I would be nice when you click on an actors name and it pulls up related content if it would pull back content for all libraries not just the one you are currently sitting in. So if you are in TV and you click on an actors name it will bring back other shows in TV then a section for Movies

There’s a feature suggestion addressing this
> [@Clicking an Actor opens ALL content in Library](https://forums.plex.tv/t/clicking-an-actor-opens-all-content-in-library/284866):
>
> When we watch a film or TV Show, we find an actor/actress we recognise, so we go back and click their name, but it only shows what is in that current library, NOT what’s in all Plex - I have various libraries, like so many others (4k Films, 3D Films, Films, TV Shows, Recorded TV, 4k TV etc) It would be useful if Plex showed us what we have in ALL our library or included a link to IMDB for that person, or BOTH would be perfect slight_smile Thanks for reading.

The issue seems to be Plex isn’t addressing a 3 Year Old Feature Request for a ‘Feature’ we shouldn’t need to request at all.
Every Plex User on Planet Earth would call this one a no brainer, but Plex doesn’t seem to be on the same page as Users.

Agreed, it’s just ridiculous that I have to reach over for my iPad to do IMDb search when my choice of Media Player can not offer the same.

… and yet…
Plex doesn’t have ANY ISSUES crossing over library types or agents to get an image of a Rodent from TVDB to infect your entire Plexiverse:
and worse… doesn’t see any problem that needs fixing. \<— and I’m sure that Feature Request is old enough to draw Social Security as well.
This is what we’re up against, folks.

Well, The Rodentia image looks better, but that’s not the point… go refresh metadata on The Mandalorian and you too can have Rodents at the White House. \<—just like every other Plex User on The Whirling Blue Orb in Space.
