So for movies whose cast list is sorted alphabetically, or by order of appearance, currently only top names would appear, and if the actor is not on main cast list on IMDB, they won't appear at all in our database. I've requested this be fixed a long time ago. Best is to have Tom address this (he's the site's developer). He mentioned its a priority fix but no word on when it will be corrected. |

A solution could be a tool which compares the full cast lists of imdb with a predefined list of the most known actors to pick them out and load them into the listal database. |

I also love the new 'written by' and 'screenplay by', with links to author pages.Tom, maybe its time to send a mass-email to all registered accounts, explaining a few big changes in past few months? namely merging of games and handling of special editions, full cast list, links to writers of movie scripts, moderated groups, completely re-vamped custom lists, links to lists in item pages, movie and game trailers, and improved searching (by platform, by actor, director, etc) and coming soon, merging of dvds, books, and music. I'm sure there are thousands that may have tried the site, and some things bugged them and they just stopped showing up. By annoucing all improvements, we may get dormant accounts to come back to the site. |

I'm sick of seeing the guys that just pop up in loads of films that I have seen. I'd rather My Actors were my Top rated. |
