credits moved from "ACTOR" to "SELF" category

please help! i'm an actor and 9 shows i've acted on (many of which i appeared in multiple episodes) have suddenly moved into the "self" category on my page. as an actor, i rely on imdb for producers and casting directors to see that i'm actively working, but with this move dozens of tv appearances are now "out of sight."

i've tried updating the credits with a request to move them back to "actor," but nothing has changed. can anyone help me???

PS the credits are H8R, breaking up with shannen doherty, the pete holmes show, late late show with james corden, a little late with lily singh, Still Laugh In, The chris wylde show, fameless, and the wanda sykes show. THANKS SO MUCH, community members!

Most of these shows are listed as non-fiction, which means all their credits are listed under Self. I would like to know from IMDb staff whether a show (such as a talk-show) should be listed as non-fiction if it regularly features sketch comedy performers.

For a few other credits, such as H8R, your character name is listed as Self. If this is not accurate you can correct it.

Adding the keyword ”reenactment” to these shows should do the trick:

Adding one keyword (non-fiction) to list all cast credits as Self and another keyword (reenactment) to stop them from being listed as Self is rather odd, especially if there is no actual reenactment. So I think the first question should be whether "non-fiction" should be removed.

”Reenactment” is just a keyword and it does the trick. It just means that there are ”acting” (dramatized scenes, comedy sketches, etc) involved. At least I don’t take it literally.

But people can use other methods, of course, if they feel it’s easier.
