| 9 | For a variety of reasons (budget constraints, contractual obligations, CreatorBacklash, [[ForTheEvulz plain ol']] [[ExecutiveMeddling jackassery]], a ReclusiveArtist who thinks CelebrityIsOverrated, ''etc.''), sometimes a person will be involved in the creation of a work, but will go uncredited. It's generally only noteworthy if they played a significant role in the creative process (playing a major character, drafting a screenplay, writing a lyric); if the person is well-known enough to have a page on this wiki (many [[TheCameo cameos]] meet this description); or if the role they played was insignificant, but the person went on to achieve [[RetroactiveRecognition greater fame]] thereafter.[[note]]If we were to list ''every'' person who was involved in the work but went uncredited, this page would balloon to tens of thousands of words simply because of the hundreds of uncredited extras who appear in Hollywood films.[[/note]] |
| 10 | |
| 11 | In Hollywood, experienced screenwriters are often employed as uncredited "script doctors" to provide edits to existing drafts of screenplays before they go into production: these edits can range from simple punching up of the dialogue, to adding new scenes, to changing the entire structure of the screenplay. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | In literature, writers may be employed as "{{ghostwriter}}s"[[note]]Not to be confused with the [[Series/{{Ghostwriter}} series]] or [[Film/TheGhostWriter film]] of the same name.[[/note]] to write a book for another person: the latter person will be credited as the writer. The most common form this takes is when a celebrity hires a ghostwriter to pen their "auto"biography. The ghostwriter is usually bound to a non-disclosure agreement not to publicly reveal or discuss their involvement in the creation of the book, although they may be credited as an "editor" or "consultant" (in which case it's not an example of this trope). HousePseudonym (in which multiple ghostwriters are credited under a single pseudonym) is related to this trope. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | In music, it's common for solo artists or groups to employ "session musicians" when recording a song or an album: contracted musicians who will perform on one or more tracks, but who are not considered an official member of the group or the solo artist's backing band. Sometimes these musicians will not be credited in the liner notes for the release, but will later go on to achieve fame in their own right. In HipHop, it's an OpenSecret that many rappers employ ghostwriters to write lyrics for them, who will unusually go uncredited to preserve the {{Kayfabe}} that the rapper exclusively writes their own material (this is quite different from pop music, in which songwriters usually receive credit independent of the performer). Music producers will also sometimes serve as "ghost producers" for various reasons. Also, it's not unheard of to decline credit to a featured artist on a duet or guest appearance, if the featured artist is on a different label and cannot secure promotion rights. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | This was common industry practice in voiceover work for animation prior to the 1980s (see UnspecifiedRoleCredit for more information). |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Compare DeletedRole. See also AlanSmithee, for when a film director proves that they did not have creative control over a film and has the direction of the film credited to a pseudonym. An interesting case is when a creator is [[TypeCasting typecast]] in a particular role/genre, and goes uncredited in order to distance themselves from their usual type, which overlaps with HeAlsoDid. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Note that it's not an example if the person is credited under a PenName or alias, or if they're NotNamedInOpeningCredits but still credited at the end. Sometimes creators will deliberately go uncredited so that their part in the work will be a surprise for the audience, so some examples on this page will be spoilers. |

| 23 | !!Examples: |
| 24 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 25 | |
| 26 | [[folder:Anime]] |
| 27 | * Unfortunately, many anime TV series that are released in North America don't contain the entire Japanese credits roll, and only feature an abridged credits list (typically only listing the major positions like animation director and screenplay, etc.). As a result, crew members and supporting studios which are listed in the original Japanese credits are omitted in the North American release, this sometimes includes the original Japanese voices. |
| 28 | * This form of crediting is also used quite often in Japan, usually in regards to outsourcing studios lacking a proper staff roll. In some instances, certain shows will outright omit key staff members, animation studios or key animators, ''Literature/MarchenMadchen'' being a notorious example of this practice in action. Some titles like ''Manga/RinNe'', ''Manga/ToYourEternity'', ''Literature/LogHorizon'', ''Literature/GuinSaga'', ''Manga/{{Radiant}}'', and NHK airings of certain anime such as ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' and ''Manga/KeepYourHandsOffEizouken'' feature credits that lack any mention of their respective supporting contract studios and only credit the animators. |
| 29 | * Similarly, there are times in which a cast member of an anime does more than one character. While in English they tend to be credited most of the time for these extra roles, in Japan, if it's a major member of the cast, those secondary roles usually go uncredited in favor of the more important one. |
| 30 | * When ''Anime/TheFantasticAdventuresOfUnico'' and ''Anime/UnicoInTheIslandOfMagic'' gained an English dub in the 1980s. Creator/BarbaraGoodson wasn't credited as the english voice of ''Manga/{{Unico}}'' due to only crediting the Japanese cast. This resulted with rumors of Karen Prell voicing [[Manga/{{Unico}} the titular character]], however Prell later debunked the rumor of her voicing the character but speculated it was Barbara Goodson. At numerous convention appearances and interviews, Goodson confirmed that she was the voice of Unico. When Creator/DiscotekMedia re-released the movies on DVD in the early 2010s, Barbara Goodson was credited alongside the other voice actors. |
| 31 | * Starting with the Punk Hazard arc, the English dub of ''Manga/OnePiece'' changed how they credit the crew at Creator/{{Funimation}}, placing all those credits after the episode rather than in the OP like before. Unfortunately, the acting credits only list the main cast and a few important characters. Side characters and minor characters are left completely uncredited. Fans only learn who voices who from the actors themselves, from bugging the ADR directors, or from Funinmation putting out a press release. |
| 32 | * ''Anime/Persona3TheMovie'': Shinya Takahashi was not credited for providing Koromaru's barks, with Koromaru's voice actor only being listed as "???" in the credits. His role in the movies was only revealed after he reprised his role for ''VideoGame/Persona3Reload''. |
| 33 | * ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'': Theodore [=McFarlane=] goes without a voice actor credit in his first speaking appearance during Nanao's TroubledBackstoryFlashback in "Soldier", despite significantly more minor characters getting credits. |
| 34 | * When ''Anime/RingingBell'' (''Chirin no Suzu'') was released to the western market in the early 1980s, Barbara Goodson wasn't credited as the voice of [[SweetSheep Young Chirin.]] She would later get credited when the movie was re-released on DVD in 2014. |
| 35 | * For the English dub of ''Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato'' (''called Star Blazers''), the dub cast were not credited onscreen due to actor's union restrictions, this being a non-union job. |
| 36 | * The 4Kids dub of ''Anime/TokyoMewMew'', ''Mew Mew Power'', had most of the Japanese staff uncredited, including the show's director, Noriyuki Abe. Only the Japanese production companies and the original manga creators (Reiko Yoshida and Mia Ikumi) were credited. |

| 39 | [[folder:Film — Animated]] |
| 40 | * Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon: |
| 41 | ** Until 1984, there was a rule that animators had to draw at least 100 feet of film (roughly 68 seconds) in order to be credited. |
| 42 | ** None of the actors in ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'' were credited for their roles, largely to [[{{Kayfabe}} preserve the illusion of the characters being real]]. Creator/AdrianaCaselotti did, however, appear in a few promotional gigs shortly after the film's release, but Disney didn't begin crediting their voice talent until 1945's ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeCaballeros''. Until ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook'', with the exception of ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'', [[UnspecifiedRoleCredit only the voice actors were listed and not the roles they played]]. |
