Since there's only one title listed and I would presume that the error is just a misspelled first name, I would suggest going to the name page and submit a correction in the Name Update section. Specifically, a Name Correction or Merge.
Type the name this way:
Woodford, Bob
Uncheck the box to the left of the statement:
Preserve previous name on existing credits. i.e. '(as Bon Woodford)'
Type a brief statement in the Explanation box.
(For example, Correcting misspelled first name from Bon to Bob.)
You can also post the URL of this discussion in the Explanation box as proof.
On the next Update Information... page, you'll get two yellow warning messages that need to be acknowledged.
1. The name 'Woodford, Bob' is not currently in the database.
Scroll down to the bottom of the name list and click the radio button to the left of the following statement:
Correct the name to 'Woodford, Bob' - do not merge it with another name.
2. By unticking the box to preserve existing credits, you are implying they are incorrect.
Click the check box to the left of the following statement:
Warning understood, go ahead anyway.
The update page should now be in green. Click the Submit these updates button at the bottom of the screen. Give at least 2-3 days for the data to be accepted and corrected on the IMDb page.
I hope this helps. Please write back if you have any more questions.
