Wrong actor credited

In the movie Child's Play (1992) (tt0104615), the role of Peter (10-year-old Micha's younger brother) is credited to Matthias Friedrich (nm0295448) who was born in 1960. While Matthias Friedrich is the name of the actor who played Peter, it obviously must have been a different person. The same Matthias Friedrich also played the role of Junge mit Messer in the movie Life is All You Get (1997) (tt0119510). As to whether there might be other credits that belong to this other Matthias Friedrich, I cannot say. But these two roles were NOT played by a 30-something year old man.

O, really? I don't recall me experiencing a problem in this regard, but I rarely use the feature and I provide an explanation whenever I do. I find it interesting that the same technique/function can be used to move other items (e.g. trivia) besides filmography items.

Concerning: Adding nicknames which contain a single capital letter (usually for an unrevealed middle name, or a rap name), or multiple capital letters, however usually these only take two attempts at most before they're accepted. Well, the submission interface actually does not allow that, so in a way, everybody who isn't an IMDb data editor has trouble with it. Some of the other points brought up here are also common problems.

Hi a970 -   I reviewed the name page for "Matthias Friedrich (I)" and can see that the two credits reported have since been removed.    If there was a different "Matthias Friedrich" credited on-screen for these films, the credits should be submitted to a new "Matthias Friedrich" page.   Cheers!

Thank you for responding. The credits have been moved to Matthias Friedrich (V).
