Yes, directors etc. are stores as well, but that wasn't my point. Rather 
that the name "role" is confusing, because I'd expect the character name 
there (e.g. "Captain Jean Luc Picard"). That info is currently not at 
all stored, and it's unfortunately not even in XMLTV files, but I think 
that info is essential and should be added (to XMLTV and Myth), if the 
credits are to be useful for a given movie.
