Forum:Should we include stunt actors in the info box?
Well, I was recently editing Ninth Doctor, when I rememberd that Christopher Ecclestone couldn't dance, and that in The Doctor Dances, as stunt dancer was brought in to represent him. I looked it up, and found that his name was "Frank Rozelaar-Green." I added this to his pagee. However, another editor removed it, and I now wonder, should we add Stunt actors to the actors sections on pages? On one hand, it is useful information and needs to be kept somewhere, but on the other hand, it does take up a lot of space, and makes the page clutterd. Maybe we should Mae a separate page for it, especially as I note that "Stunt performer" is new series only.
Other Doctor stunt actors includes Terry Walsh as the Fourth Doctor and the Third Doctor. --OS24 03:29, November 28, 2011 (UTC)

- They are usually not credited, so I would say no. If they are, it should go in behind the scenes (and if they are not credited, find a source). The problem with adding it to the infobox is that the list can get very long - we could have stunt doubles, dance doubles, horse riding fillers, an another case like the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor, singing vocals, etc. The list goes on and on - if people really want to add it - I would suggest the behind the scenes section.

- I'd agree with MM in putting it in the Behind the scenes section, as there you're able to give a lot more information, like what the stunt performer was doing as OS24 and MM have noted there are a range of stunt performers for a variety of things. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:47, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, that seems reasonable. --OS24 19:58, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
