His Chinese name is currently 錢千裡. I imagine this is due to the fact he was added via a Mainland movie that uses simplified characters in the credits, and the editor assumed the 里 in his name was the 里 that is the simplified form of 裡, but he was regularly credited as 錢千里 before simplified characters were introduced. I've added 'as-credited' tags to the Chinese role names I could verify to support this. Any objections to changing his name to 錢千里?

Nice find. I have changed the primary name and removed the alias, but have left in place the Big5 credited-as annotations (for now). And I actually uncovered a bug that was preventing this from being updated as well.

Richard Poh (Bu Wancang) as well. I'm pretty sure 蔔 is not a real family name. 卜 is correct.
