More Fake Stunt Credits

I have seen this happen a few time recently. A certain person won't let go of the fact that there were extras who weren't stuntmen. Last year the people at IMDb told him to please stop adding these things after I submitted proof that they were fake. Now he's back trying to readd the stunt credits. It's insane. It all originates from a group that was lasted for 3 or 4 years in the mid 1930s that was called The Riding Actors Association. It was for posse extras to get better pay. Somehow he got it into his mind that because they were a member of this group, they did stunts in everything and then it got worse, it became anybody who had a stunt credit did stunts in everything. He ended up adding thousands of fake stunt credits  and thankfully most were removed.

Now he's back at it trying to sneak them under the radar. Anybody with common sense can see they are fake. I know, I added the acting credits to all of these people. Duke Fishman was a short bald guy who was a lifelong extra who had one "double" credit because he happened to be bald. He didn't do stunts in Support Your Local Sheriff. Even far far worse is putting Jack Tornek down as a stuntman for this thing. Tornek was 83 years old. He was just standing in a crowd. There's no way that anybody would have hired him to do stunts in the film. He like the rest in my submission were Screen Extras Guild people.

Somebody please stop this guy from posting these things.  The 2nd link is to Iron Eyes Cody. Cody was never a stuntman. He was known to be a complete b.s. artist who claimed to have done everything under the son including being Indian when he wasn't. He parlayed it into a career of bit parts, etc. but never any stuntwork. The same with poor Chuck Hamilton who still has 22 fake stunt credits attached to his profile.



Here is Schumacher (guy behind Garner)and Jack Tornek (guy with black mustache) as extras in Support your Local Sheriff. Like the rest of the credits I tried to delete, they are just extras. Sorry if it seems I'm mad but this was supposed to be nipped in the bud years ago and obviously the person is testing the waters again to try to add the fake credits back.
