Rejected correction of Julian Song's filmography (evidence included)

My initial rejected submission is #210310-232334-141000 with reason stated as "Unable to verify". In this particular case, I must admit, some research was very much necessary for further verification.  

Julian Song is an actor who has the movie Limitless (2011) in his filmography, which I've discovered routinely re-checking every single name in the cast (which I admit is an odd pasttime, but hey). His role is specified as 'Ghenghis Khan' (sic!) and on top of being a misspelling of the name Genghis Khan, it is fairly easy for anyone who've seen the 2011 movie to positively tell there is no Genghis Khan in the contemporary sci-fi story. 

However, the movie's direct continuation, TV series "Limitless" (2015-2016) is very prone on using stylized sequences to illustrate main characters insights under the effect of mind-altering drug NZT and second episode, Badge! Gun! (2015) indeed features a brief stylized shot (plus photographs) of Genghis Khan, explaining his lineage and genetic markers passed to millions of people. Following images are screenshots which were taken at approximately 29:08-29:12 into the episode. 

As you can see, name is indeed spelled Genghis Khan in the series. Moreover, I do have a positive ID of Mr. Song due to a photograph of his being available on the official website of the short film The Hanji Box (2016)
Despite differences in make-up and facial hair, the screenshot and the photograph are very much the same actor due to presence of distinctive facial features such as nose and face shape, moles (some covered in make-up, some still noticeable), etc.
