I wonder if the actor lists that credit on IMDB. On the one hand, I’d be proud of being in a Trek show. But I certainly wouldn’t relish the follow up question about which episode I was in…

I don't know, I'd probably be proud of it. Not only would I have been on the TNG pilot, I would have been one of the few characters outside of the main crew anyone ever remembers because of the way I was dressed and the way I was dressed was one of the first, if not the first time Trek was pro-LGBT+ (although it took a long time to move further).

Fair enough; these days it’s certainly more accepted than it would’ve been when it first aired.

They can choose what gets listed?

Is that just for small parts or big parts too?

[-] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

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..

Thanks!

Terry Hatcher doesn't from what I recall.

[-] DeathbringerThoctar@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Teri Hatcher definitely has her single episode of TNG listed on IMDb.

I'm likely missremembering then.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
