So, I'm working on the profile for Jesse Stone: No Remorse and at the end, there are credits with stills from the movie for some of the actors (picture of that individual) with character names but then it goes to a black screen and, after some co-producer credits, there are more credits. Problem is, there are a few in there that were a part of the credits with pictures and a couple actually have slightly different character names. How do I handle this? Do I remove the ones in the picture credits and place the ones in the end credits after the last picture credit (which is Tom Selleck and Joe the Dog) or in the end credits, skip the ones already listed and place the others in order?

Just to note, the major players (like Selleck and others) are not listed in the end credits, just the picture credits...

Hope all of that made sense, lol.

I'm no expert in this, but I've come across this once or twice. What I've seen done so have stuck with it, is that the picture list goes first. However, if the actor is listed in both the picture and the cast list, the cast list information is the one to use.  The example coming to my mind had the main cast doubled in both the picture list and in the cast list plus one extra. The extra was listed first, then the cast list was entered.  If I remember correctly, it got no no votes and was passed by the screeners.

Hope this helps (and is correct!)

I use the "If a film has actors listed in the opening credits, which are not listed in the end credits, add these to the list in DVD Profiler before those taken from the end credits." rule for these types of credits.  Anybody that is listed in the 'special' credits, but not the standard credits, would get listed first, followed by the standard credits.
