Myth currently only allows:
'actor','director','producer','executive_producer','writer','guest_star','host','adapter','presenter','commentator','guest'

I can't imagine it being too hard to make Myth handle the 'role' in a more
generic manor -- at the expense of being able to pick-n-choose what shows
up on the first 'I'nformation page.  The short-term fix, though, would be
to map:

'Actor' -> 'actor'
'%Director%' -> 'director'
'%Producer%' -> 'producer'
'Writer%' -> 'writer'
'Guest Star' -> 'guest_star'
'Host' -> 'host'
'Guest%' -> 'guest'
