Plex has always done this, the last version for an actor thumb is always used. For instance, if I rescan breaking bad, this is Bob Odenkirk on all shows he appears: ![Bob_Odenkirk](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/e/4/e485b4facd4e6b9d23518ac2416d8fedc04a0861.jpeg) ![imagen](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/c/e/ce3f2a8349d962d15ed17f4c9c80b3f628da699a.jpeg) But if I go to Better Call Saul it’s wrong, should be this one: ![Bob_Odenkirk](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/1/6/16f6f04a81236da32adf55fb05733b7256abe02b.jpeg) ![imagen](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/c/f/cfdf4fc027dab81547994b97f1127ff06c443638.jpeg) And on Fargo too.. If I were to update thumbs on Fargo, then the fargo thumb of Bob Odenkirk would shouw up on all shows instead. TheTVDB has nice thumbs for each show, so it would be ideal if the thumb was not tied to the actor name but the actor name/show name tuple. ---

The Godfather of Soul definitely didn’t appear in Sands of Iwo Jima: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/f/7/f7bb1cc4f414783c316ebeeecd1a43d4fc007af8.jpeg) ---

The new TV Agent which is in alpha testing at the moment will resolve this long standing issue. ---

I use nfo files and the nfo importer, do you think it’s an issue on the importer? ---
