| | Posted: | | | | 1. How to credit the following?
Autam Chopra AKA Gotham Chopra
CLT Results (# of profiles)
Autam Chopra AKA Gotham Chopra = 0
Autam AKA Gotham Chopra = 3
Autam Chopra = 3
Gotham Chopra = 27 profiles
I was thinking of the following way.
Since Gotham is his most common name, use credited as.
Gotham Chopra (Autam Chopra AKA Gotham Chopra)
2. Voice Double, Church Choir & Group Dancers
I'll describe how the end credits are presented.
The cast list begins at 1:21:15 and is pushed off to the side to make room for a Verne Troyer clip on the right side of the screen. That clip disappears and where the clip was shown goes black, but the cast credits continues on the side.
Starting at 1:21:34 the credits move to the center of the screen. The first credit shown in the center is for 'Oprah Winfrey Voice Double'. Right below that is credits for 2 groups, the Children's Church Choir & Group Dancers.
Then a small break in the credits with credits appearing again at 1:21:43 with credits for Sports Coordinator, Stunt Coordinators, Stunts, Background Vocalist, Puppeteers.
Then at 1:21:57 the word "Crew" appears on screen with Co-Producer credit first.
So would the Voice Double, Children's Church Coir & Group Dancers be credited as cast? |

| | Posted: | | | | I really think we should refrain from entering credited as names like "Autam Chopra AKA Gotham Chopra", "Gracie & Ava May" or "Himself" as they "pollute" the CLT with incorrect common names. IMO, we don't need to always capture exactly what can be seen on screen. | | | Martin Zuidervliet

I don't think that's a good idea. If this is done too many times, his CLT name would become Autam Chopra instead, if I understand the CLT correctly.
I would do as the thread starter suggested: Gotham Chopra[Autam Chopra AKA Gotham Chopra], or just Gotham Chopra. The is wrong, and here's what I tried to say: Quote:

Correct and that's exactly his credited name and the second one is his AKA name and the current common name. What if "Autam Chopra AKA Gotham Chopra" would become his common name? Would you then enter that as Autam Chopra/AKA/Gotham Chopra? That would be ridiculous! | | | Martin Zuidervliet

That's just another reason why the current linking system (and the CLT) needs to be replaced. | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

Would you then enter that as Autam Chopra/AKA/Gotham Chopra? That would be ridiculous! Sorry, I seem to have mixed the names up, so I think I partially agree with you DDVD :o . Depends if that's how he's credited. As we've been saying throught this thread, Excactly as credited. But I do take this threads credits to be Autam Chopra, but with an extra AKA added. I don't think there's anything wrong in leaving out the second name (Gotham Chopra), and just write Gotham Chopra [Autam Chopra]. PS. I seem to have mixed up these names in my first reply, just to add to the confusion . Should be correct in this one though. | | | | Last edited: by Gemini76 |

| | Posted: | | | | Again, the rules are quite clear. If the credit reads 'Autam Chopra AKA Gotham Chopra', then that is what must be entered. We have enough areas where the rules are not 100% clear, why mess with an area where it is? | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | The reason is that here you have a credit which lists two different names for the same person, but we only have one field for them. So what should then be first, second or and last name for this actor.
An example: A crew is credited with one name in the opening credits, and a different name in the end-credits. Shouldn't you then only enter one of them? Like if we had: Director: Jimmy Smith in the opening credits, and Director: Jim Smith in the end credits.
What we he probably could do, is to write: Gotham Chopra [Autam (Gotham) Chopra]. But this would probably be to inventive. | | | | Last edited: by Gemini76 |
