gardibolt put these in a contribution for Clerks X and it was approved but it never seems to have been added here.

A correction to this:  The Ken Clark in CLERKS is a *third* Ken Clark.  After someone raised a question, I contacted the Stunt Man Ken Clark via email and while he confirmed all the other credits he said he is NOT the Ken Clark who was in CLERKS.  I have contacted several people involved in CLERKS but none of them knew any contact information for that Ken Clark, let alone a birth year.  So he should NOT be linked to the other two Ken Clarks.  My contribution on CLERKS X, sad to say, was in error, for which I apologize, and thus far I've hit a dead end for differentiating him.

I am currently preparing a contribution for the australian tv-series "Hey Dad" where one of the main characters is played by australian actor Paul Smith. There is another actor Paul Smith who played Rabban in Dune.

Sources for the australian actor (born 1968):

It seems that the Paul Smith from Dune has a middle name (Lawrence), but credit lookup tool gives 199 titles (430 profiles) for Paul Smith and only 55 titles (133 profiles) for Paul L. Smith, so I gather he should be credited as Paul Smith...

Ken Ralston 29 titles (47 profiles)
Kenneth Ralston 1 titles (3 profiles)

I always thought it was a rule to use the name which is mentioned in more profiles as the common name?

But the number of entries the CLT returns for "Paul Smith" doesn't tell you anything: that number contains various people named "Paul Smith". So you can't really compare them with the "Paul L. Smith" number. To be absolutely sure, you'd need to find out whether that particular Paul (L.) Smith is actually mostly credited with or without his middle initial. And the CLT won't provide you with a quick answer to that question.

(A birthyear is needed for the Australian actor though, as there are other Paul Smiths out there)

Thanks for clearing that up. 
This is how I have it locally for the moment and how it will be contributed later.

Is it nessasary to have a BY for Ian Fleming? It is not as though the actor was a crew member or
vice  versa?

Rogue.9 provided me link to Ian Fleming (1908 - 1964) Author of James Bond to his so called appearance in From Russia with Love http://www.eeggs.com/items/12057.html  and I got the DVD out and too be honest, you really can't tell.
The IMDB and the BFI do not have him uncredited and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Russia_with_Love_(film) also uncertain and they point to a Fan FAQ.
http://www.hmss.com/afjb/FAQpage4.htm

As for Interviews Ian Fleming (1908 - 1964) they have only so far being included in special feature of DVDs therefore he won't get a credit.
