Searching for actors is a daunting task to scroll through them all. How about linking actors in a movie pane? EX. when you go to a movie screen, the actors show at the bottom. How about being able to click on those actors and see all the movies the are in.

That’s already there in the Plex Web app. Are you referring to another app?

Also available in Plex for Windows client. The Android TV app lists the actors, but does not provide a list of their movies if you select their picture. Displaying the list of actors is a relatively recent addition to the Android TV app. Hopefully listing their movies will be added in a future re…

I’m referring to the Plex app on an android device like the FireStick. I don’t watch too many movies from my computer.

Just got a shield today and am coming off the roku app and I cannot believe that selecting an cast member does nothing and does not bring you to a list of movies/shows they are credited for. This is on roku and has been for years (I think) so am amazed its not on the android TV app. Is there a mai…

Ya, this is why I started the thread. Wasn’t sure where to notify Plex for adding this option. Hoping the community response would bring it to the developers attention. It would be a nice feature.

Plex knows this already… and they give a damn… It’s a shame how actors and so much else is handled … just like the “overall” actors-view (from search) just brings you to the movie-section only … whats with every other sections?! Again something emby has for years, inclusive fav. actors it’s ridi…
