How do I add a Stand In credit to my profile?

I want to add a Stand In credit to my profile and I don't know how. I was the Stand In for Jeffrey Dean Morgan in the movie The Losers (2010): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480255/?ref_=nv_sr_1 and I would love to add that credit to my actor profile. Please help!

Alejandro: Did your name appear on screen in the credits of the movie?

If so, do you have, or can you get, a screen capture showing your name in the credits?

I just checked the credits on the movie and non of the Stand Ins are listed or credited at the end of the movie. So no, my name does not appear on the screen. What other options do I have?

Alejandro: Since you do have credited roles listed in the database, you can submit the stand-in work to IMDb as uncredited work. However, it will be up to IMDb whether they choose to accept it or not; it is up to them. See http://www.imdb.com/help/search?domain=helpdesk_faq&index=1&file=uncreditedcredits&ref_=..., especially the paragraph that says, "Uncredited work can be removed at any time. We periodically revise and adapt these criteria and reserve the right to retroactively restrict our eligibility rules for uncredited work."

Also, the work of a stand-in will be listed as Miscellaneous Crew, not as an Actor credit. I mention this because sometimes people want to be listed in IMDb only with regard to the kind of job that they are doing now, and they don't want their past work in less prestigious jobs to be listed. The IMDb doesn't allow people to have their less prestigious jobs removed just because they aren't happy about those jobs any more.

If you decide to submit this work, go to the page for the film at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0480255/. Click "Edit page".

On the next screen, on the Other Crew line, select "Add 1 credit". Scroll down and click "Continue".

On the next screen, enter your name in the Name box as Santoni, Alejandro (I) -- or if your name merge has already gone through by the time you submit this, Santoni, Alejandro instead.

In the Occupation menu, select "Other (use box below), and in the box below, enter your job as:
stand-in: Jeffrey Dean Morgan

In the Attribute box, enter (uncredited) to indicate that you were not credited. Click "Check these updates".

On the next screen, you will get a warning that you do not have any existing credits in this section (because all your current credits are as an Actor, and this one is Other Crew instead). Select the second-to-last option on the list below, saying that this is the first credit in this section for you. Click "Re-check these updates".

On the next screen, your data should appear with a green background and you should be able to click "Submit these updates".

I hope this helps.
