In the 4K profile for Creed II (UPC 883929-665488), the role of Viktor Drago is credited to Florian "Big Nasty" Muntuneau, with "Big Nasty" as his official middle name. I don't think ring nicknames for boxers/wrestlers/MMA fighters belong as part of an actor's official name. Clearly the profile should read Florian Muntuneau (credited as Florian "Big Nasty" Muntuneau).

I'm only asking because, although this makes logical sense to me, I've been tripped up by arcane rules here before.

from the rules:
If an actor's credited name includes a nickname, highlighted by ", ’ or ( ), list it in the middle name field. For example John "JS" Smith, John ‘JS’ Smith or John (JS) Smith
Nothing arcane about it.

However in the case what you suggested is correct because he is credited as Florian Muntuneau more times than he is credited as Florian "Big Nasty" Muntuneau in the online database (per the Credit Lookup tool). And never as Big Nasty.
