IMDB actually has a lot of info and procedures regarding credits. Most of it deals with getting your credit.
IMDB basically states: we’re a database, and it’s up to the production company to supply us with proper credits for their movie/show. If you as an actor have a profile on there, it should get added automatically, or you can claim that credit as long as your name matches the one listed in the credits.
Now, if you wanted to ‘delete’ a credit - you can’t. Because IMDB’s position is that as a database, it wants as full and accurate a listing as possible. And deleting people from listed credits would cause gaps in that info.
So in short: no, you actually don’t really have control over it, since it’s not meant to be used as a resume page.
That makes a lot more sense, and is essentially what I assumed (whatever info they have is what they have). I guess I didn’t realize that there were gaps where they wouldn’t be automatically credited, though…
They can choose what gets listed?
Is that just for small parts or big parts too?
