Separate actor credits credited as 'Archive footage' or possibly 'Self'

I agree that archive footage should be removed but "self" credits absolutely should not be removed. Just because an actor is portraying their real-life persona it's still scripted 99% of the time. Jean-Claude Van Damme playing himself in a cameo in "Last Action Hero" is still acting. Look at "Penn Teller Get Killed." The movie is 100% scripted but they are still credited as themselves.