| 43 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'': The voices for the Queen, the Herald, and for Maleficent's goons weren't credited.[[note]]The reason why the herald’s voice is left uncredited is probably because his alleged actor and the reference model for King Stefan in the same film, Hans Conried, has been replaced by Taylor Holmes as the voice role for King Stefan in the same film.[[/note]] |
| 44 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook'' only listed the main characters and some of the supporting characters, other actors like Digby Wolfe (Ziggy), Hal Smith (Slob Elephant), Ralph Wright (Gloomy Elephant), Leo De Lyon (Flunkey), Bill Skiles and Pete Henderson (the Monkeys) went uncredited. |
| 45 | ** ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973'' only listed the actors playing the main character and key supporting characters; other actors like J. Pat O'Malley (Otto), Candy Candido (Captain of the Guard), John Fiedler (Sexton), Barbara Luddy (Mother Rabbit and Sexton's wife) and all the child actors went uncredited. |
| 46 | ** Creator/DonBluth quit Creator/{{Disney}} while working on ''WesternAnimation/TheFoxAndTheHound''. He was not credited for any of the scenes he animated. |
| 47 | ** Ron Clements conceived the story for the 1983 featurette ''[[WesternAnimation/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh Winnie the Pooh and a Day for Eeyore]]'', but he took his name off the film in protest of Disney outsourcing the animation. Said studio, Rick Reinhart Productions, also went uncredited from the final product. |
| 48 | * Creator/PaulyShore was uncredited as the voice of Bobby in ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie''. He was credited in the sequel, however. |
| 49 | * Creator/CharlieKaufman was an uncredited script doctor for ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda2''. |
| 50 | * Creator/DonBluth was so dissatisfied with how ''WesternAnimation/ThePebbleAndThePenguin'' turned out and the ExecutiveMeddling behind it that he renounced his director's credit for that movie. Unfortunately for him, the studio [[LoopholeAbuse still found a way to associate the film with him anyway]] by marketing the film as "from the director of ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime''", and it is still credited as "A Don Bluth Limited Production" in the main titles, so his name was still on it. |
| 51 | * Creator/SpikeJonze, who voiced Mr. Crystal's assistant in ''WesternAnimation/{{Sing 2}}'', was not credited for his role. |
| 52 | * Creator/EdAsner is not credited as 22's old man voice in ''WesternAnimation/{{Soul}}'', despite him having a leading role in [[WesternAnimation/{{Up}} another Pixar film]]. |
| 53 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'': Music/GrantKirkhope and George Andreas are not credited for composing the [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong64 DK Rap]], which is used in the film. Strange, as another piece of archival music used in the film, the Plumbers' Rap from ''Series/TheSuperMarioBrosSuperShow'', has composers Haim Saban and Shuky Levy credited. |
| 54 | * Animator Sam Singer requested to have his name removed from the credits of ''WesternAnimation/TubbyTheTuba1975''. |
| 55 | * Creator/YuriLowenthal is not credited as the voice of Ching Ling in ''[[Creator/VideoBrinquedo What's Up? Balloon to the Rescue]]''. |
| 56 | * Voice director Creator/AndreaRomano demanded that her name be removed from the credits of ''WesternAnimation/JetsonsTheMovie'' after Universal's decision to have pop star Tiffany record over Janet Waldo's lines as Judy. |
| 57 | * Creator/RikMayall wasn't credited as Cacofonix in ''WesternAnimation/AsterixConquersAmerica''. |
| 58 | * The various desert animals who sing [[Film/TheBluesBrothers the theme tune from]] ''{{Series/Rawhide}}'' in ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTailFievelGoesWest'' are all voiced by an uncredited Creator/DanAykroyd and Creator/JohnBelushi, respectively. |
| 59 | * In the UK version of ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', singer-songwriter Anne-Marie makes an uncredited cameo as Lauren, a classmate of Mei's. |

| 69 | * Creator/ElaineMay has worked uncredited on such movies as ''Film/{{Reds}}'', ''Film/{{Tootsie}}'', ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'', ''Film/WolfMikeNichols'', and ''Film/DangerousMinds''. |
| 70 | * Creator/NicholasMeyer: |
| 71 | ** Wrote the final screenplay uncredited for ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'', which he also directed. Taking elements from all the wildly different early drafts of the script, he wrote the final draft in just twelve days to meet a deadline by the special-effects company and prevent the film from falling into DevelopmentHell. Sole credit ended up going to Jack B Sowards, who had written most of the early drafts. |
| 72 | ** Uncredited script doctor for ''Film/FatalAttraction'' and ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies''. |
| 73 | * Creator/AlexanderPayne was an uncredited script doctor for ''Film/MeetTheParents'' and ''Film/JurassicPark3''. |

| 76 | * Josh Schwartz and Jamie Moss were the first two writers involved with ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', yet the WGA arbitration chose not to list them for story [[BasedOnAGreatBigLie while providing one such credit for Sheldon Turner]], whose script for an unproduced ''X-Men Origins: Magneto'' was never even touched by Bryan Singer and his cohorts. |
| 77 | * Creator/MNightShyamalan was an uncredited script doctor for ''Film/ShesAllThat''. Shyamalan's contributions are mentioned on the DVDCommentary for the film. |
| 78 | * Creator/KevinSmith: |
| 79 | ** He wrote most of the dialogue for his part in ''Film/LiveFreeOrDieHard''. According to him, he rewrote the scene when he auditioned for the part, and the studio hired him because it was cheaper than giving him a writer's credit. Smith was credited for his acting, but not for his script edits. |
| 80 | ** Uncredited script doctor for ''Film/CoyoteUgly'' and ''Film/OvernightDelivery''. |
| 81 | * Creator/AaronSorkin was an uncredited script doctor for several films, including ''Film/SchindlersList'', ''Film/TheRock'', ''Film/{{Bulworth}}'' and ''Film/EnemyOfTheState''. |
| 82 | * Creator/TomStoppard was an uncredited script doctor for ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'', ''Film/SleepyHollow1999'', ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' and ''Film/TheBourneUltimatum''. |

He was not credited as second director on ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'' despite having heavily altered the film with reshoots, only getting writer credits on it. |
| 86 | |
| 87 | !!!'''Producers:''' |
| 88 | * Creator/MelBrooks was an uncredited producer on Creator/DavidLynch's ''Film/TheElephantMan''. He feared audiences would assume it was a comedy because of his involvement, so he left his own name out of the credits and marketing. He attempted to do the same with ''The Fly,'' but word of his involvement leaked ahead of time. |
| 89 | * Creator/GeorgeLucas was executive producer on Creator/LawrenceKasdan's ''Film/BodyHeat'', mainly as a favor for Kasdan's help with the script for ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''. Lucas went uncredited because he didn't want his work on an erotic thriller film to affect his family-friendly reputation from the first two ''Star Wars'' films. |
| 90 | |
| 91 | !!!'''Actors:''' |
| 92 | * The kids who played the six main characters in the educational film ''Film/{{Apaches}}'' were not credited. |
| 93 | * One of Mr. Humphries' transgender friends in ''Film/AreYouBeingServed'' was an uncredited Creator/RikkiHoward, while an airport security guard was an uncredited Creator/BrianOsborne. |
| 94 | * The first ''Film/AustinPowers'' had a few, such as Tom Arnold as the cowboy in the "who does Number Two works for?" scene, Carrie Fisher as the father/son therapist, and three in deleted scenes restored for the international cut (Christian Slater as a guard who Austin hypnotizes, Lois Chiles as the wife of a steamrolled mook, and Rob Lowe as the friend of a decapitated mook). |
| 95 | * While Creator/AnthonyBourdain's appearance AsHimself in ''Film/TheBigShort'' is credited, the ones by Creator/MargotRobbie and Music/SelenaGomez aren't. |
| 96 | * ''Film/CarryOnSeries'': |
| 97 | ** ''Film/CarryOnNurse'': Creator/BernardBresslaw wasn't credited for playing Ted's feet (Creator/TerenceLongdon's feet didn't look right on camera). |
| 98 | ** ''Film/CarryOnTeacher'' had a young Creator/LarryDann and Creator/DianeLangton as two of the students. |
| 99 | ** ''Film/CarryOnConstable'': |
| 100 | *** Creator/AnthonySagar as one of the angry citizens swarming Constable Thurston with complaints in the opening scene. |

| 140 | ** ''Film/DoctorAtLarge'' had Creator/CyrilChamberlain as a police constable. |
