Posted: 6/4/05 at 11:25pmI did a film a few years back, and though I am not mentioned on imdb, I was curious as to why - so I looked the film up on line, and noticed that they mispelled my name. Therefore, this film, screened at festivals had my mispelled name all over the place! How does one rectify this? (And do I put myself "credited as..." on my resume?)
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Posted: 6/5/05 at 12:01amyou could do that, unless theres a way to change it... but people who have seen it probably remember the mispelled name, you know? so maybe you should put it on your resume

I DOn't think that's the smartest thing ever.

Posted: 6/5/05 at 12:17amMy last name is both my Mother's maiden name and my father's hyphenated together. However under my IMDB it says I can also be found without the hyphen (this is due to stupid Social Security mess up when I was born but that is a long story)
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail
