My credit went to another person with the same name

My name is Justin Lyon. I acted in the movie Bad Fellaz (2015) as the character Carlos. This should have been my first credit on IMDB. Instead, the credit went to another Justin Lyon, the producer of Yo Gabba Gabba. I would like the entry corrected please.

There is something odd going on with the name. There is a Justin (II) but it's an empty page. Then there's the other guy mentioned under Justin (III), but no (I) is listed.

It might be best to choose to let IMDb decide since there is something going on we can't see. The Justin (II) might be okay if there is definitely nothing there. But if it has suppressed "uncredited" work, etc., it might not work.

Or, I guess, (II) might work but if it doesn't, IMDb will decide anyway?

What do you think, David?

Looks like some sort of update may be in progress, since the Reference version of the page still has no number.

If that is the case, IMDb should be able to catch this and change the Roman Numeral on the submission.

Perhaps I should have included a statement that if the message indicates that the keyed numeral will cause a merge, he should check the button beside the message that indicates a new Name needs to be created, even if the number is higher.
