This isn't Ian Mckellen

Whatever idiot wrote it in on this IMDB profile that Ian Mckellen has an uncredited role in this needs to remove it. The porn photographer in question is so not Ian Mckellen, he bears only a slight passing resemblance to Ian Mckellen of maybe 15 years ago, but Ian Mckellen in 1978 was 39 and looked nothing that old. You can easily find pictures of him online from that very year. His hair wasnt even gray. If anyone reading this can modify both the profile of this movie and Ian Mckellen needs to do it.

I submitted the following update about an hour ago

Update summary

Corvette Summer (1978)
Cast - Delete

Name: McKellen, Ian
Character: Porn Photographer
Attribute: (uncredited)
Explanation: The actor in question is David Byrd. He is already credited as "Loop Camerman." David Byrd bears a a vague resemblance to Ian McKellan, but is clearly older. I doublechecked my copy of Corvette Summer against the pictures of David Byrd on the following site - http://www.aveleyman.com/ActorCredit.aspx?ActorID=34171 - Ian McKellan is definitely not in Corvette Summer, although I see someone has added the movie to his credits on Wikipedia, which is my next stop.