| 141 | ** ''Film/DoctorInLove'' had Creator/PeterSallis as Mr. Luke, Creator/JimmyThompson and Creator/RosalindKnight as doctors, Creator/EsmaCannon as the raffia woman, Creator/JoanHickson as a nurse, Creator/MarianneStone as the Sister, Creator/NormanRossington and Creator/WarrenMitchell as the Haystack Club doorman and manager, and the return of Griffiths and Chamberlain (now as an ambulance man and a shower steward). |

| 146 | * Creator/MichaelCaine has a voice-only [[TheCameo cameo]] in ''Film/{{Dunkirk}}'', which is uncredited. |
| 147 | * Wrestling/JohnCena made a very brief uncredited [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMr6bgtOyL4 appearance]][[note]]At about 55 seconds in he's the guy to the left sitting down in the weight machine[[/note]] in the horrifically bad wrestling movie ''Film/ReadyToRumble''. Goldberg is in the same scene (credited, WCW was involved with the film's production); as of 2022 the two have never wrestled each other. |
| 148 | * Creator/SeanConnery plays Richard the Lionheart in the final scenes of ''Film/RobinHoodPrinceOfThieves''. It wouldn't normally be a big enough part to be worth mentioning, but it's ''Sean Connery''. He also donated his entire salary from the role -- $250,000 -- to charity. |
| 149 | * Creator/MacaulayCulkin appeared uncredited as Jacob's son Gabriel in ''Film/JacobsLadder''. |
| 150 | * In ''Confessions of a Dangerous Mind'', both Creator/BradPitt and Creator/MattDamon appear (uncredited) as two game show contestants. |
| 151 | * In ''Film/EscapeFromNewYork'', the voice of the narrator in the opening sequence is left uncredited. While it is commonly believed that Creator/JamieLeeCurtis performed uncredited voice work for the intro, [[https://screenrant.com/escape-new-york-la-jamie-lee-curtis-rumor/ this has never been definitively proven]], despite sites like IMDB stating as such. Other crew members (including Creator/JohnCarpenter himself, who officially denied the suggestion years earlier) state that the narrator is an uncredited "Kathleen Blanchard", [[https://www.facebook.com/theefnylapage/posts/escape-from-new-york-myth-debunked-againaccording-to-several-sources-even-to-thi/3584595701588906/ who is officially credited in the sequel]], ''Film/EscapeFromLA''. |
| 152 | * Peter Dobson had an uncredited cameo as Music/ElvisPresley in ''Film/ForrestGump''. |
| 153 | * ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'', Blofeld's debut as the BigBad of the ''Film/JamesBond'' movies, starts the tradition of [[TheFaceless keeping his face off-camera]], prompting the use of this trick to make sure ''nobody'' could be sure what he looked like. The ending credits acknowledge his existence by crediting one Ernst Blofeld with a question mark in place of the actor. (The body was Anthony Dawson and the voice was Eric Pohlmann.) |
| 154 | * ''Film/Ghostbusters1984'' credited Slavitza Jozan as Gozer, but not Paddi Edwards for the voice. ''Film/GhostbustersAfterlife'' ironically reversed this, crediting Gozer's voice (Creator/ShohrehAghdashloo) and the one doing motion capture for its spirit form (Emma Portner), but not the actual portrayer, Creator/OliviaWilde. ''Film/GhostbustersII'' also didn't credit the one voicing the voice of the villain, namely Creator/MaxVonSydow as Vigo. |
| 155 | * Creator/TiffanyGrant was an uncredited graduate student in ''Film/ArlingtonRoad''. |
| 156 | * Peter Greene is not credited as Redfoot in ''Film/TheUsualSuspects'', [[spoiler:which is appropriate as the ending suggests Redfoot never really existed outside Verbal's imagination]]. |
| 157 | * ''Film/Hellboy2004'': The [[ExecutiveMeddling studio]] wanted more "big name" stars to promote the movie and ordered Guillermo Del Toro to have Creator/DavidHydePierce overdub Creator/DougJones' performance as Abe Sapien. This backfired on the studio as Pierce refused to be credited out of respect for Jones' work on the physical performance. |
| 158 | * ''Film/{{Hook}}'': The kissing couple that was briefly lifted into the air by Tinkerbell's pixie dust were Creator/GeorgeLucas and Creator/CarrieFisher. Fisher also served as an uncredited script doctor. |
| 159 | * Creator/PeterJackson, Creator/SteveCoogan and Creator/CateBlanchett all have uncredited cameos in ''Film/HotFuzz''. |
| 160 | * The child actor who played Chucky from ''Film/JaneAustensMafia!'' was not credited despite playing a fairly important part. |
| 161 | * Creator/AshtonKutcher is not credited for his role as Hank in ''Film/CheaperByTheDozen2003'', whereas Charlie's bully is played by a then-unknown Creator/JaredPadalecki, who was also uncredited along with Creator/WayneKnight's cameo as an electrician and Amy Hill as Nigel and Kyle's kindergarten teacher. |
| 162 | * Creator/RobLowe in ''Film/TommyBoy''. He turned down being billed as he didn't want to have to pay Screen Actors Guild fees for being in the film. |
| 163 | * Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse: |
| 164 | ** Creator/JeremyRenner's first appearance as Clint Barton/Hawkeye, a bit part in ''Film/{{Thor}}'', was uncredited. |
| 165 | ** Creator/JoshBrolin was not credited for his brief appearances as Thanos in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'' or ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''. |
| 166 | ** Creator/TrevorNoah plays the A.I. on a jet in ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}''. |
| 167 | ** Creator/MattDamon has an uncredited part in ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' as [[spoiler:an Asgardian actor playing Loki in a play]]. |
| 168 | * The actress who played Kelsey the first foster mother's sister in ''Film/{{Mikey}}'' was not credited. |
| 169 | * Creator/JulianneMoore is uncredited as the voice of the computer in ''Film/EagleEye''. |
| 170 | * Creator/EdwardNorton was uncredited for his role as the masked King Baldwin in the original theatrical release of ''Film/KingdomOfHeaven'', as he felt that it would maintain the character's mystery if audiences didn't know who was behind the mask. This was downgraded to NotNamedInOpeningCredits in the film and DVD releases, which added Norton's name into the closing credits. |
| 171 | * ''Film/OnTheBuses'' has Creator/LindaRegan as the pretty girl on the bus in the opening credits. |
| 172 | * Creator/GaryOldman wanted star billing alongside the two leads of ''Film/{{Hannibal}}'', did not get it, and in protest asked for his name to be taken out. It was restored in home video, however. |
| 173 | * Creator/LoisChiles (as Diane's mother) and Creator/JoanCusack (as Lloyd's sister) appear uncredited in ''Film/SayAnything''. [[note]]The latter is also a case of RealLifeRelative, as Cusack's brother Creator/JohnCusack plays Lloyd.[[/note]] |
| 174 | * Creator/LievSchreiber appears in ''Film/ClearHistory'' as Tibor, a major character who helps Rolly get his revenge on Will Haney, but as Schreiber was under contract for ''Series/RayDonovan'' on a rival network at the time, he is uncredited in the film. |
| 175 | * Creator/TomSizemore plays one of the villains in ''Film/EnemyOfTheState'', but his name doesn't appear in the credits. Also appearing uncredited in the movie were Creator/SethGreen (as an NSA technician), Creator/PhilipBakerHall (as Robert Dean's boss), and Creator/JasonRobards (as the Congressman whose murder kicks off the plot). |
| 176 | * In ''Film/SleepawayCamp'', the man who stood in for [[spoiler:Felissa Rose]] during the infamous twist ending has remained anonymous. [[spoiler:Understandably, Rose's mother protested the filmmaker's original plan of making her daughter wear a strap-on penis, so instead they made a mask of Rose's face and paid the man a few hundred dollars to stand naked on the beach on a freezing night wearing it. The poor guy apparently had to be shitfaced to do the scene and also cried before filming.]] |
| 177 | * When ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020'' was released in theaters, [[spoiler:Creator/ColleenOShaughnessey reprised her role as Tails from the video games, but she was originally uncredited]]. This was corrected on later releases. |
| 178 | * ''Film/{{Spotlight}}'' doesn't credit Creator/RichardJenkins as Richard Sipe, whose voice is only heard through the phone. |
| 179 | * Judson Scott went uncredited for his role as Khan's [[TheDragon second-in-command]] Joachim in ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan''. It was not by the actor's choice, though -- it was a negotiation ploy on the part of his agent that backfired. |
| 180 | * ''Franchise/StarWars'': |
| 181 | ** It wasn't until the digital reissue of the Original Trilogy that Creator/JamesEarlJones would be credited for his role as the voice of Darth Vader in ''Film/ANewHope'' or ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' [[note]]He was credited in the original credits of ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''[[/note]]. He also wasn't credited in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith''. |
