Actor[edit]

The introduction requires you to name the actor. Don't make your first mention of the actor into a bracketted name, after the name of the character. That is a rude way to treat the principal actor in a film that you have written an article about. State in the Intro: The central character, name, was played by name. Then mention the other important actors in a similar way.

"That is a rude way..." - Erm... so is saying "this requires you" when no policies or guidelines require so. The actor in a certain role is certainly not required, as several FAs (like Ruma Maida) don't name the actor in relation to his / her role.

I've added a sentence, but next time please be bold. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:35, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
