 My recordedcredits table has:

role :
set('actor','director','producer','executive_producer','writer','guest_star','host','adapter','presenter','commentator','guest')

When I press 'I' on a show that has "Guest Stars", it shows anyone with the
'guest_star' role.

The machine I pulled that from is still running the 'native'
schedulesdirect grabber.
