Remove name from cast list...

As the director & exec producer of the documentary, Sexology, I have been asked by actress, Kelly Gray to remove her name from the cast.

Please advise.

Thank you!

@Michelle​ Good to know. I was under the impression that actors were permitted/able to remove what they might consider to be their more "embarrassing" credits.

Gabrielle: I don't know if this will be of any help, but I notice that Kelly Gray is one of only two people in the film Sexology (2016) who has a character name rather than appearing as "Self". Was her role in this documentary a scripted acting role, unlike the other participants? If so, I recommend adding the keyword reenactment to the film's keyword page (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6574240/keywords). 

The reenactment keyword is a specialized keyword used by IMDb to indicate that someone was playing a role in an otherwise nonfiction title, rather than appearing as themself. (It doesn't make a difference whether the person was re-enacting something that did or didn't occur.)

If that keyword is added to the title, Kelly will (within a few days) have the credit moved to the Actress section of her page instead of Self. To be precise, the reenactment keyword will move the credit for anyone who has a character name that doesn't begin with "Self", so Robert Westergaard's credit would be moved to the Actor section, too.

I don't know if that would improve this situation, but it seems potentially relevant.

Thank you. She would like to remove her name from the film entirely.