| 182 | ** Although Creator/CliveRevill was credited as the voice of the Emperor in the pre-Special Edition ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'', his face actress Marjorie Eaton was not. Until 2016, it was widely believed that Elaine Baker played the Emperor, when she was actually only used for makeup tests. |
| 183 | ** ''Film/TheForceAwakens'': Creator/DanielCraig plays the stormtrooper who is [[spoiler:mind-controlled by Rey]]. |
| 184 | ** ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'': [[spoiler:Creator/HarrisonFord (Han)]] makes a return appearance but goes uncredited. |
| 185 | * Creator/JasonStatham has a brief uncredited cameo in ''Film/{{Collateral}}''. |
| 186 | * ''Franchise/SuperSentai'': Akio Ito, the actress of [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Ranru Itsuki]], chose to remain uncredited for her RoleReprise in the ''Film/ZyudenSentaiKyoryugerVsGobusters'' movie as she had retired from acting a few years prior. The fact was only made known in 2023, 10 years after the film's release. |
| 187 | * ''Film/UpPompeii'' didn't credit Creator/CarolHawkins as UsefulNotes/{{Nero}}'s girl or Creator/DavidProwse as Erotica's steam bath lover. |
| 188 | * Creator/KathleenTurner was uncredited as the speaking voice of Jessica Rabbit in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. |
| 189 | * The actor who did the voiceover for minor character Rihei in ''Film/VendettaForASamurai'' is not credited. |
| 190 | * Creator/JTWalsh appears uncredited as a state trooper in ''Film/{{Misery}}'', and as a memorable OneSceneWonder as the White House Chief of Staff in ''Film/{{Outbreak}}''. |
| 191 | * Creator/DavidWarner has a significant role in ''Film/{{Straw Dogs|1971}}'', for which he receives no credit. Warner has said in interviews that his agent had tried to get him a star billing, prompting Warner to state that he wanted to work with Creator/SamPeckinpah again enough that he would take the role even if he got no billing at all -- and the idea amused Peckinpah, who decided to take him at his word. |
| 192 | * Creator/BruceWillis in ''Film/FourRooms''. Willis did the film for free as a favor to Creator/QuentinTarantino and preferred that his appearance be a surprise (and that so he wouldn't have to pay the Screen Actors Guild money for doing a free gig). |
| 193 | * Creator/OwenWilson is uncredited in the first ''Film/NightAtTheMuseum'' film, despite Jedediah being as big a role as Octavius. |
| 194 | * Creator/BenSchwartz did [[Characters/TransformersFilmSeriesAutobots Bumblebee]]'s radio voice in ''Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQwL2b4UEGU&t=8349s The man himself confirms the story]] on ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'' in May 2023, nearly nine years after the movie's release. |
| 195 | * The actor Sergey Bezrukov portrayed Music/VladimirVysotsky in the biopic ''Vysotsky: Thank You for Being Alive'' under heavy makeup while having his voice dubbed by Vysotsky's son Nikita, and his involvement with the film was kept a secret until he confessed to playing the role some time later. A TV version of the movie released two years later finally credited him, but before then, Vysotsky was listed as [[AsHimself playing himself.]] The reason for all this secrecy was apparently because the producers wanted audiences to be able to pretend like they were seeing the real Vysotsky up on screen. |
| 196 | |
| 197 | !!!'''Miscellaneous:''' |
| 198 | * A common practice is to leave out any of the actors doing [[LoopingLines ADR work]], should they not list them in one large block of names. |
| 199 | * An accidental case happened with ''Film/DrNo'', where art director Syd Cain discovered his name wasn't in the credits, but it remained that way because the producers didn't want to spend more of [[NoBudget the meager budget]] fixing them. |
| 200 | * ''The Nan Movie'', a film based on ''Series/TheCatherineTateShow'', is best known for its convoluted production issues that led to the final film not having a credited director. The original director was Josie Rourke (''[[Film/MaryQueenOfScots2018 Mary, Queen of Scots]]''), who filmed a PeriodPiece about Nan's young adulthood in the 1940's that was much more dramatic than the source material would suggest. The producers got cold feet at this version, and handed the film to Creator/CatherineTate herself who directed a substantial {{Retool}} of the film into being about a present-day RoadTripPlot, only reusing a relatively small amount of footage from Rourke's cut. Neither woman is credited as the director; Josie Rourke is listed as a mere "Executive Producer", while Catherine Tate gets an "A Catherine Tate Film" caption in the opening credits. |

| 203 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 204 | * ''Series/TheBasilBrushShow'': The puppeteer performing the titular character was uncredited in both versions of the show. It was later revealed that Ivan Owens was Basil's first performer but the identity of his second performer is still unknown. |
| 205 | * Creator/PerryBenson [[YouLookFamiliar played three separate characters]] in ''Series/TheBlackAdder''. However, his first role (an Italian priest in "[[Recap/BlackadderS1E3TheArchbishop The Archbishop]]") didn't have him credited. |
| 206 | * The ''Series/{{Community}}'' episode "Investigative Journalism" has an uncredited performance by Creator/OwenWilson as the leader of another study group who recruits Buddy at the end. |
| 207 | * ''Series/DoctorInTheHouse'' had an uncredited Creator/LindaRegan as a schoolgirl in the ''Doctor at Large'' episode, "Doctor Dish", and a girl at the dance in the ''Doctor in Charge'' episode, "The Taming of the Wolf". |
| 208 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'': |
| 209 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS25E1RemembranceOfTheDaleks "Remembrance of the Daleks"]]: Iconic K-9 voice actor Creator/JohnLeeson played an uncredited part as the voice of the Renegade Daleks' battle computer, before the character's [[CreepyChild true identity]] was revealed. |
| 210 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E10VincentAndTheDoctor "Vincent and the Doctor"]]: Creator/BillNighy as art expert Dr. Black; Nighy agreed to take the role on condition that he was not credited and no publicity photos were taken of him. |
| 211 | * In a 1968 episode of ''Series/{{Dragnet}}'', the LAPD held a community outreach to encourage black men to join the police force. One of the attendees was Creator/OJSimpson. Not only was this years before he became an actor; he had not yet even won the Heisman Trophy. (It is likely that he and the other attendees had responded to an open casting call for black men.) |
| 212 | * ''Series/EastEnders'': At one point circa 1988, when ''Series/AlloAllo'' was being filmed on the next set over, Creator/JohnDCollins, Creator/KimHartman, and Richard Gibson all snuck onto the Queen Vic set and tried to pass themselves off as extras. Hartman got them caught when she asked for her extra's motivation, however, all three of them managed to stick around and remained in the final episode, leading to him being pointed out in ''[[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers The Sun]]'' for their sneaky cameo. When Julia Smith heard what had happened she was furious and rang up ''[='Allo 'Allo!=]'''s producer, David Croft, demanding that the three were to be sacked and to never work for Creator/TheBBC again. Croft refused and told Smith instead that any of her cast were free to play extras in his series if they so wished. |
| 213 | * ''Series/Gladiators2024'': The Gladiators' personas are listed in the opening credits, but the performers behind them are never named. The Gladiators are entirely absent from the closing credits. so the performers aren't named there either. |
| 214 | * ''Series/TheInvisibleMan1958'' has ''the title character'' uncredited, despite being TheHero, so no one would know what Dr. Peter Brady actually looked like. |
| 215 | * The actor playing Kenneth in the ''Series/ItsAwfullyBadForYourEyesDarling'' episode, "A New Lease", goes uncredited, possibly because Kenneth spends the whole episode passed out drunk. |
| 216 | * ''[[Series/{{Khan}} Khan!]]'' was a {{short runner|s}} detective series running on Creator/{{CBS}} in 1975. Khigh Diegh (''Film/TheManchurianCandidate'') starred as the title character, but refused onscreen credit. |
| 217 | * ''Series/{{LOST}}'': Starting with the second season, Creator/FrancoisChau made multiple guest appearances, even becoming a recurring character in the fifth season, but went uncredited until the GrandFinale. |
| 218 | * ''Series/ObiWanKenobi'': [[spoiler:Creator/LiamNeeson]] made an uncredited appearance at the end of Part VI as [[spoiler:Qui-Gon Jinn's Force ghost]]. |
| 219 | * ''Series/OnTheBuses'' didn't credit Creator/LindaRegan for playing Edna in "Christmas Duty". |
| 220 | * Creator/AngusDeayton was credited for playing Patrick, a regular in ''Series/OneFootInTheGrave'', but wasn't credited for his voiceover role as the TV presenter in "Monday Morning Will Be Fine". |
| 221 | * ''Series/PersonOfInterest'': |
| 222 | ** In "Root Cause", Root is played by an uncredited Creator/RachelMiner. |
