François Basset - two different persons?
In IMDb I find two entries "François Basset" (I) (II): https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0060172 – Director: François Basset (I) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0060173 – Actor: François Basset (II) I am seriously doubting they are two different persons. If you check the full credits for the movie Force majeure (eng: Uncontrollable Circumstances) you will find: François Basset (I) as Second assistant director François Basset (II) as "student" (role). If you check the full credits for the movie Simple mortel (eng: A Mere Mortal) you will find: François Basset (I) as Second assistant director François Basset (II) as "Le gardien du parking" (role). This seems to me not just an coincidence. I think they are simply the same person. See also: https://en.unifrance.org/directories/person/385980/francois-basset# With kind regards, Kodine

Interesting that the "actor" page nm0060173 has the next consecutive number after the "director" page nm0060172. You didn't mention that they 2 acting credits are the ONLY credits. And that they are both from early in his career. The fact that the characters are unnamed helps convince me he was probably filling in as needed on the project where he was already present. I also don't find any deeper search results for "François Basset" actor than IMDb's page. From the Help Center (you can contribute this merge): How can I combine two IMDb filmography pages?This article provides answers for how to merge duplicate name pages together on IMDb. What's the difference between an name page and account? Before we get to the instructions, it's important to understand the difference between thes ... Read more.

Unfortunately I don't have an IMDb account (just for the community forum) and ... I am absolutely new to IMDb (apart the fact I use it as info source) and does not know anything about editing on this db. I am used to collect and provide data to TVDb and TMDb only. Isn't there any other way to correct the entries (e.g. by you)? With kind regards

Kodine, if you really don't want to try (it's easy, unlike merging titles), then I'll do it.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry, probably I missed the main point. Why do you want me to become a member of IMDb? I have to register (ok, maybe not a big deal, I don't know the licence and privacy agreement). Then I have to read and understand all the stuff/logic how to merge entries (learning the IMDb language) just to correct a false entry – (in a way) in "your" db? As written above, I am already providing/collecting/correcting data in other movie dbs and I am not very into to do this on IMDb too. (To be honest, I am not even really a movie enthusiast, I am just generally interested in correct data). I think it was fair enough to tell you (on IMDb) about the wrong entry, and I think it is okay to leave you with that info to correct it by yourself – if it is in your intention to provide correct data. I am already playing for two other teams and not interested in a third (time consumption). Hope this does not sound too harsh or impolite as it is not my intention. With kind regards.

Many thanks for your understanding and the correction. I am aware that IMDb is a community driven Db (as TVDb and TMDb) and I could be a part of it same way like you are. But as said, I am spending already (too) much time in other movie databases and I am afraid that becoming a IMDb member would make things worse. Every system has its own rules (some call them "bible") that you have get used to. I have some comparison, e. g. Discogs (music is my real interest), where newbies are editing in ignorance, which sometimes leads to more damage than help. You are the experts on "your" system, that's why I think it's the better way (at least this time). And I fancy that idea. Again, thanks a lot. With kind regards, Kodine
