Chase Paris's entire casting director credit listing is (most likely) completely erroneous

I've tried to clean these up before and I just deleted 68 credits for Dynasty, but Chase Paris has never been credited as a casting director in any show that I've ever seen him credited for. He is always credited with "Atlanta Casting", usually along with Tara Feldstein.

I'm not even sure how these credits made it past the validation system since a lot are credited as "casting director: Atlanta" which should set off red flags for the validation algorithm and the data editors.

The help guide specifically states location casting belongs in the casting department, not as a casting director: "Casting directors may be credited as just "casting" or "casting by" in the on-screen credits); other casting personnel, including casting directors of additional units or for specific locations, should be included in the Casting Credits."

Can an employee clean this up and reach out to the person that added all these credits (most of them duplicates of what already exists in the casting department)?

Thanks. I generally try and do these cleanups myself but that was a lot of deletions and I wasn't quite sure all were invalid and that would have taken forever to verify.

I hope some better validation is put in place to stop people being listed as casting directors with the attribute "sasting: <location>"

Hi forthehorde -

The previously listed "Creepshow" episode credits listed on the IMDb page were:

Skincrawlers/By the Silver Water of Lake Champlain

Night of the Paw/Times Is Tough in Musky Holler

The Companion/Lydia Layne's Better Half

Can you confirm which specific "Creepshow" episode your screen grab is from?

Hi forthehorde -

Thanks for confirming and posting these additional screen grabs, the casting director episode credits have now been reinstated and should be listed live again on the site shortly.

Cheers!