| 223 | ** Actors NotNamedInOpeningCredits generally go completely uncredited. Examples include Creator/EnricoColantoni and Creator/DavidValcin in "Risk", Creator/AmyAcker in "Booked Solid", and Creator/SarahShahi and Creator/JohnNolan in "MIA". |
| 224 | * In ''Series/{{Phenom}}'' Creator/WilliamDevane wanted first or at worst second billing credit but the producers didn't want to distract audiences from Juidth Light (this being her first show after ''Series/WhosTheBoss''), so he said he'd rather not be credited at all rather than being credited only at the end. |
| 225 | * Creator/FelixBowness wasn't credited for playing Gay Gordon in the ''Series/{{Porridge}}'' episode, "Just Desserts". |
| 226 | * ''Franchise/PowerRangers'': For the first few seasons, the end credits were rarely changed mid-season. This led to actors being credited in episodes they didn't appear in (sometimes many episodes before their characters even debuted), but it also meant that the vast majority of guest actors went totally uncredited, and to this day, we don't know the identities of dozens of actors who played one-off parts in 90s episodes. This still applies with the stunt actors and especially the suit performers, who have never been credited outright, though their identities are usually known. |
| 227 | * ''Series/TheReallyLoudHouse'': |
| 228 | ** While Lily is played by two actors, only August Michael Peterson is credited while her stand-in Emily Ford is not. Ford is credited in the film ''Film/AReallyHauntedLoudHouse'', but even then, she's simply listed in a block of credits for stand-ins. |
| 229 | ** 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". |
| 230 | ** Among the known actors who had uncredited roles in the series include Aaron Rogers as Chief Wellington (as a stand-in for Keeshan Giles) and Mr. Uggo, Charles Ash as one of Milkshake Marty's goons, J Diego Gonçalves as the mailman from "The Blemish Dilemish", Jaxon Presley Karim as a boy wearing a shirt too small for him, and Samantha Christine as one of Taylor Wedge's cronies. |
| 231 | * The NonSingingVoice roles in both works of Rick Siggelkow's that utilize them (''Series/TheNoddyShop'' and the American dub of ''Series/{{Tweenies}}'') aren't credited at all. [[note]]The Noddy Shop does credit Susan Sheridan and Jimmy Hibbert, the original British voices from the [[WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures original stop-motion series]]; however, both their voices were dubbed over by uncredited actors.[[/note]] |
| 232 | * ''Series/{{Sykes}}'': Creator/FelixBowness went uncredited as a Glasgow porter in "Journey", a bus depot worker in "Bus", and a club compère in "The Hypnotist", while the same happened to Creator/MaureenLipman as a wardrobe mistress in "Fancy Dress". |
| 233 | * ''Series/TheWestWing'': Creator/JohnGoodman appears in four episodes but was only credited for his final appearance in "The Stormy Present". |
| 234 | * Creator/PaulineQuirke wasn't credited for playing Nelly in the ''Series/YesMinister'' episode, "The Economy Drive". |
| 235 | * ''Series/TheYoungOnes'': Creator/ChrisAndrews wasn't credited for playing the ghost body in "Cash". |
| 236 | [[/folder]] |
| 237 | |
| 238 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 239 | * ''Radio/AmericanTop40'' and its successor ''[[Creator/CaseyKasem Casey's]] Top 40'' almost never credited the people behind the music and {{jingle}}s made for the shows themselves (as was normal on radio countdown shows) until the last two years of the latter's run, when longtime contributors [[http://www.jingles.com/ JAM Creative Productions]] would get a shoutout in the credits. They went back to simply not mentioning the team behind them when [=AT40=] was revived in 1998. |
| 240 | * Music/{{Avicii}} songs never credit the featured vocalist. |
| 241 | * After Music/JohnBarry's score for ''First Love'' was almost completely dropped from the movie, he took his name off the credits. [[http://lalalandrecords.com/Site/FirstLove.html La-La Land Records released it on CD in 2013.]] |
| 242 | * Music/GarthBrooks: |
| 243 | ** Music/TrishaYearwood's "Like We Never Had a Broken Heart" credited the backing vocals provided by Brooks (this was before they were married), but only on the Canadian charts. |
| 244 | ** Brooks was also uncredited for singing the second verse of Chris [=LeDoux=]'s "Whatcha Gonna Do with a Cowboy". |
| 245 | * Roger [=McGuinn=] and Chris Hillman of Music/TheByrds re-recorded "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" in 1989 with backing from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, although the single release credited only [=McGuinn=] and Hillman. |
| 246 | * Music/TracyByrd's 2003 hit "The Truth About Men" does not credit the guest vocals from Music/BlakeShelton, Music/MontgomeryGentry, and Andy Griggs. |
| 247 | * Subverted with "Shiftwork" by Music/KennyChesney and Music/GeorgeStrait. Strait was originally not credited for his solo singing on the second verse, but this changed halfway through the song's chart run when the two artists' labels were able to strike a deal. |
| 248 | * Music/EricClapton played an uncredited guitar solo on Music/TheBeatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". To return the favour, Music/GeorgeHarrison made an uncredited guest appearance on Music/{{Cream}}'s song "Badge". |
| 249 | * Numerous artists have ghostwritten lyrics for Music/DrDre, including Music/SnoopDogg, Music/{{Eminem}} and Music/KendrickLamar. |
| 250 | * Janie Fricke sang the entire second verse of "Thinkin' of a Rendezvous" by Johnny Duncan, but was not credited for it. |
| 251 | * The Ghost Town [=DJs=], the OneBookAuthor known for the hit "My Boo", officially consisted of session musicians Virgo, Greg Street, Rodney Terry, and DJ Demp. However, by all accounts the song's creative and production expertise came from non other than Music/LilJon, who couldn't be credited as part of the group because he was also So So Def's A&R Director at the time, which relegated him to an Executive Producer credit. |
| 252 | * Music/{{hinayukki}} has produced several songs that only credits one Music/{{Vocaloid}} voicebank, even when there's another voicebank singing the harmony. For example, "Chiri Yuku Mono" and "Floriography" only credits Meiko as the singer, even though there's clearly another voice accompanying her in the chorus; likewise, Kaito's "Kamikaze Matsuri" and "Tabi no hate" both feature some obvious female accompaniment, but doesn't list any other voicebanks. |
| 253 | * Music/MickJagger sang uncredited backing vocals on Music/CarlySimon's SignatureSong "You're So Vain". The song was rumoured to be about Jagger himself (although [[WordOfGod Simon herself]] denied this). |
| 254 | * Music/{{Kesha}}'s first appearance on a Billboard Top 40 pop hit was singing backing vocals on the chorus of "Right Round" by Music/FloRida, which she was initially uncredited for. This was probably done for the same reasons she opted not to be in the video -- she wanted to be known for her own music, not a guest appearance on a song by someone else. |
| 255 | * Most pre-2009 Music/KidzBop albums [[https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10615002934200500 didn't credit the vocalists.]] |
| 256 | * Many [[TheMockbuster soundalike covers]] from labels like Madacy Entertainment, Drew's Famous Entertainment or Pickwick Records will often list the musicians by a collective name, but very rarely who the members actually are, if they bother to do it at all. |
| 257 | * Music/RebaMcEntire: |
| 258 | ** "Every Other Weekend" was recorded as a duet with Music/KennyChesney, but the official single edit [[FakeShemp replaced him]] with co-writer Skip Ewing due to a label disagreement. Despite this, nearly all stations played the Chesney version anyway, and the song was credited ''only'' to Reba on the charts. |
| 259 | ** Her 1995 cover of "On My Own" was a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover featuring Music/MartinaMcBride, Music/TrishaYearwood, ''and'' Linda Davis, but only [=McEntire=] received credit. |
| 260 | * Music/{{Nas}} was a ghostwriter for several artists, including Creator/WillSmith. |
| 261 | * As the Music/NineInchNails short film ''Broken'' lacks credits, most of the cast (aside from the band in "Wish", and frontman Trent Reznor and S&M performance artist Bob Flanagan in "Happiness in Slavery") are completely unknown; this includes the killer and the victim in the wraparound segments. |
| 262 | * Music/FrankOcean's "Pink + White" has Music/{{Beyonce}} singing backup vocals uncredited. |
| 263 | * K.T. Oslin sang the last verse of Music/{{Alabama}}'s "Face to Face", but received no credit for it whatsoever. |
| 264 | * Lee Roy Parnell's 1994 cover of "[[Music/HankWilliams Take These Chains from My Heart]]" did not credit the duet vocals from [[Music/BrooksAndDunn Ronnie Dunn]], who sang the second and third verses. |
| 265 | * Music/RunDMC contributed ghostwritten lyrics to Music/BeastieBoys' debut album ''Music/LicensedToIll''. |
