| | Posted: | | | | Kind of like prime minister David Lloyd George; his last name is Lloyd George. I think it's a Welsh thing... | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |

The credit look-up tool is nice, but some playing with it shows me that it's at least 75% IMDb-data - as I expected. I tried about forty names on which I (and/or the forum) have made a different "common name" choice then IMDb did, and on almost all of them, the IMDb-name came up with a huge majority. That's not about parsing, I know, but it does indicate that while I think the feature can (and probably will) be very helpful in the future, I don't think we should start completely relying on it already. Needless to say, I agree with the majority of the voters in this thread that it should be Roger//Lloyd Pack and Charles//Lloyd Pack. | | | | Last edited: by T!M |

The reason Roger Lloyd-Pack is more common in the database than Roger Lloyd Pack is certainly that IMDB uses the hyphenated variant. Many profiles in the credit search show him as Roger Lloyd-Pack even though I've personally checked these profiles and confirmed that he is credited without the hyphen. |
