I don't how to get IMDB to correct this, but the James Latimore in "The Mating Season" is the same actor as James Larmore in"A Foreign Affair.

Yes. In "A Foreign Affair", he plays a rather small part, but in "The Mating Season" his part is more prominant. It's definitely the same person. I haven't seen "The Girl In The Red Velvet Swing".
Oh and I tried to do an edit, but I didn't want to add this information as trivia.

I added trivia to both films. Both comments might be removed,It should be removed. That there is an error on IMDb is not really trivia about the film and won't be accurate once this is fixed.
and they ARE the same actor, right down to both actors looking exactly the same, having the exact same voice and even both having the same mole of his face!No one has questioned you on that so there's no need to repeat and shout about it...the issue is about "The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing" and whether that's the same person as the fix for that is different. While folks are working on it, there's no need to be adding trivia that will then need to be removed. It wastes staff time, twice.
Thanks but that last part of your comment was very offensive, since I was not 'shouting' at all. It's very difficult to make this kind of comment when an actor appears under multiple names. I understand that you don't want people with wrong information to post or alter anything. I'm not suggesting that is any error in the IMDB listings at all. There's no reason on earth to assume that I don't have the best intentions.

In posts, all caps is taken as SHOUTING. If you meant to add italics, highlight the text and then click the "I" to convert the text, to emphasis the word(s).
You said you added it as a trivia item. If what you're saying is true, then in fact is an error in the IMDb listing. We're all trying to do the same thing. Locate the mistake and correct it. Now you know that what you're writing is mostly taken as shouting (in addition to repeating it), it makes it difficult to get through the histrionics and to the core of the issue.
I am having trouble locating "A Foreign Affair." Since you have the DVD, can you supply a screen capture of the name in the credits and shot of his face? It'd help support the request and get it approved more easily.
Also, it'd help to know which page should remain and which should be merged into the other and how to notate (if appropriate) the difference in spelling and if it was misspelled on screen as opposed to misspelled when added to IMDb.

Above, gromit asked, "Was he credited in each of the films for which he is listed by the same
spelling on the respective IMDb page? Or did whoever submitted his
credits to IMDb get the spelling wrong when submitting them to IMDb?
You replied, "yes." Yes to the former or latter?

This guy was listed as Larmore in "A Foreign Affair", and as Lorimer in "The Mating Season" and the below screen capture.

So, we have, re: The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing:
Same guy. I have no idea how to do a screen capture.

No worries. I'll submit it and we'll see if accepted as is. In the mean time maybe I'll find a way to see it.
As to screen caps, the easiest way is to play the DVD on your pc and when what you want to save is on screen, press and hold "function" key and press "print screen" or usually "prt sc." you can then "paste" into a program such as "paint" and save the image to your pc. Then here in a post you can click the little camera icon and select the file from your pc and click to upload it. If you have dropbox (dropbox.com) when you click "print screen," it'll place the pic into your drop box, then when you reply here simply choose it and upload or you can send a link to your drop box to send it in a message to help desk, etc. (good for emailing files like pics, music, etc.) it's very easy to use (easy was a big thing for me!).
So, I requested to merge the Name Page for "Larmore" into the page for Lorimer and indicated the credit should be noted "(as James Larmore)" so if someone is watching the credits and looking for the actor's page, they'll find it and it'll show that it was credited differently, so that he/she doesn't need to request to change it back to its own page.
Now we'll just wait a few days to see if it's accepted as is.
Thanks!

The listing on IMBD is correct for "A Foreign Affair". His character name is not mentioned in the film. He is the character who enters the nightclub to tell John Lund's character that Colonel Plummer wants to see him in his office. He stays with Jean Arthur's character in club. He is also shown attempting Russian dancing in front of the set of drums too.

Oh, I also forgot to mention an alternate way to create a screen capture, play the DVD on your TV and use a digital camera or cell phone camera to take a photo and transfer and save the file to a pc and then click the camera icon here and choose the file as you saved it.

Do you mean, however, that James Lorimer (and do you know if The Girl in the Rd Velvet Swing is also the same perrson?) and James Larmore are the same person? I don't see a "JamesLatimore" mentioned on any of the connected pages or listed on IMDb.
