My first nomination for an "unknown actor" page goes to this guy. We call him "Unknown English Actor (1)" and create a page for him, with these movies as his filmography. We also link known IDs to this name as well.

Anyone second the idea?

I tried to revive this up in the Suggestions forum as as well...

by **Gaijin84** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 1:42 pm

Anyone have an opinion on this?

by **Brian Thibodeau** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 7:14 pm

I'll second it. I think it's a great idea to sort of pre-organize a lot of these mystery people.

I noticed Bob was OK with it in that other thread as well. Perhaps that's carte blanche?

by **Gaijin84** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 3:45 pm

Brian - It looks that way. I think we have STSH, Bob and others agreeing.

If no one objects, I'll create this first Unknown ID in 7 days and link the respective films and pics.

by **dleedlee** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 3:47 pm

Make it so!

Have we agreed on a naming convention? Is it: Unknown (n), Alias - nickname?

by **Gaijin84** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 3:54 pm

I think something that indicates that the person is unknown is best - if we have nicknames it could be confusing for people looking at cast lists for the first time. I submit we use the "Unknown Actor (1)" naming. If we want to we could also add in some other kind of general identifier like "English", "Caucasian", "Female," etc.

by **heinz Germany** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 3:57 pm

Maybe an overview page for all unknown actors added together with one significent picture will be nice?

by **Gaijin84** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 4:01 pm

Definitely - eventually a consolidated page is a must.

by **Gaijin84** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 4:11 pm

sounds like a consensus on this - I'll knock the objection time down to 1 day - I'll make this first guy this weekend

I meant using the Alias field option to put something usefully memorable (and searchable) rather than trying to remember if English Mo was Unknown #7 or #8. All optional, but handy for aggregating by a group of editors. Just a thought.

e.g.,
Unknown (7)
Aliases: English Mo

ahh - gotcha

that's a great idea

Great stuff, guys !
Make it happen.

by **Gaijin84** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 7:22 pm

ok - our first unknown actor filmography is created.

If there are any changes someone feels are appropriate to the setup, please bring them up now before we create many more of these pages...

I think it looks pretty good so far.

One quick question, in the Dream of Desire (1989) cast list these is someone named "Uncle Sam." Is this another alias for this actor?

by **heinz Germany** » Mon Aug 04, 2008 7:09 am

This is a big progress IMO. We should make names like this:
Unknown SB 70's Actor 01 (for example)

Looks fine to me.

Great idea.

I add my first unknowns when I find the time. I have many unknown lists with at few times over 100 movies for one person!!!

I posted the credits for that film here in the forums. "Uncle Sam" only appears in English in the opening credits. No Chinese equivalent. Clearly he rated a mention at the beginning of the film, but I never could figure out who he was.

Late on this one, wow!

This is a fantastic idea! :lol:

by **Gaijin84** » Thu Aug 07, 2008 11:58 am

For some reason this ID from Inter-Pol (1967) was credited to English Mo:

removed the ID - is this supposed to be Unknown SB Actor (1)?

by **Michael Kistner** » Fri Aug 08, 2008 7:11 am

Did now correct ID at INTER-POL.

Such mistakes can happen when you add names to many, many movies. Sorry if it was my mistake.

by **Teddy Wong** » Fri Aug 29, 2008 10:21 pm

Another movie should be added to his filmography: Vampire family (1993)

His portrait appears on the image gallery
