Actors credits

[Trooper69]

Does anyone know why all TV series now don't show actors names alongside the roles they play.? I don't see the logic of this as very early sixties shows, especially American ones, always used to show this. If I was an actor, I'd like to know that people knew who I was playing so that agents might give me more work.

i would expect that an actors agent would know exactly what their client had acted in.
And any actor looking for work would list all credits on their CV or portfolio

I don't think that was the reason for the question, redcrx! I read it as Trooper69 often wants to know who has played a specific part for reasons such as a) they liked the actor/actress and would look out for them again or b) they fancy them! :o)

Trooper69 - Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is often good for that kind of info as is the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com)
