It should be "Bonecrusher The Mastiff//" as Himself. "Bonecrusher The Mastiff" is a stage name.  pdf | | | Paul Francis

The way I would do it is to use credited as. That just adds bad links to the database. Ken Cole has told us not to list it that way. Enter "Bonecrusher The Mastiff" as the actors name and "Himself" as the role. pdf | | | Paul Francis

| | Posted: | | | | I don't disagree with what has been said.
Let me toss out what Ken said on "Himself" (which applies more to real persons than to fictional Mastiffs but might provide some insight) | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

pdf You are correct, Ken has addressed this. From this thread: Quoting Ken Cole: Quote:
My thought on this is that if the cast listing is explicit, as in "Himself as Bob Smith", or "Bob Smith played by Himself", then the Credited As field should be used to preserve intent. However, if the only indication of Name/Role is left/right, I would lean towards allowing the credit to be entered as name: "Bob Smith", role: "Himself" Pet that statement, it should be "Bonecrusher The Mastiff as Himself." | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Pet that statement, it should be "Bonecrusher The Mastiff as Himself." Thanks for finding the thread, I looked for it, but you know how bad search is here. So now we need to know just how it is listed in the film credits. pdf | | | Paul Francis
