Additional actor, director and producer scraping

I recently found a need to look up additional information on a director. I was hoping to look at the director's profile and see not only the movies I had in my collection but also a list of other movies that they have directed. This would be displayed below the library's current movies. ex:

 

My movies:

Movie 1, Movie 2

 

Other movies by this person:

Movie 3, Movie4

 

================

 

This could help one expand their library and to discover a missing gem.

Yes, it's a nice feature ! Will be perfect with a link near title to show the corrispective url to IMDB too for example to quick open it and\or a checkbox to put them in a sot of Watchlist Wannabe to keep track of what missing on a collection.

I would like to expand on this a bit. Not only would I like to see a list of all the media in library with the Actor/Director/Writer as it does now, but also list any that not in library.

It would be also a good idea to pre-fetch the name of the roles as well so when you open up Mark Harmon's page you see the cover and under it:

 [Movie Cover Art]
The Presidio * 1988
     as Jay Austin

and

   [Series Cover Art]
   NCIS * 2003-2022
435 eps as Leroy Gibbs

This would be terrific to add. I use this in Plex quite a bit to discover new movies/shows based on cast members.

I would love to have this feature in Emby! It's the only thing that still makes me consider Plex and such integration would be terrific

Added my agreement in the 1st post. I would love to see this pull additional information for all movies for a given actor/director, not just what is in my library.

Shamelessly bumping this to get more attention.

I'm shocked this doesn't have more votes..

Any updates on this ? :) 

This will be a killer feature. 
Alongside the ability to have a "Watchlist" or something, like IMDB does, so we can save titles that we want to watch in the future.
