I starred as an extra in 2 student short film projects two years ago and today was the first time I looked on the imdb pages of those student films, so I could see my name shine with the other actors. But when I looked at the imdb profiles for cast and crew, I was shocked to discover that my name wasn't added on the casting & crew list with the other actors. I am still hurt and upset by this, because this casting production left me uncredited as I so didn't deserve. I wish I knew what to do in order to fix this issue. I have looked through imdb help pages but still can't find an answer. Any suggestions anybody? I really would appreciate it.

Hi,

Were credited on these films? That is the current master criteria to be registered in the IMDb.
If so, you can add your name yourself, probably with the help of posting a corresponding screenshot here.

Hi Vincent,
I don't think they gave me any credits, and let alone any recognitions for my name being included. I did two student short films. On one of them I saw the names of about everyone who participated in the film, including some extras, as I was. The other film in its IMDB profile only featured the names of the main actors who held the starring roles, without any names of the extras. If you get where I'm coming from. I just need an answer to get my name included also. Any ideas you have are welcomed. Appreciate your response .

If these films are available publicly on the Internet, I think IMDb contributors or editors will crop the cast and crew to the on-screen credited entries, rather than expand it.

Can you please share the URLs of these films on the IMDb, so that other contributors can have their say?
