Wrong Alan?

I don't think this is the same Alan Carter. The one in this photo has this IMDb listing. The one we want has this IMDb listing and this NY Times listing.--MiamiVolts (talk) 16:42, 28 December 2008 (EST)

  • I think they're the same person (kind of like how James Storm and Jim Storm are both James Storm, and this Jim Storm is miscredited as being in Heroes--sometimes IMDb makes those kinds of mistakes). The Alan Carter pictured is definitely matched with this bio, which says that he is a producer and writer (and a whole lot of other things) with tons of credits. This IMDb guy only lists two credits, whereas this one lists many. The bio says that Alan produced TV's 100 Most Memorable Moments (which matches with this IMDb) and wrote The Soap Opera Awards (which sort of matches with the NY Times credits, which lists him as the editor). I have a feeling that when you have a producer/writer/editor/director who 1) has a very common first and last name, 2) is very prolific, 3) is a multi-hyphenate, and 4) does a lot of single shows, variety hours, awards ceremonies, and other odds and ends, that you're going to get a few multiple bios, none of which list everything....But I'm determined to get to the bottom of it and find out for sure if we've got the right guy. I'll send a message to he guy in the picture and I'll simply ask him whether he directed the Heroes show or not. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:41, 28 December 2008 (EST)
