Currently, this photo is the headshot for Kees Boot: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0095614/mediaviewer/rm999344384. He isn't his usual self in this picture, as you might have guessed. So will a staffer please make it so that this photo still appears on his page, but not as his headshot? (and yes, I know that leaves him without a headshot, but I think that's still better than the current situation).

Are there image restrictions? When uploading images to an IMDb page, we don't allow the following:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't see a problem with any of these. As long as it is him on the photo, it should stay active. It's certainly better than no headshot.
Besides:
"Users can suggest updates or report images which appear on your page. These requests are carefully vetted by IMDb data editors before publication."
This means that this was either uploaded by Mr. Boot himself or has been approved by imdb after another user uploaded it. No need for a change. Keep it.

Hi Marco,
Thanks for your post.
As mentioned by Horst, this headshot is within our guidelines and cannot be unset - we cannot make exceptions, doing so would create an unrealistic precedent.
Thanks for understanding.
