TheTVDB allows for several different categories of Person Types, including:

Actor

Creator (should be limited to TV)

Crew (those who have worked on a series/movie, but do not fit amongst the other categories aka miscellaneous crew)

Director

Executive Producer

Guest Star (should be limited to TV)

Host

Musical Guest

Producer

Showrunner (should be limited to TV)

Writer

All Persons need to be entered in separately (except for Groups ... see below) and should be able to be cited by a source of truth (e.g. credits in a film or series as produced by network/studio owners).

For Groups: TheTVDB allows for bands, K-Pop groups, and comedy troupes to be added as singular records in our database. The image associated with the record should be inclusive of the band/group's photo and the credit given to the TV show or movie in which they appear should follow the credits on the title's source of truth. Example, BTS is credited as BTS on Disney+'s "Permission to Dance." However, individual band members may be credited under their respective names on other content. As always, individual members of the band can also be listed on their own stand-alone entry.
