False Information on Main Actor Page and in Bio
EDIT: We were able to get in touch with Mr. Gauthier himself, as we didn't believe that he was the one who had made the changes to his profile, and he has been quite happy to remove the incorrect information. No other action need be taken unless the staff at IMDb deems it necessary.
Hello,
Recently, a member of a fan page of which I am a part noticed that an actor seems to be taking credit for voice acting work he did not do. Either that or someone has added incorrect information to his page, at no fault of his own. The page is question is this one: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9053743/?ref_=nmbio_bio_nm
And here is the associated bio: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9053743/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm
The problem occurs with the character of Inigo, whose picture -- the blue cat -- is shown on the main page as one of his official photos and whom it is mentioned in his bio that Mr. Gauthier did voice work on, which is patently false. I know Gary Hesketh, the creator of Inigo, which is a mod for the 2011 game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and I know that he not only created the character, but he did all of the voice acting for Inigo himself. He did not hire or otherwise collaborate with outside voice talent for the character of Inigo. Thus, not only should the image of Inigo be removed from Mr. Gauthier's profile, but the incorrect information should also be removed from his biography, as it misrepresents the work he has done and gives him credit where it is not due. The information also briefly appeared on the IMDb page for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, showing that Mr. Gauthier was a member of the original Skyrim cast, voicing Inigo, but it is no longer there, which gives me hope that it was already flagged and removed.
If necessary, I can provide the contact info for the creator of Inigo, if he needs to prove that he is the sole voice actor. It may be easier, however, to consult this YouTube video, which is an interview with the Gary, the creator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL5M3I4Hl78
In the meantime, thank you for taking the time to look into this.

Thanks for confirming that Mr. Gauthier will be removing the incorrect credits. In case you encounter this issue again in the future (ie. you notice incorrect credits listed on the site) note that you can also submit the credit corrections/deletions directly through our online Update form. You can find further details on how to submit updates here. Cheers!

I have reviewed our records and it does appear that the image you are referring to:
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9053743/mediaviewer/rm3109442816
Was uploaded via the IMDbPro membership that is claiming his page:
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm9053743/mediaindex
I have reached out to the email address we have on file requesting the removal of the image and referenced this Get Satisfaction thread for context.
He will need to log in to this IMDbPro membership and remove the image from his gallery. If Will is having any trouble logging into this membership or removing the photo, he can contact us here for assistance.
Thank you for your understanding!
