When using PLEX you can select an actor to see every movie/tv show that they have been in, but only if you have it in your library. It would be nice to have a section that shows ‘un-owned’ content, i.e., all movies/tv that you don’t own.

For example, when I click on a movie in my PLEX server that has Al Pacino, I see 15 movies that are on my server. It would be nice to show all other’s from his discography page from IMDB or another source ([https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1158-al-pacino](https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1158-al-pacino))

There’s already an existing feature suggestion discussing an option to see the full filmography of an actor. I suggest you comment/vote in that thread in order to avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.

> It would be nice to be able to see a full listing of all movies that an actor or actress is in when clicking on their image. Not just what you have available in your library. There are often times I would like to see more from an an actor or actress or might know them from another movie but don’t remember which one. Or if I like an actor maybe it would give you ideas of what else you can watch with them in it. The data seems readily available. Would just require an additional scrape. Thanks! …

There’s yet another suggestion asking for a full “actor profile” with more information from the various agents. That thread is quite old and it seems some of the mockups they created are no longer visible.

Actor-Pictures and Profile-Pages could be a great addition. &nbsp; Because like with Trailers - we don't want to go to IMDb when we're "plex'ing" , right ? slight_smile &nbsp; Hover: ![post-103479-0-10884800-1408292358.png|690x380](upload://b1YqHcmbfeS5oU1Bylm6bnwN3xN.png) &nbsp; More: ![post-103479-0-85884800-1408292445.png|690x360](upload://dnkyLeEJp433fS4oxQV6E4O0d6D.png) &nbsp; ProfilePage: ![post-103479-0-29478600-1408292477.jpg|623…

Unless I’ve missed some unique aspect, I’ll close this thread as a duplicate.

Ahh, thanks for that. I did a quick search but didn’t see those.
