| | Posted: | | | | Today I saw at least the second contribution where someone tried to contribute Actor XYZ as As Himself because it's exactly as credited. Personally I think it's stupid (and bluntly told him so) but what does the community say? | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | I wouldn't think that "As" is actually part of the role, but just a signifier of what the role is, and that would be "Himself" | | | | Corey |

| | Posted: | | | | The credit, IMO, should be just "Himself"...XYZ as Himself. Adding "As" is redundant and unnecessary.
Getting a negative rep point for that is abuse of the system as well. | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |

| | Posted: | | | | | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | I Seventh that emotion!  Owning a lot of documentries where people are credited 'As Himself/Herself', I always leave the 'As' out of the equation.  | | | In the end; Winning is the only safety.

I agree with the negative feedback. It didn't call him stupid, I called the contribution stupid. But I didn't complain about the red zinger either. | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | Add me to the list of people that agree 'as' should be left out. I also agree that it is stupid to include it. Unfortunately, people are sensitive about that word so, while I don't agree with it, I do understand why they gave you a red arrow. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
