Forum:Credits for actors/characters

At the end of most episodes, the co-stars are listed with the characters they played. A large number of the characters are described instead of given names, even when some of them are named in the episode. An example is during Day 2 11:00pm-12:00am, when a character is addressed by Jack as Brian, but the character is listed in the credits merely as CTU Officer.

I believe it is appropriate to leave the list of co-stars as they are presented at the end of the episode, but any name, if spoken or seen, should be placed in parentheses after the description. Meaning, Brian should be listed as  CTU Officer (Brian) , which would look like CTU Officer (Brian). I have done this for a handful of episode co-star lists, such as Day 3 8:00am-9:00am.

This would be a good practice because: 1) it is faithful to the actual co-star list seen in the episode, and 2) it appends the character's name without superceding the list itself. For those reasons, and since it is a small detail-oriented change, please let me know if you support this or not. – Blue Rook 05:20, 19 August 2007 (UTC)talk contribs
