The IMDB is a wonderful resource, but it doesn’t list a performer’s appearances in music videos or commercials, which can be a big or at least interesting part of their career. [Courteney Cox](http://us.imdb.com/Name?Cox,+Courteney), for example, is inescapably associated with Springsteen’s “Dancing In the Dark” video. Similarly, [David Leisure](http://us.imdb.com/Bio?Leisure,+David) is better known as “Joe Isuzu” than for any other work he’s done.

Both examples above are mentioned in the actors’ biographies at IMDB, but not in their filmographies. Is there another Web database (or two) that would gather this sort of stuff?
