Wait, so "signature role" can mean television?

IMDb somehow picks from everything listed for the person in question. And that includes TV shows. You'll note, I was careful not to mention "movies" in my description. ;)

Does it include TV? I have not seen anyone listed for a TV show... hmmm. Even people that clearly should have, like the friends people

Yes, it does include TV, I do have some examples. But not always where you would expect.

If you want proof, look up Colm Meany, although do a search for "Colm Meny", if you spell it right, you get his direct page. I won't be including him in a game because my answer for him would have been The Commitments or one of the Trek series. But when I was playing around with developing this game, he was the first one that came up with a TV series listed.
