Gaurav: That's not possible, at least not as IMDb is currently operated. The occupations listed under a person's name as in your example are determined automatically based on the limited selection of occupations defined by IMDb and the number of credits the person has in each such occupation.

Although Tony Boldi has more "Self" credits than he has "Actor" credits on his page, "Self" is not an occupation that can be listed under a person's name by IMDb. (Nor is "TV Host", which is a description of what he does but not an officially designated IMDb occupation.)

So, for comparison, German chancellor Angela Merkel only has Self and Archive Footage credits on her page. But neither Self nor Archive Footage are classified as occupations for this purpose by IMDb. So she has no occupation at all listed under her name.