| 266 | * Caitlyn Smith sang backing vocals on Music/KennyChesney's "All the Pretty Girls", but not even the liner notes credit her for this. |
| 267 | * Sons of the Desert sang a {{call and response|song}} on Music/TyHerndon's 1998 hit "It Must Be Love", but were not credited for it; making this all the more egregious is that they ''were'' credited for their backing vocals on Music/LeeAnnWomack's "I Hope You Dance" only two years later. This may be due to Sons of the Desert being in the middle of a dispute with Creator/EpicRecords during the release of "It Must Be Love" (Herndon was also on Epic at the time), whereas by the release of "I Hope You Dance", both they and Lee Ann were on MCA Records. |
| 268 | * Bluegrass musician Ralph Stanley was not credited for singing the second verse of "Me and God" by Josh Turner. Also uncredited on this song are the background vocals from Marty Roe, Gene Johnson, and Dana Williams of Music/DiamondRio. Zig-zagged in that a Turner-only version of the song also exists. |
| 269 | * Music/ColeSwindell's 2017 hit "Flatliner" does not credit Music/DierksBentley, who sings the second verse and has banter with Cole before the last chorus. |
| 270 | * Music/{{UNKLE}}'s 1998 song "Chaos" was co-written by [[Music/TalkTalk Mark Hollis]], who also played piano on the track. Hollis was left uncredited at his own request. The piano part was one of the few commercial music performances he did following his retirement from the music industry, and one of the last ones prior to his death in 2019. |
| 271 | * Music/JackWhite performed uncredited backing vocals on Music/ElectricSix's song "Danger! High Voltage!". Just to mess with people, the band would maintain in interviews that it was a contest-winning fan who just happened to sound a lot like Jack White. |
| 272 | * Music/JoshTurner's first recording of "Me and God" features Music/RalphStanley, but the latter's contribution is not mentioned on the album. |
| 273 | [[/folder]] |
| 274 | |
| 275 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 276 | * Most {{gacha games}} with many artists involved will list whoever drew the playable characters' illustrations and who voiced them (usually in the character's profile menu), but it's very common for artists and voice actors behind [[NonPlayerCharacter side-characters and enemies]] being left uncredited. A lot of gacha games don't have a ClosingCredits sequence, and even when they have one, these will [[UnspecifiedRoleCredit list the artists/voice actors but not which characters they were involved with]]. |
| 277 | * Due an incident involving perceived censorship, ''VideoGame/AkibasBeat'' doesn't credit one of the localizers, who requested his name be removed from it. [[AllForNothing The supposed censorship issue was merely miscommunication and ignorance of the subject at hand from the Japanese side of things]]. |
| 278 | * ''VideoGame/ANNOMutationem'': With the exception of Creator/SuzieYeung and Creator/LizzieFreeman (who voice Ann Flores and Ayane Misuno respectively), none of the other voice actors are credited in the CreditsRoll. |
| 279 | * ''VideoGame/{{Arcaea}}'' normally has some sort of chart designer credit for each combination of song and difficulty. Sometimes the chart credit is something specific to the song without giving any sort of hint to the charter's identity. However the charts for "Solitary Dream" do not have any sort of credit whatsoever. |
| 280 | * Creator/{{Atari}} initially did not provide their programmers and designers, for fear of their being lured away by competitors. The game ''VideoGame/{{Adventure}}'' contains a hidden room which features a secret message crediting the game's developer, Warren Robinett. This was one of the first EasterEggs. This reason is also why Creator/{{Activision}} was formed- so they could credit the developers of their games. |
| 281 | * Neither the English nor the Japanese version of ''VideoGame/BeastWarsTransformers'' credited the characters' voice actors, [[TheOtherDarrin who weren't even the same voice actors]] in the ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' cartoon. |
| 282 | * ''VideoGame/{{BEMANI}}'': |
| 283 | ** In late 2017, multiple original songs for the ''VideoGame/{{BEMANI}}'' series starting being credited to "BEMANI Sound Team" rather than the actual contributing artist. At least [[https://remywiki.com/GERBERA "GERBERA"]] ''had'' its actual artist, TAG, initially credited before being replaced with the BST credit, but the arranger for [[https://remywiki.com/Dance_to_Blue_(Respect_Style) "Dance to Blue"]] and the composer for [[https://remywiki.com/Mychronicle "Mychronicle"]] weren't as lucky. A compromise would be later reached, with the affected songs now showing "BEMANI Sound Team "''(artist)''"" as the credit. |
| 284 | ** In early 2018, visual artists for the series started to undergo the same treatment, with ''VideoGame/{{beatmania}} IIDX'' videos and overlays in particular simply crediting "BEMANI Designers". A similar compromise would eventually be reached in early 2019: "BEMANI Designers "''(visual artist)''"" |
| 285 | * ''VideoGame/ClayFighter'': It is unknown until today who made the voices for characters of the first two games. Even though the voice actor lists appear in [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3681484/?ref_=tt_rec_tt both]] [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3685538/?ref_=tt_trv_cnn games]] in Website/IMDb, who-made-who is a mystery until now. |
| 286 | * ''VisualNovel/CookingCompanions'': Bread's voice actor is unknown, only listed as "Deer Dream Studios Staff". |
| 287 | * ''VideoGame/DanceCentral'': For some reason, the voice actor for Glitch has never been named in any of the game credits or on any website cast lists. |
| 288 | * Hideaki Itsuno was the sole credited director for ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry2'', but he wasn't the director for a good chunk of its development, only being brought in for the final six months of development to try and salvage the project. The original director remains unknown, but the game's poor reception played a part in Itsuno deciding to direct ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry3DantesAwakening'' from beginning to end. |
| 289 | * None of the English voice actors of ''VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness'' were credited for their voice work in the game itself. |
| 290 | * ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'': |
| 291 | ** Voices who are uncredited for legal reasons (ex. Creator/LauraBailey as the base version of Lucina and Creator/AntonyDelRio as Silas) are "credited" as "--". |
| 292 | ** [[spoiler:Creator/TaraPlatt and Creator/AiKakuma]] as the Flame Emperor and [[spoiler:Creator/PatrickSeitz and Creator/AtsushiImaruoka]] as the Death Knight are uncredited for plot reasons (their {{secret identit|y}}ies constitute major {{plot twist}}s in [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses their game of origin]]), and are credited as "???". |
| 293 | * ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': La Signora's English voice actress requested that she not be credited in the game, while the voices of several other {{Mooks}} and [=NPCs=] in the game remain unknown with the exception of Christian Banas, who would eventually voice Thoma. |
| 294 | * While Yoshihisa Kurosawa designed and did the audiovisual assets for ''VideoGame/HongKong97'', the actual programming was done by someone who remains unknown. All that's known of this programmer is that his day job at the time was working for Creator/{{Enix}}, which is actually why Kurosawa agreed not to identify or credit him. |
| 295 | * Many soundtracks for Creator/{{Konami}} games simply credit "Konami Kukeiha Club" instead of specfic composers or arrangers. |
| 296 | * The characters of ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' have no official listing of voice actors, with many English voice actors not publicly disclosing their involvement and fansites such as Wikia/Fandom and [[Characters/LeagueOfLegends This Very Wiki]] being mostly informed guesswork. The most common explanations for this range from union voice actors not wanting to disclose their involvement in a non-union game (itself due in part to being a live-service game that can hire actors to re-record lines) to stigma surrounding video game voice acting. This has led to speculations such as Zac being voiced by Creator/PatrickWarburton, which was confirmed to not be the case [[https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/2r22su/40_of_leagues_champions_remain_without_listed/cnc0nlk/ by a Rioter]] who was present at the recording. |
| 297 | * ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' replaced Wreav's original voice actor, Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}} with an uncredited voice, revealed years later via WordOfGod as Creator/RogerLJackson. |
| 298 | * Creator/CamClarke (Liquid Snake) and Creator/JohnCygan (Solidus Snake) are not credited in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'' 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. |
