I've managed to get 4 of Drew Roy's 5 The Last Ship credits to show his character name but this one episode will not change. I've tried to update it several times but it's not taking. His character's name is Christos (supported by Drew Roy's Instagram account and being named on screen); however, the first episode he went unnamed, so I dubbed him Vellick's son which seemed an appropriate title until his name was revealed, which it was in the next episode.

Hi Adrian -

I was able to see that the character name correction was not accepted because our editors were unable to verify the information.

Can you confirm if Mr. Roy was credited on-screen with the character name "Christos" for the "Lazaretto" episode?  If so, please post a screen grab of the credit here and our staff can take another look.

Michelle,

Like many TV shows, most of the cast list are never credited with a character name. Drew Roy's credits appeared during the opening of the show during the "guest stars" listing of the cast where only the actor's name is shown. This is true for all 5 episodes that Drew Roy appeared in. I'm really having a hard time understanding why these credits have been so hard for me to change. I never have these problems.

So, no Drew Roy was never listed in the cast list as Christos. But then again, he was also never listed on screen as "Velleck's Son" either. Like virtually every TV character, they are introduced and we use that name (or if no name is available, a description) of the character. I've edited thousands of TV episodes and this is the first one that just will not change.

Here, again, is Drew Roy's Instagram post where he names his character.

Other than watching all 5 episodes and finding out that he plays a single character, I'm not sure what else can be done.

Hi Adrian -

Thanks for the additional details, this sounded familiar and I just now recalled your previous post about these credits.  I've now gone ahead and modified the remaining credit with the character name "Christos", the change should be live on the site shortly.  Cheers!
