Credit Production Executives?


How to credit Bill Nye? FYI: He does appear on screen.

Production Executives are not a valid role we track.

And neither are video scientists or technical advisors.

Hello all...  This discussion has me interested in asking some additional questions that may apply to other profiles.

1.  I have seen this type of credit before in other series.  How would "Production Executives" be different than Executive Producers?

2.  If Bill Nye actually appears on-screen in the series, could he be casted as
    Name: Bill Nye    Role: Video Scientist
    ?

Thanks for your responses!

Regarding your first question I think this is quite helpful:

Also, I think Bill Nye could get a cast credit if he appears on-screen as a Video Scientist, but it is very unusual to put a single cast credit between crew credits. On the other side he's credited for 2 roles. Maybe one cast & one crew role?
Think different

Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.

I think this explanation also helps me understand why we don't track the credit for "Executive in Charge of Production" in DVDP.  Thanks for this linked explanation, ninso4.

I think that's exactly what's happening. He's in the cast as the Video Scientist, and in the crew as Technical Advisor. So he gets a DVDP cast credit as Video Scientist, but no crew credit. It would be ridiculous to add him to cast as Uncredited, since he does have a credit, even though it's formatted in an unusual way.
