I am doing a cast list for a TV Show right now... and I came up with something odd that I don't know how to handle.

Some is credited with First Name - Middle Name - Last Name Initial...

as seen below it should be...

Michael Richard B. as Kid Trapped in Traffic...



But when I try to do that the program automatically turns his name to Michael B. Richard.

The only thing I can come up with to do about it is let it change his name to Michael B. Richard and use the Credited As to fix it to Michael Richard B. but that just don't seem right to me somehow.  Only problem is... what else could you do?

Has anyone else ever seen the last name just being an initial like this before? This is something Ken might need to look at?

Just found another solution... which I think would be preferable....

I can put him in as Michael Richard B [Michael Richard B.] as Kid Trampledin Traffic

IT seems that it is the period after the letter B that makes it shift to the middle name.

I've just tried, and I have no problem entering Michael/Richard/B., Michael//Richard B., Michael Richard B.// or any other way of parsing. Are you absolutely sure? Here's a screenshot of my Michael/Richard/B. entry:

No problem here either. "B." can be perfectly valid last name.

Strange... I must have done something wrong the first time... as it is working perfectly for me now. No problems what so ever. Thanks... and sorry about that!
