Name not displaying profile when crediting myself

Hi, is it possible for someone to shed some light on an issue I seem to be having please. When I attempt to credit myself to a role my name is not coming up in the search box. Meaning it's not presenting my profile to choose. Any ideas why? Thanks

Do you already have other credits listed?

A name will only come up in the form if there is already a page under that name. So you should probably select the option "This is a different person not currently listed" in the form.

Sorry, one more question if thats ok. I had my contribution accepted. But my profile photo does not show up next to my name, though i uploaded one to my profile. Is there a reason for this? Thanks!

@dimitrioscofinas- Hi, For name pages on IMDb, only the name page owners can add/update images to their pages. For this, an active IMDbPro membership is required and a claimed on the name page to display photos.

Hey, thanks for getting back to me. I think i know what you mean. So i have added myself to a movie i was in as an actor, but i opened a profile previously and uploaded a photo. This is all present now. But when i click my profile i dont see it credited to my filmography and my name on the movie page just has a grey generic none profile photo.
