The new Discovery feature is just great. Its nice that you can search across the streaming services, but also other plex servers you have access.  
But could be nice that you also could select an actor, and then get a list of movies that he/she is present in. Just like you can in tha regular plex.

There’s already an existing suggestion thread that’s asking for such an option.  
I suggest you comment/vote in that thread in order to avoid distracting/dispersing votes.

> I’ve been wanting this little feature for a while but never posted about it. We have all this great metadata and plex makes it look so beautiful. When you see the pics of the actors or directors etc under the Movie or show you’re looking at…It would be amazing if when you click on them it brought you to other titles they are involved in. I’ve seen this on other services and it’s just an awesome little extra way to browse for content.

I’ll therefore close this thread as a duplicate.
