On a personal note, regarding the linking of the Cast & Crew databases, I think it would be more trouble than it's worth. If you think the ping ponging of BYs and common names is bad now, just wait till it's spread over two databases .

And FWIW the other Steve Martin probably isn't in our DB as crew since most his credits are apparently Animal Training and Stunts
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!

Especially since AFAIK crew personnell don't have to follow the Screen Actors' Guild rule about no two people having the same name at the same time.

I would try and find as much documentation for Steve E. Martin (or Steve Earl Martin) and use THAT instead of messing with BY -- for all the reasons specified above.

I think it's a tough call either way, though, as far as documentation is concerned.

Thought I'd post a follow-up on this, for posterity's sake if nothing else.

As some of you already know, I decided to go with adding the middle name of "Earl" to the lesser-known Steve Martin.

It received a number of Yes votes and no No votes and was approved earlier today. It should be released shortly.

Thanks for everyone's input.

Oh, and here's the UPC in question: 025192052729
