* ''Series/TheReallyLoudHouse'' does this with the role of Emily Ford as Lily Loud in all of her appearances, instead only giving credit to her double, August Michael Peterson. The series also does this to most of its minor characters who appear without any dialogue, even if their names are mentioned. A notable exception to this trend across the series is Alizae, who has her name listed in the credits of her only appearance, "What's a Mother to Redo", despite not having any dialogue in the episode. Likewise, Mrs. Uggo appears without dialogue in her first appearance in "The Princess and the Everlasting Emerald: A Royal Woods Fairytale" and is thus uncredited in the episode, but strangely still remains uncredited when she makes an off-screen voice cameo appearance in "All Is Fair in Love and Sleepovers".

* Creator/CamClarke (Liquid Snake) and Creator/JohnCygan (Solidus Snake) are not credited in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4'' despite the use of their voice recordings from previous installments. This is a result of a localization oversight in the game's closing credits. Due to the death of Koji Totani (Revolver Ocelot's voice actor in the Japanese version), the role was taken over by Banjo Ginga under the pretense of Liquid Snake's personality taking over Revolver Ocelot's mind. Pat Zimmermann was unaffected by this and still voiced Ocelot in the English version, but the credits were not changed to reflect this casting difference in the English version and thus, Zimmermann is credited twice (once for his present role as Liquid Ocelot and the second time for the use of Revolver Ocelot clips from previous games). As for Solidus Snake, the character was played Akio Otsuka in Japanese, who also voices protagonist Solid Snake, resulting in only one character being credited in the Japanese version.
