Joseph Bazalgette
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0698582/?ref_=tt_eps_top lists Joseph Bazalgette as a television actor. But in fact he was a (very important) sewage engineer who rid London of the "Great Stink" by redesigning the sewer system, but he died in 1891, and he sure as eggs is eggs didn't appear in any television programs. I think some wires have got crossed between reality and the world of documentary TV. I don't know how to uncross those wires, so I'm leaving that job to those with wiser heads than I.
If someone wants to fix it, great. If not, I don't suppose it matters a huge deal.

FYI I added the bio myself, today.
But in the program link I gave, he is credited as an actor, playing the part of "Mudlark".
That's my point. He was never an actor. The credit is incorrect.
