You have to ask yourself, what the purpose of uncredited cast entries is.

For me it's to list recognizable people that did not get listed for various reasons.

For example, Peter Jackson in the LOTR trilogy. It's fun to be able to spot him in those movies.

Back in the 50s, credits were rather short and not even all main characters got a listing in the end credits but they were an important part of the film.

Or you have a story with an off-narrator where the narrator doesn't get credited but it's someone know (either as an actor himself or because he does a lot of narrating or both).

For example, Kristen Bell is not credited once for her narrating voice of Gossip Girl even though she did it for six seasons and even had an on-screen appearance in the final episode as herself (together with Rachel Bilson also as herself).

But what would be the purpose of listing crew members in the cast section just because they were visible in the out-takes in the end credits?

And would you do that for an actual blooper as well? If some crew member was accidentally in a shot and nobody in editing noticed it?


This is how I try to answer most DVDP related questions when it comes to contributions: "What would the general populace gain from it".

What I do in my personal database is then a whole different ballgame (for example, I contribute running times for season and complete series sets even though I'd never use them personally, because I already have the disc running times).

Oh, you're opening a can of worms there, Karsten. There are lots of things in Profiler that prompts the question "What is its purpose" if you ask me. I won't mention any, because I fear it would derail this thread. Or maybe this post alone is enough to do so...
