As I'm updating the Norwegian edition of South Park: Bigger, longer & uncut I faced a little problem in the credits. The credit goes Saddam Hussein ( as role) Played by: Himself.
I know there is just a picture of him, but it's not Saddam that perform his voice, that is either Matt or Trey. So far I go for Name: Saddam Hussein - Role: Himself. Anyone agreed on that, or should it be listed differently? The name "Himself" isn't really a name, but a "role" isn't it?

If you can find out who did the voice, you could credit them as:

Trey Parker (credited as Saddam Hussein) playing Himself (voice)
or
Matt Stone (credited as Saddam Hussein) playing Himself (voice)

Seems the best way to do it.
But if you can't find out who did the voice then:
Saddam Hussein playing Himself (voice)

would also be fine.

Ken's clarified this situation not long ago he said if the credits shows:

Saddam Hussein  Himself

or

Himself  Saddam Hussein

It should be entered as

Name: Saddam Hussein
Role: Himself

but if the credits actually says something like...

Himself As Saddam Hussein
or
Himself playing Saddam Hussein

or something similar to that... then you credited it useing the common name field...

Name: Saddam Hussein [Himself]
Role: Saddam Hussein

Just a very quick google search says Matt Stone did the voice.

I would get more than just one site to verify that it was him.

I found that too, but since rules say, Exactly as credited, I goo for Name: Saddam Hussein, Role: Himself

I would do as Northbloke said to do.

Use credited as for Matt Stone, ie : Matt Stone (credited as Saddam Hussein) playing Himself (voice)


It is allowed be the rules to use credited as.
"Use the "Credited As" field where the person's name differs from the credited name."