| 299 | * In ''VideoGame/NierAutomata'', the English voice of Commander White was uncredited on release. She turned out to be voiced by Creator/ColleenOShaughnessey. |
| 300 | * The original English dubs of ''VideoGame/Persona3'' and ''VideoGame/Persona4'' were entirely uncredited. Naoto's voice actor from ''4'' was unknown for a decade before Creator/AnnaGraves confirmed it was her in 2018, and as of this writing the English voice actors for Ken, Fuuka and Chidori from ''3'' remain unknown (all of these characters except Chidori were [[TheOtherDarrin Darrined]] in spinoffs, some of which did feature voice credits, and the characters from ''3'' would be recast again for ''VideoGame/Persona3Reload''). |
| 301 | * While the original ''VideoGame/{{Resident Evil|1}}'' features a cast list at the closing credits, it only credits the actors who appear in the live-action segments (each credited by one name only), leading to the mistaken belief that the live-action actors also voiced the in-game characters. In reality, not only were in-game voice actors different, but the voice actors actually dubbed over the live-action actors' performances. The voices for Chris Redfield (the late Scott [=McCullough=], who passed away in 2000), Barry Burton (Barry Gjerde), Albert Wesker (Pablo Kuntz) and Rebecca Chambers (Lynn Harris, who also served as the voice acting director) has since been identified. |
| 302 | * For reasons unknown, the voice actors for the [[PlayerCharacter Playa]] in ''VideoGame/SaintsRow1'' were uncredited. The Caucasian and Asian voice was done by Creator/AndrewKishino (who also voices [[ButtMonkey Donnie]]), while the African-American voice was by Creator/KennMichael (the man behind Male Voice 2 in ''VideoGame/SaintsRow2'' and onward). The Hispanic voice, however, is harder to pinpoint. |
| 303 | * ''VideoGame/SEVENsCODE'' does not credit the arrangers for the [[PublicDomainSoundtrack classical music remixes]], only the original composers. |
| 304 | * Music/MichaelJackson contributed to the soundtrack of ''[[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles Sonic the Hedgehog 3]]'', but was dissatisfied with the sound capabilities of the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis and dropped out of the project. Then Jackson's child molestation accusations came to light, so Creator/{{Sega}} dropped his name from the credits to distance themselves from the controversy. What remnants of his contributions in the final product are disputed, however, it is thought that he at the very least, composed the miniboss theme, the melody for Carnival Night Zone and the end credits theme. |
| 305 | * Certain union voice actors in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' cast are uncredited due to the game being a non-union dub. Examples include Creator/LauraBailey as Lucina (who was also uncredited in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening''), Creator/AntonyDelRio as Pit, and Creator/HyndenWalch as Viridi (both from ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising''). Other union actors were [[TheOtherDarrin voice-matched]], including Viridi in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', likely for similar reasons. |
| 306 | * Most anything developed by Creator/{{TOSE}}, who prefers to remain anonymous. |
| 307 | * ''VideoGame/TwistedWonderland'' voice actors are not credited in-game, but are credited in official literature. |
| 308 | * Justin Villiers, Will Byles and Pete Samuels developed the story for ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'', but were not credited. |
| 309 | * VisualNovel/ZeroEscape: |
| 310 | ** ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward'''s dub was completely uncredited, and while most of the characters' voice actors would become known via outside sources, G-OLM's remained completely unknown for a long time, and even the people who worked on the voice acting had no idea who voiced him; it was only later revealed that he was voiced by Creator/DaveBMitchell (Tenmyouji's VA). |
| 311 | ** ''VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma'' only included partial voice acting credits, with only six of the nine main characters' and Zero's voice actors being listed in the credits and the game's manual; Carlos, Junpei and Diana's voice actors were not credited, and while the latter two were later identified Carlos's voice actor has not been confirmed (voice matching suggests it's Creator/AndrewBowen, but this is not certain). |
| 312 | ** [[UpdatedRerelease The Nonary Games version]] of ''VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors'' mostly averts this, with most of the characters' voices being listed in the credits, but Snake's was only credited as "Morphogenetic Field Voice". |
| 313 | * Not crediting the dev teams was also a standard practice at Creator/WilliamsElectronics for fear of them being poached by competitors. The staffs were instead (mostly) credited on the high score screens as an Easter Egg. Several staff members were not identified until the 1990s. |
| 314 | [[/folder]] |
| 315 | |
| 316 | [[folder:Web Videos]] |
| 317 | * ''WebVideo/WormwoodInstitute'': To keep up the illusion that these were archived video tapes, none of the actors playing the students are credited. |

| 321 | !!!'''In General:''' |
| 322 | * Due to union rules at the time, this happened a lot when it came to overseas animators during the 1980s. Some shows, usually those by Creator/SunbowEntertainment and Creator/RubySpears, don't even credit any overseas studios. |
| 323 | |
| 324 | !!!'''Actors:''' |
| 325 | * Creator/PaulLynde wasn't listed as a voice actor for his roles on ''WesternAnimation/ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop'' (as The Hooded Claw) and ''WesternAnimation/TheCattanoogaCats'' (as Mildew Wolf in the ''It's The Wolf!'' segment). |
| 326 | |
| 327 | !!!'''Studios:''' |
| 328 | * Creator/DiCEntertainment: ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'' was particularly odd about this, with the first three seasons lacking specific episode credits utilizing only one generic staff listing throughout[[labelnote:*]]Creator/AjiaDo and Studio Look are confirmed to have helped out on one episode apiece, "Knock Knock" and "Slimer, Is That You?" respectively, due to some [[CreatorInJoke animator Easter eggs]] within those episodes, with Creator/HanhoHeungUp confirming their involvement on the show after the fact[[/labelnote]]. While the later seasons and the ''Slimer!'' spinoff actually list the studios used. Similar cases also happened in [=DiC=]'s other shows from that era, most notably ''WesternAnimation/KiddVideo'' (Season 1 crediting [[Creator/WangFilmProductions Cuckoo's Nest Studio]], while Season 2 only listed the studios used for animation shooting -- Studio Wood, Creator/TakahashiProduction and Wako Production), ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'' (Seasons 1 and 2 having their own dedicated staff rolls, but no episode specific credits, and no credit at all for [[Creator/ToeiAnimation Toei]] during Season 1) and ''WesternAnimation/{{MASK}}'' (with Creator/AshiProductions and Studio World listed for Season 2, but no animator credits for Season 1). Some of their 90s efforts such as ''WesternAnimation/ExtremeDinosaurs'', ''WesternAnimation/StuntDawgs'' and ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'' list the studios involved, but not for any specific episodes. In a more general sense, most of [=DiC=]'s late 80s output just outright failed to credit any overseas companies altogether, and if they weren't outright omitted, voice actors would be listed without proper accreditation to their roles. Something that would continue until their closure. |
| 329 | * Dan Gordon was dismissed from Creator/FamousStudios shortly after its inception; his name was removed from the completed cartoons he directed such as "No Mutton Fer Nuttin'". |
| 330 | * Fred Wolf Films was notoriously bad about crediting overseas animation studios; ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'' only did it for the first two seasons (Toei and A-1 Productions, respectively) and Seasons 7-10 (Dai Won and Morning Sun), leaving who animated Seasons 3-6 (and specifically, which studios animated which specific episodes) a mystery outside of the episodes shipped to their Ireland branch. ''WesternAnimation/JamesBondJr'', ''WesternAnimation/BarnyardCommandos'' and ''WesternAnimation/ToxicCrusaders'' never listed ''any'' studio in the end credits. ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfSpeedRacer'' goes a step further and leaves out the voice cast as well. |
| 331 | * Depending on the country the shows air in, some Creator/MondoTV series will not list that the animation was done in North Korea by Creator/SEKStudio. The voice cast is also left out in several Mondo TV original shows from the 1990s and 2000s. |
