Infobox list of actors[edit]

@IJBall: I think Whaledon was getting at the fact that, per the latest poster, those were the actors listed in the billing block. That is the billing block, right, the text at the bottom? Or when you say "billing block", are you only referring to the "above line" credits? —Joeyconnick (talk) 22:30, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Joeyconnick: FTR, I could not read this poster's billing block (and it's not at IMDb), as per it being low-res. But, in this particular case, there seems to be no compelling reason not to list simply the "above the line" credits – there is little doubt that Lynch and Holt are the "primary stars" here. YMMV. --IJBall (contribstalk) 22:36, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@IJBall: Just FYI, the poster is at IMDb. It's not easy to read but that version is legible. —Joeyconnick (talk) 23:24, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks for that. WP:FILMCAST has some wise words on this kind of thing, and I still think that leaving the infobox listing to just Lynch and Holt makes the most sense in this particular case, rather than doing a "laundry list" of most of the cast. But I guess I no longer object if someone insists upon going with the billing block listing over the concise "above the line" listing. --IJBall (contribstalk) 01:58, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
