You mean like when an actor asks to be taken off the credits of a movie?
If you ever see "Shakes the Clown" (Bobcat Goldthwait), billed as "the
'Citizen Kane' of alcoholic clown movies," you will see that Robin
Williams has an extended cameo as a dark-side mime ... but Robin's not
in the credits. And if you see the movie, you will know why Robin asked
(probably threatening a law suit) to be removed form the credits.
