I’ve recently come across and issue whereby the incorrect actor info is being pulled from the Metadata.

The films ‘Curse of the Golden Flower (2006)’ and ‘2046 (2004)’ feature the actor Gong Li, however for some reason, the actor displayed is instead Wu Yigong. Looking at IMDB and The MovieDB, Gong Li is showing, but for some reason Plex is pulling Wu Yigong instead. All other metadata for both films is correct and using ‘Fix Match’ doesn’t make a difference as it is looking at the correct film in both cases.

Any suggestioins on how I can fix this?
