This can happen due to a number of reasons: typically this occurs when credits for the same person are added at the same time by different person, or when someone adds a new credit for a name that already exists on IMDb but doesn't select the correct name to which to add them.
Regardless of the cause, this is easily fixed.
If you are absolutely positive that all the information listed on the two pages belongs to the same person, then you can submit a correction to merge them. Again all of the data on the two pages must belong to the same individual, not just the credits: any biographical information, photos, trivia, contact info...
To submit a merge, go to the page for the name with the highest roman numeral and submit a correction so that it's changed to the name with the lowest numeral. For example, if you see two pages listed under the name Haldane Morris (I) and Haldane Morris (II), you would go to the page for Haldane Morris (II) and submit a correction to change his name into Haldane Morris (I).
The exact steps are:
This change should be live within 7/10 days on average.

The exact steps are:
- Go to the page for Haldane Morris (II)
- Click on the yellow 'Edit Page' button
- Find the 'Name Correction' option and select 'Add Correction' from the menu
- Click on 'Continue'
- In the 'Name correction' field enter the exact name you want to merge to (in this case you would enter Haldane Morris (I)
- In the 'Explanation' field enter a reason why you are requesting this change so our editors know what you're doing (e.g. "Haldane Morris (I) and (II) are the same person".
- Click on 'Check these updates'
- The next page will display a warning saying that the corrected name already exists and that the change will result in the two pages being merged. SInce this is exactly what you want, check the box that says 'Warning understood' to acknowledge and confirm, and click on 'Re-check these updates'
- On the next page, unless there are any other warnings or typos, the background of the form will have changed to green, indicating that all the data is ready to be submitted. Click on 'Submit these updates' to send the correction to our editors for processing.
This change should be live within 7/10 days on average.

I am only seeing one page for you. Is the other page under a slightly different name?

Looks like the pages are already being merged, so at this point the best thing to do is wait and the credits should appear on the same page within a few days.
