Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought that you could link an actor to the various ways he is creditted.  Example is Beat Takeshi who is also credited as Takeshi Kitano.    So in DVDP if I click on a movie that has him creditted as Beat Takeshi it will also show the movies he is creditted as Takeshi Kitano.

You have to make sure that the "Common Name" field has exactly the same name in it for it to link the two different "credited as" fields.

where do you put in the common name?  I see first, middle, last, and year of birth.  Is there a cast screen to edit them that I just haven't found?

That is the "Common Name".

When you add cast to a profile, you have the option of including the "credited as" field in the event that the Common Name does not match exactly to the way that the person was credited.  The "credited as" field is not divided into three sections; it's just one field for the entire name.

Thanks for the help.

I go thte answer about cast linking, but curious if there is a link between the cast and crew databases.  Using Takeshi Kitano again as an example, he also directs movies as well and would love for it to list both what he was a cast for and crew for when I click on this name.
