I was looking at the Stephen King page on IMDb and at the bottom under the
"miscellaneous crew" category, King is listed as the modeler, shading artist,
and technical effects artist. I suppose this could be true, but I'm assuming
it's a mistake. Does anyone know anything else about this?

Stephen King "the writer" is not the only person that own that name in the US.
It is not as common as John Smith but still. His name was not retired after his
birth so my guess is that there is another Stephen King that works in the film
business. Pretty obvious to me anyway.

As much as I love SK, I don't think he is the only person on this planet
with that name...LOL!!

No, it is the same Stephen King; it's listed
with all of this other credits as writer, producer,
actor, filmographer, etc.

I don't know about THAT but a couple of days ago I was watching a movie and
in the credits appeared this name: Richard Fannin. RF! I nearly wet myself!
Apparently the Dark Man with the run down boot heels is now a boom stick
operator for MGM.

Considering King hasn't hired Flagg to appear in a book in ages I guess the poor sap had to find
work elsewhere.

Stephen King the writer has nothing to do with "Toy Story." The
Internet Movie Data Base relies on submissions from general fans and,
in general, does not screen submissions to the data base for accuracy.
You could put yourself in a film's credits if you wanted, and it's
likely not many people would realize it.
