Hey Plex team 
First of all, loving the Discover and People features — they’re seriously powerful and super fun to browse through. There’s one small UX tweak I’d love to see that could really improve navigation:
Right now, when I’m browsing a movie inside a specific library and click on an actor’s name, it only shows me their appearances within that single library. But sometimes, that actor is in multiple libraries (e.g. Movies, Anime, Mini-Series), and I want to see all of their appearances across all libraries, or even jump straight to their full Plex metadata page (the one with bio, known-for, etc.).
Would be amazing if there was a little button or icon that lets me jump from the limited “in-library” actor view to their full global Plex actor page — maybe something like “View Full Profile” or a simple “More”.
Would love to see this kind of deep linking between library browsing and the Discover universe. Keep up the awesome work!
– A very happy Plex user 
You must still be using the old classic agent. Libraries with these agents are restricted to only showing content from that library. If you switch to the new Plex agent, the actor info should cover all libraries using the new agent.
Edit - Using the new agent will also provide data from Plex discover so their appearances show up, even from things you don’t have.
Thanks for the reply!
I actually created a brand new library using the new Plex Movie agent (not Legacy), and I made sure to refresh all metadata after setting it up.
However, the issue still exists — when I access an actor’s profile from within that library, it still only shows titles from that specific library. There’s no option to jump to the actor’s full profile (the Discover-level one that shows all libraries and metadata like bio, known for, etc.).
So I still think it would be very helpful UX-wise to have a “View Full Profile” or “More” button that takes you from the limited in-library actor view to the full global actor page.
Appreciate the help though!
You have to uncheck Allow matching to explicit content in each library’s advanced settings for the cast to match across them.
Update — Confirmed that unchecking “Allow matching to explicit content” in all my libraries actually fixed the issue. 
Now the actor pages inside each library correctly show appearances from all my libraries. That setting was clearly blocking the cross-library cast matching.
Appreciate the help @nolankotulan — that tip nailed it!
