Dear Sir/Madam,

This has been an ongoing problem, there is a credit on my IMDb page that is there in error, as I wasn't part of the production, I've checked with my agent just in case I'm going crazy, but as I thought, definitely not something I was hired for.

This is quite distressing as it also displays their trailer as the main video on my page, which is grossly unfair. I've tried to have it removed via the contributor edit page, but all I get is a 'Unable to verify' message.

I am the actor in question so I'd certainly know if I was part of that production, I'm happy to verify my identity if necessary. Please remove this credit and video asap. Links below:

My IMDb page:
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1701680/

The credit to be removed:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3183382/

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,
James

In order to prove your claim, it would be best if you could identify the other James Fisher in the movie in question and provide URL proof of the video along with a screengrab showing that it is a different person. You have plenty of pictures on your name page. If it is as you claim then the image as proof will be enough. IMDb will then no longer be unable to verify!!
Good luck.

Hi Ed, and thanks for the response, much appreciated.
Trouble is, I'd have to somehow find this film, purchase it, watch it, try and trace this other character to provide evidence... a fair amount of work for what's probably a simple error somewhere.
I'll wait to hear what an IMDb adviser says, I really hope it doesn't come to that.
Once again, appreciate your response.
All the best,
James

No - like I said, if there was a way to NOT make their trailer the main video on my page, I wouldn't even mind!

Do you know if that's possible?

I will look at the video and post what I find here.
Unless you know what I will already find.
So, shall I?

Nah don't bother, I'm in the process of uploading video which according to IMDb's upload priority rules, will push it off as main video on my page anyway.
