Talk:List of male television actors

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'd have to question the wisdom of including the names of all the TV shows each actor has been in. This list has the potential to get very long very quickly, and many - indeed, most - TV actors have a string of credits as long as one's arm. They are not known for just one show.

I agree, listing every show someone has been in is likely to be difficult, to say the least. However, I think in many cases, whilst an actor has been in a number of shows they are known in particular for one show, or a few shows. That was the aim (for me anyway) of giving credits, to give one or a show shows each actor is particularly known for. I think that could be useful, at least so you know why someone is on the list, if they haven't got an entry yet, or if you're just browsing on the list. Silverfish 16:14, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)
