Actor Fanart? (1 Viewer)

[TommySharp]

Hi,

Did a bit of a search and am just wondering if anybody else has ever thought about this?

When browsing movies by Actor (as opposed to Title/Genre etc) would it be possible or even wanted to have fanart of the actual actor... So, say when you are on Edward Norton it would have fanart of Edward Norton, for example...and the same for each every other actor.

Is it possible in the future, does anybody else desire something like this?

it sounds pretty interesting, i don't think i've really browsed by actor really at the moment so i wouldn't even know what it looks like, but i can imagine fan art would be cool to have for it

I think it's a great idea. I sure would like it and use it.

No one else thinking this is a cool idea?

Could work along the lines of when browsing by actor it will look in an "Actors" folder under "Thumbs". I don't think there is anywhere online that could serve as a source for the images just yet but we could easily build up a collection of the most common actors?

Would be interesting. If sources can be found, it would be pretty cool.

I think this is a great idea, I often find myself jumping over to imdb.com to find out what else some actors played in. As for sources I'd take a look at My Movies - Home if I'm not mistaken XBMC made a partnership with them some time ago to be able to use them as a source, and I'd love to see them added to MovingPictures aswell.

But there are other things like confirming/changing movies in the GUI and grouping of movie-series that I'd like to see first.