| 332 | * Upon the release of ''WesternAnimation/GreenEggsAndHam2019'' (itself an example, listing only the studios involved with the series), [[https://twitter.com/AWDtwit/status/1194322430241599488 Andrew Dickman]] spoke up about Creator/WarnerBros not only pulling this trope, but also making animators become outright {{unperson}}s. |
| 333 | |
| 334 | !!!'''Shows:''' |
| 335 | * The Australian cartoon ''WesternAnimation/{{Bluey}}'' only credited the characters voiced by adult actors, with the characters voiced by children going uncredited due to privacy concerns. This means that Bandit and Chilli (AKA Dad and Mum)'s actors were credited, but not Bluey or Bingo's voice actresses. |
| 336 | * Creator/RubyWax was credited for every episode of ''WesternAnimation/CountDuckula'' she provided voices for barring her first, "Castle Duckula: Open to the Public". |
| 337 | * Ed Love, an animator at Creator/HannaBarbera at the time, animated some Wing Dings segments of ''WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines'' but his name appears nowhere in the credits. |
| 338 | * Creator/KathyGriffin never received screen credit for voicing Alice in the animated adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/{{Dilbert}}''. This was due to Griffin also starring in ''Series/SuddenlySusan'' at the same time, as her contract with NBC prohibited her from receiving screen credit on shows airing on other networks ("Dilbert" aired on UPN). |
| 339 | * ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': Creator/LaceyChabert went uncredited when she voiced Meg during the first production season, before she was replaced by Creator/MilaKunis. She finally received credit in "Back to the Pilot" and "Yug Ylimaf". |
| 340 | * ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeResolute'' does not credit Snake-Eyes' voice actor for the flashback depicting the assassination of the Hard Master and the gunshot wound that made Snake-Eyes unable to speak. |
| 341 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Invincible|2021}}'': When the show premiered, it was not known who provided the voice of Todd, before Creator/ChrisDiamantopoulos was credited. |
| 342 | * ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': Stephen Root was not credited for the first few seasons, due to his role on ''Series/NewsRadio''. |
| 343 | * ''WesternAnimation/LanguageArtsThroughImagination'': Unlike Figment's voice actor for the shorts, Billy Barty, none of the live action child actors were given any credit. |
| 344 | * ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': |
| 345 | ** Until 1944, Creator/MelBlanc received no onscreen credit for his voice work. He only was given a credit after asking for a raise. His bosses refused to give him one, but instead begrudgingly agreed to give him a voice work credit for all future ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' productions, making him one of the first voice actors to escape this trope. The first actor other than Blanc to receive screen credit was Creator/StanFreberg in 1957's ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeLittleBops''. |
| 346 | ** Directors typically went uncredited on cartoons completed or released after leaving Warner Bros. |
| 347 | *** Creator/TexAvery didn't receive credit on his last five cartoons, ''All This and Rabbit Stew'', ''The Bug Parade'', ''The Cagey Canary'', ''Aloha Hooey'' and ''Crazy Cruise''; the latter three were completed by Creator/BobClampett. |
| 348 | *** Clampett would later got this treatment on ''WesternAnimation/TheBigSnooze'' and ''Bacall to Arms'', the latter being completed by Art Davis (who was also uncredited). |
| 349 | *** Creator/FrizFreleng went uncredited as director on ''Hollywood Daffy''. Allegedly, Freleng was briefly suspended over a pay dispute, leaving his layout artist Hawley Pratt to pick up the slack. |
| 350 | *** Creator/FrankTashlin quit the studio in 1944, meaning that the remainder of the shorts he directed, such as ''Nasty Quacks'' or ''Hare Remover'', had him uncredited. The latter was finished by Creator/RobertMcKimson, who also went uncredited. |
| 351 | *** ''Everyone'' involved with ''Dough for the Do-Do'' (a shot-for-shot colour remake of ''WesternAnimation/PorkyInWackyland'', with a wholly different team working on it) went uncredited, with the only exceptions being Mel Blanc and Carl Stalling, both of whom were involved in the production of the original. This was because Friz Freleng himself felt that he didn't deviate from the original enough to warrant a credit, and since Clampett had long since left the studio, they couldn't credit him either. |
| 352 | *** Creator/ChuckJones did not receive credit for the shorts ''Zip Zip Hooray!'' or ''Roadrunner a Go-Go'', which were edited from the failed ''Adventures of the Road Runner'' pilot after the original Warner Bros. studio closed down. At the time these shorts were released (1965), Jones was working for MGM on the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' series. |
| 353 | ** All shorts that were given Blue Ribbon reissues before 1956 (encompassing re-releases of all the pre-1948 shorts, as well as five post-1948 shorts[[note]]''WesternAnimation/DaffyDilly'', ''WesternAnimation/ScaredyCat'', ''The Foghorn Leghorn'', ''Kit for Cat'', and ''You Were Never Duckier'', although all of these save for ''Daffy Dilly'' have since had their credits located and reinstated[[/note]]) scrapped the original titles, including the credits, meaning none of the crew would be credited in re-releases of those cartoons. |
| 354 | ** ''Nobody'' was credited for ''WesternAnimation/PageMissGlory'' except for layout/background artist Leadora Congdon, although producer Leon Schlesinger is credited on the lobby cards. Creator/TexAvery [[CreatorBacklash was rather dismissive of the cartoon,]] [[https://texaveryatwb.blogspot.com/2013/05/page-miss-glory-reluctant-excursion.html in part because he wasn't credited.]] |
| 355 | ** Milt Franklyn [[DiedDuringProduction suffered a fatal heart attack while scoring]] ''WesternAnimation/TheJetCage'', finishing only the first third of the cartoon. Bill Lava took over for the rest of the cartoon, starting with the scene where Sylvester tries to catch Tweety's cage with a net. Lava was not credited for his work in this particular cartoon. |
| 356 | ** ''WesternAnimation/PorkyAndGabby'' and ''Porky's Super Service'' are both agreed by animation historians to have been ghost-directed by Creator/BobClampett and Creator/ChuckJones. However, Creator/UbIwerks is credited as the shorts' director, because they were outsourced to his studio. |
| 357 | * On Filmation's ''The New Adventures of WesternAnimation/MightyMouse and WesternAnimation/HeckleAndJeckle'', studio heads Norm Prescott and Lou Schiemer voiced Theodore Bear (in the ''Quacula'' episodes) and Mighty Mouse respectively but neither are credited. |
| 358 | * During the time when Face was the main mascot of Creator/NickJr, there were dubs of his bumpers made for the Australian market, but the voice actor dubbing his lines is unknown.[[note]]There is some speculation that Creator/CharlieAdler was the Australian voice of Face, but we may never know for certain.[[/note]] |
| 359 | * The 1963 animated short ''[[WesternAnimation/NoddysToylandAdventures Noddy Goes To Toyland]]'' by Arthur Humberstone never credited the voice actors. It wasn't until late 2021, when it was revealed that Bernard Cribbins and Kathryn Beaumont (best known as the voice of [[WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland Alice]] and [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Wendy]]) were the main voice actors for the short. |
| 360 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Creator/MattGroening had his name removed from the episode "A Star Is Burns" due to viewing the episode as a half-hour commercial for ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'', leading to a well-publicized spat with producer Creator/JamesLBrooks (who had fought to bring ''The Critic'' to Fox). |
| 361 | * ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'': |
| 362 | ** The VA of MysteriousInformant "Fulcrum" from the first season went uncredited for all of their voice-only appearances before TheReveal in season finale [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E13FireAcrossTheGalaxy "Fire Across the Galaxy"]] that Fulcrum was [[spoiler:Ahsoka Tano from ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'', voiced by Creator/AshleyEckstein]]. |
| 363 | ** In a combination of this trope, CharacterAsHimself and DescendedCreator, RobotBuddy Chopper, credited "As Himself" throughout the series, was revealed in the series finale to have been voiced by series creator Creator/DaveFiloni the entire time. |
| 364 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' did this with its animation teams to the point where one episode, "Call of the Primitives", was the subject of [[PopCultureUrbanLegends a longtime rumor]] over who animated it. It wouldn't be until 2020 when the answer finally came out -- it was series regulars Creator/ToeiAnimation (as was half of Season 3). |
