When searching for an actor, I click on the actor and instead of opening the page for the actor, it brings me to the library page.

This does not happen when searching for a movie or a tv show. Those searches work as expected.

To reproduce:

- select the search icon
- enter an actor’s name (e.g. Bill Murray)
- click on the actor in the results
- note that the app returns the last selected library view (e.g. Movies/Browse) instead of the actor’s page.

Same bug on Android to, it’s been there all through preview to, one of those that should’ve been fixed during pressure me thinks?  
The UI is taking some getting used to, especially being registered severely sight impaired/blind, I don’t think it’s been thought through for users like myself and others!
