OK this sounds really good, I didn't realize that you had already  
sorted this out.

One issue is whether the multiple actors are entered with enough  
consistency that your import program could do this. Am I right that  
the format of these would always have to be the same? How exactly?  
(ie spaces in the same places? etc)
