Daud


After completing the game, I noticed that one of my favorite actors, Michael Madsen, did Daud's voice. However, he is not given credit here on iMDB. Why is that? Anyhow, I loved this game... Would make for a fantastic movie (If done right, not in the Uwe Boll style of video game movies!).

I actually submitted this as an update on 18th Dec 2012 but for some reason it was ignored. And here I am 4 months later checking back to see if it's fixed but it still isn't.

Some guys specifically request not to be credited in things. Like Michael Jackson and Dustin Hoffman in their well-know cameo appearances in the early seasons of The Simpsons.

They request not to be given credit on IMDB, or the film/game?
Because Madsen is given credit in the game.

Oh, in that case, it's probably just that nobody's bothered to add his name to the list. IMDB is essentially a heavilly moderated Wiki. If nobody tells them an actor did a job, they won't magically know about it...

But in a more general sense, when actors request to not be given credit, it's usually just for the credits in the movie/show/game. Often, their names will appear in IMDB anyway with the tag "(Uncredited)". Once again, because IMDB is esentailly a commercial wiki, so if a fan submits an actors name for a work, and they did actually contribute to it, they'll probably be acknowledged, even if they refused a place on the official credits. However, if they were really determined to not be credited at all, I'm sure they could contact IMDB and IMDB would remove their name from the page.
