Harry Fielder?




Why is Harry Fielder listed in the credits? He's not listed in the actual screen credits, so why has he been inserted here? He seems to have worked on many, many films as an extra, which is all very laudable but surely he shouldn't be listed in any IMDb credits unless he had a genuine screen credit in the film.

I don't begrudge him bigging up his part in the UK film biz by blagging his way into IMDb, but I'd expect those who run the database to weed out this sort of misinformation and ensure that he's only listed for films where he's received a genuine screen credit - otherwise it demeans the contributions of genuine actors (he's often inserted above them in IMDb credits) and opens the door for every extra to demand they too are included in the IMDb credits.

It's interesting to read a list of the films he's appeared in as an extra, and he clearly has some great stories to tell - but perhaps administrators could confine mention of him to just his own page unless he's got a screen credit?

Thank you for the write up. I spent most of my life working in films and tv as an ''Extra'' And loved it...It was better than 9-5 for a lifetime and soon to be a biog in book form.

Aitch,
