is there any automated way to delete all the (As character) on the actors field??. Or to reimport actor list from iMDB without the (As character)??

So instead of
Nicole Kidman (as Grace), Harriet Andersson (as Gloria), Lauren Bacall (as Ma Ginger), Jean-Marc Barr (as The Man with the Big Hat), Paul Bettany (as Tom Edison), Blair Brown (as Mrs. Henson), James Caan (as The Big Man), Patricia Clarkson (as Vera), Jeremy Davies (as Bill Henson), Ben Gazzara (as Jack McKay), Philip Baker Hall (as Tom Edison Sr.), Thom Hoffman (as Gangster), Siobhan Fallon (as Martha (as Siobhan Fallon Hogan)), John Hurt (as Narrator (voice)), Zeljko Ivanek (as Ben)

we get
Nicole Kidman, Harriet Andersson, Lauren Bacall, Jean-Marc Barr, Paul Bettany, and so on (i've deleted'em by hand)

thanks

It should be possible to make a script that does that.
Right now I do not have time to do that; but I think that I already did it and posted it on the forum (or maybe it was by mail ; I'll have to check my outbox)
