Adding credit to series with no cast list

I have just had a look at the cresits for Jake Farrow, who plays an actor called Christopher Cane, who voices the ventriloquist's dummy Rex in a couple of Nickelodeon shows. Rex is in a majority of the episodes of Victorious, but Farrow is only listed in 3. The series has no cast list, only the individual episodes. So is there a way to add the credits without doing it for each episode? And will it be accepted if I provide a series cast list for the main cast?

Hi Stay Wilde- If this person is credited on more episodes, you are welcome to review our following Help Guide for further detailed instructions on how to add episodic credits to multiple episodes: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/how-do-i-add-an-episodic-credit/GRRHUZAQPQV4T2F9?ref_=helpsrall#multipleep As per our guidellines above as well, parent series do not have credits listed as mentioned here: "Credits on episodic TV shows must be submitted as additions to individual episodes of the show, rather than to the main parent listing for the series. In other words, even if someone worked on several episodes of a show or even for one or more seasons, they should be added to the cast or crew of each episode in which they were featured." Cheers!

Ok, thanks for the help. Can I ask what the parent listing is for? Because I've definitely misunderstood the guidelines. I thought it was for main cast, the people who appear in the series opening credits.

Stay: Submitting cast members to the series overall (as opposed to submitting them to specific episodes) is mostly done when the series is first being entered into the database. At that point, there are no episodes listed, but often the main cast are known. However, once episodes start being included in the database, the cast members are supposed to be added to the episodes from then on, rather than to the parent listing. IMDb prefers to store all cast credits for a TV series in the episode listings rather than at series level.
