Added. Do you have roles associated with them?

Dleedlee,

Sorry, these actors are new to me. I don't know what they look like. Cd not identify their roles in the movie. Thanks for updating for me. :D

I have been thinking about actors database. If we include all actors in movie credits, the actors database would be bloated and these actors seldom appear in more 5 movies. I have been compiling a huge database of HK & China actors and it keep growing. I sometimes wonder why am I doing that and what I am going to do with them. I got carried away.
Wd appreciate your views.

Here's my personal view: I think we should concentrate on the major and minor (regular supporting characters) roles primarily. Knowing those who only have a few credits doesn’t help too many people and should be relegated to a lower priority. Sometimes we discover that an actor has more credits than we originally realized but if the person only has a few credits where’s the benefit?. One exception I can think of may be if it the role was a significant one, though off the top of my head I can’t think of an example. I personally would prefer to have a more comprehensive in depth database than a broader but less focused one, if that makes sense.

Speaking only for myself.
