A wrong Actor (Damon Wayans, Jr.) appears on movies and series starring Damon Wayans. The Plex Agents are Plex Movie and Plex TV Series. e.g. Bulletproof (1996) tmdb=10723, What’s Up, Dad? (2001) tmdb= 2692

There does appear to be something strange happening with Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans, Jr.. I’m guessing the role ids are getting mixed up somewhere in plex.
If you check Beverly Hills Cop as another example in plex you will see that Damon Wayans, Jr. is credited as Banana Man which can also be confirmed → Beverly Hills Cop (1984) - Where to watch the movie online - Plex but if you check on TMDB its Damon Wayans.
Looking at the xml outout I can see:
Beverly Hills Cop:
<Role id="329355" filter="actor=329355" tag="Damon Wayans Jr." role="Banana Man" thumb="https://metadata-static.plex.tv/d/people/da3ecd1f915599ed6ba51d12fb667408.jpg"/>
which is wrong while if I check …
Big Hero 6:
<Role id="223645" filter="actor=223645" tag="Damon Wayans Jr." role="Wasabi (voice)" thumb="https://metadata-static.plex.tv/d/people/da3ecd1f915599ed6ba51d12fb667408.jpg"/>
Looking at Last Action Hero I think this has the correct role id for Damon Wayans as per below:
<Role id="329468" filter="actor=329468" tag="Damon Wayans" role="Damon Wayans" thumb="https://metadata-static.plex.tv/e/people/e4448f9813f8ca0fec4f938c005ff8d9.jpg"/>
fyi… @drzoidberg33

Last Action Hero is correct

I am also seeing this With “Earth Girls are Easy” Starring Damon Wayans, but it’s listed his son in his role. However, Last Action Hero and The Last Boy Scout are picking Damon Wayans correctly.
Weirdly, I refreshed the Metadata and “Earth Girls are Easy” correctly changed to Damon Wayans, but then a subsequent refresh changed him back to his son. It’s almost like Plex is doing a string comparison on the actors’ names.
