Since their is an actor credit after the stunts, then I think it's been decided that we include the Stunts.  And yes, it's a dog, but I don't think that matters much.  We have movies with animals and even cars and other crazy stuff getting actor credits, so I think it counts.

Alan Poul - The "Suit"
Jim Freeman - The "Suit"
Adele Proom - Nikos' Mother
Astrid Walti - Stunt
Liisa Cohen - Stunt
Trisha Lane - Stunt
Ashley L. Cusato - Stunt
Jujuba - Monica's Dog (Nancy Reagan)
Quake - Monica's Dog (Nancy Reagan)

The "Suit" guys could be done a number of ways.  Usually we just remove the plural, but it's kind of odd in this case.  I can't think of any other clever way to do it, so this is pretty much how I would do it.

The plurals would be 'as credited', which is why I left them as an 'or' for the cast roles.  For the stunt people, we don't know whether or not they performed one stunt or several stunts.  Changing them to a singular is making an assumption not supported by the credits.

I am not an English native speaker, so I may well be wrong, but The "Suit" would make me think there is just one role and two actors playing it... (?)

What about just "Suit" ?

I haven't seen this film, so I can't say for certain, but calling someone a "suit" is a slang way for describing people dressed in well-tailored suits or tuxedos, such as businessmen, capitalists, or government agents.
If this is the situation then, the "suit" is a valid role name.

You are correct, however it is an term meant as an insult.  Basically a corporate stooge or someone that is stiff and uncool.

As to the role, my personal choice would be 'The "Suit"'.  But I do know that there are some who are sticklers and do not like to drop the plural.  That is why I gave both examples.

I thought we always credit any animals that actually appear in credits.  Lassie comes to mind, among a slew of others.

The Rules just say "actor information". I can't find anything against stunt actors or dog actors. Woof!   

Quote:
For any film with standard credits, take the actor information from the end credits only, with names and roles listed exactly as they are in the credits and in exactly the same order credited.


Personally, I would leave out only stunt coordinators and animal instructors, as they are not actors, so it's not "actor information", even if listed in the Cast section. But I'll give it to you that's controversial, if they are credited in the Cast section.

I agree with that last statement, but for the first part I would enter:

Alan Poul as          The "Suit"
Jim Freeman as      The "Suit"
Adele Proom as      Nikos' Mother

I normally agree with you Michael, but on this occasion I'd disagree and say keep the dogs in.

Woof! indeed

Maybe we should reanimate the old "Llama discussion" from the movie "MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL"

I can live with animals in the cast list. I may even support to add them. But pleeeeaaaase spare us from having to deal with animals in the crew list (specially as directors). Not even if they are specially trained llamas.
