photo and clip misidentified

IMDB has misidentified Dougray Scott as Jamie Sives on Jamie's page.  Jamie was in the TV series "Crime," but Dougay is the star.  The entire "Crime" clip on Jamie's page features Dougray's performance.

Hi @dorcasloone -

For Video trailers, we often tag the well-known actors/actresses who are featured in the trailer clip, which is likely why Jamie Sives was tagged.  To clarify, is he not featured anywhere on this trailer?

Thanks for your reply, Michelle.  On the clip, Sives' face flashes by for about a second and a half, and that's all - you can barely identify him. (I really do think this is a case of someone unknowingly not being able to tell one scruffy urban Scot from another.)  The other reason I think this is a mistake is because if you search in your browser for "Jamie Sives", one of the first pictures you see is this same (now still) photo of Dougray Scott from the trailer clip, and if you click on this picture you get the caption "Jamie Sives IMDb" with a URL back to the clip.  If you think a replacement clip is justified, I think the trailer for season 1 of the BBC drama "Guilt" gives Sives a bit more face time.  I promie not to nag you about this, you are the person in charge!

Hi @dorcasloone​ -

I have untagged Jamie Sives from the video and I can see that the featured video has been replaced.  For more information about the featured video selection you can review our Help Guide.

Hope this helps!
