection |

Agreed. It is perfectly fine to add a second, uncredited, listing. I agree as well... wouldn't have any problem with it. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I definitely want him in my profile as uncredited for the role of the bus driver, and I can't think of a mention anywhere in the rules that would prohibit such a contribution.
I say submit it. I wasn't even aware he appeared in part 2 as the bus driver, so it'd definitely be good information to have! | | | | The night is calling. And it whispers to me soflty come and play. |
