| | Posted: | | | | I agree with Skip. I haven't seen an instance of 'Tiny' in any of his credits. If someone can show just one, please do. But looking over the CLT for "Tom 'Tiny' Lister Jr.", the titles that I own and can verify, he is credited with "Tiny" and NOT 'Tiny'. |

I don't have a screenshot of the credits, but according to my local records, Trespass {025192195723} has the 'Tiny' credit. I'll double check that tonight after football since I did the profile in August, and a newer contribution says I errored on Ice T and Tiny.  Yep, I messed up in August, it's Tiny Lister on Trespass, no ' or " marks, no Tom, Tommy or Zeus. | | | | Last edited: by bigdaddyhorse |

"Tom 'Tiny' Lister, Jr." is credited in the following 8 titles (9 profiles): will ever be the correct common name but is an IMDb artifact. But by defaulting to a comma we reduce the number possible names by half and eliminate a topic for arguments. And make linking of name variants much more likely. | | | | Bad movie?

| | Posted: | | | | Part of the problem with the CLT, and why it should not be authoritative in matters like this, is that there are a number of entries that indicate Tom is the common name, but when you look at the profile itself, it has one of his many other credits actually listed.
For example, in my collection alone:
Austin Powers in Goldmember: Tommy "Tiny" Lister
Beverly Hills Cop 2: Tom "Tiny" Lister, Jr.
The Dark Knight: Tommy Tiny Lister
Fifth Element: Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr
Friday: Tiny "Zeus" Lister, Jr.
Jackie Brown: Tommy "Tiny" Lister, Jr.
Little Nicky: Tommy "Tiny" Lister, Jr.
Posse: Tom: 'Tiny' Lister, Jr.
Star Trek: Enterprise: Season 1: Tom 'Tiny' Lister, Jr.
Now, I have not personally vetted these credits (yet), but I have a hard time believing the accuracy of the CLT. |

Read the RFC: Filter for Jr. topic in this forum. Should I crosslink them to Tom 'Tiny' Lister, Jr. (the Version with the most uncommon name) then ? |
