"Daddy's Head" Cast

Recently, I sent some updates to fill out the cast list for a new horror feature, called Daddy's Head. Several actors were missing, some character names were left blank, and if I remember correctly the cast order had at the time only one number inserted.

With regard to the order, since it's a chamber piece, I inputted the order for the top cast, to highlight the five central players listed in the opening credits. Since that update, one or more users has been sending cast order numbers that conflict with what is correct and/or that intermingles "top cast" with "in order of appearance" or perhaps even their own interpretation of who deserves what order. I corrected the top cast order again, and then once again other users—possibly even some of the actors themselves and/or their reps—added different numbers.

At this point, I have to give up the cast order updates tug-of-war. Maybe an IMDb manager could correct the order once and for all, be it top cast, or in order of appearance, or simply leave it all as alphabetical, and then flag it on your end to remain as you've indicated unless new or compelling circumstances arise. Although, I think it would be a disservice to the five main actors, who do all the heavy lifting in the film, to leave it in alphabetical order.

At any rate, here is the exact cast order that appears in Daddy's Head:

OPENING CREDITS

CAST CREDITS #1

CAST CREDITS #2

CAST CREDITS #3

CAST CREDITS #4

CAST CREDITS #5

END CREDITS

FULL CRAWL

Thanks for any thoughts on this one.

IMDb guidelines are clear that the full crawl should determine the order.

Independent of that, IMDb staff can set the stars to be displayed on the main page. Perhaps they will consider doing that here.

It's possible the staff considered setting the stars on the main page, even if they didn't implement it. In the meantime, I did correct the full order a couple months ago, when this was posted. Cheers.
