That's one of my ideas, but if I were to implement something like that, 
I'd want to do it properly, and that could really slow down the program 
even further.

My 'simple' idea, is to check using case-matching. Every role seems to 
use lowercase so looking for lowercase-only 'line' (etc) would match the 
roles, and ignore the company name (if present). But every assumption 
I've made regarding IMDb data so far has been wrong...I can't find a 
profile where this would fall down though...
