maybe I'm just blind, but how do you search for an actor?

if you type in their exact name (no typo, first and last name required) with 'Movies' option, you'll get an option at top of your search result with actor's link.

not perfect, i know, but its all we got so far.

Just a short note concerning searching of people.. you can't search for an actor if he also is a director:

My gosh, you're right about that. Ain't that swell:
www.listal.com/search/movies/1/?query=marlon+brando
www.listal.com/search/movies/1/?query=clint+eastwood
www.listal.com/search/movies/1/?query=jack+nicholson
etc. etc.

Not to mention Johnny Depp!

Beside of that, isn't it a wrong design if you think of someone who is an actor and a director as if they were two persons?
It should be one Person.

Yep. You'll also notice that actors who have the same name get lumped together. Awkward example would be pornstars who've taken their name from old time movie actors. So on a cast list for a 30s movie, you might get a picture of a young woman sucking a pink plastic dildo. ...hmm, maybe I should go change that one...

I'm assuming this'll get fixed eventually.

That isn't Antonio Banderas in Confessions of a MILF Nympho!?

The search function needs to be improved in coordinance with the item pages. Easier searching in addition to more helpful results.

If our moderator would just tell us rather than keeping his boss' dirty secrets that'd be helpful too.
