That is pretty cool Josh.
But as a tip, you might want to think about intentionally mis-spelling your name is some weird affected Hollywood way or change your name. Because the XIII after your name means that there are twelve other namesakes out there also on IMDB. See what I mean? You move to LA, work your way up to that first good opportunity and they go to check you on IMDB and see that all of the stuff on your CV isn't there and there is a bunch of other stuff that they happened to not like. Or some other mis-identity mess up.
Sounds affected to do this but I have several other friends with common names and they have had some issues with this. It's almost a little like identity theft, where you get mistaken for other namesakes and they get mistaken for you?
Just a thought if you are serious about the business. Or include your middle name, my boss did that because there are three or four of his name on IMDB and he was tired of missing credits on his listing. Generally producers who are hiring you and doing the IMDB listing are pretty lazy about details like this (getting your credit right), it is a lot of work to get something onto IMDB when it is a whole feature or tv show if the producer is lisiting everyone. You need your own identity instead of being "number 13".
