Listed as SELF not ACTOR

Hi, Some time ago I did an acting job as a publican (pub owner) for a BAFTA winning director. It was a documentary but I had the 1 role in the whole thing that was acting (explaining what an NFT is) and I was erroneously credited as SELF. Well the name is correct but it was not SELF as I am not a pub owner, I don't even drink! I managed to get it changed to a role but it's still missing from my profile under ACTOR. It's still in the auto-hidden SELF part. Given the bafta winning director I really want that role on my profile to be visible. It's also airing on Netflix. I've tried everything but just ran out of things to try. Can a mod fix it please? Here's a link to my profile. TIA. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8525612/

If the documentary has scenes of reenactment and that's what you are doing, you can add the keyword 'reenactment' to the title and everyone not listed as self, should then have their credit appear in the actor section of their page instead.

Stanley, do you know if any of the other participants featured were also actors? I just watched the doc, and admittedly I’m not familiar with the subject or any of the interviewees, but I copied the names and credits to add to this database. It would be helpful to know if the other participants should be listed as “self” or as actors, especially the ones credited as “Currency Owner.”

No I was the sole actor in it, the rest were contributors aka real people being themselves.
