Credit Wording

why do a few of my credits say the name of the role I played, and then as ("my personal name)?? I can't figure out why

Hi andreawilliams -

 

If there is an "as..." name attribute listed beside yoru credit, this signifies that you were credited under an alternate name in the on-screen credits of the title.

 

For example, you are listed on the site under the name "John Smith", however, on the film, you were credited under the name "John Ray Smith", in which case a name attribute will be listed for "(as John Ray Smith)".

 

If you would like our staff to take a look further and confirm, please post the link to your IMDb page.

 

Cheers!
