miscredits?
Wow, trying to get the facts on some of the "little people" actors
since I have a large collection of them and one of them is the subject of where to put him on my site...I got a signature recently from Albert Wilkinson who I loved in Willy Wonka. When I was writing, someone told me he was a jawa and possibly a droid in Star Wars. Another site lists Jedi. Two other sites say he is appearing with actors from Star Wars but was not in Star Wars. So I find another article that says he was, but no mention of what character or specific film. However, they go on to list Oompa Loompas. This was interesting because a couple other people claim to have been Oompa Loompas and some photos show up to 10 Oompas... but David Wolper says only 8. Someone else said there were others in the wings in case one didn't work out but didn't appear on screen. Still a photo I've seen does have at least 9. There's no Rusty Geoff mentioned there but I've seen many credits as him being one... and several others on a "little people" website list Harry Potter and Willy Wonka as credits but nowhere else does it say that. I saw one time Felix Silla credited for Willy Wonka (but I don't think so). I've encountered this many times, with many people. Not just little people. There are other jawas and Stormtroopers that most likely weren't and so this makes me wonder: how many out there do actually lie on their CV's? Hmmm. I wonder if people lie about any film where there are tons of people behind masks etc. I usually ask for clarification in my letters, but sometimes, like this one, there is no response outside of a signature. The best thing to do is get a hold of call sheets but even those aren't accurate. I've seen and have a few and sometimes they just put generic terms on there or spell names wrong. So I wonder how many miscredited people there are out there! Does anyone have any in their collections that they wonder about? |
