Two others; one big, one small:&lt;p&gt;BIG: iafd doesn&apos;t cover loops ( &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porn_loop&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porn_loop&lt;/a&gt; ) or their descendents, internet scenes, unless they were eventually compiled into a movie. I would expect &apos;one scene and out&apos; performers to be more common at the lower end of the market (not shrewd/no body of work) and most of that is going to be internet.&lt;p&gt;small: The fact that porn tends to cluster around samey names, plus the fact that people who are just dabbling in porn don&apos;t put a lot of thought into their names means that a lot of one time performers end up accidentally rolled into another performer&apos;s filmography.</text></comment>

I would not be surprised to discover that one scene results in three credited appearances on average.</text></comment>
