Images of CHARACTERS alongside ACTORS for any given Movie

It has always astounded me that this has never been implemented to date.

What if I have not yet established that the Lion in Madagascar is called "Alex"?

If I want to find out which Actor does the voice-over for this Character, must I REALLY watch the movie till somebody addresses him just to find out the Character Name so I can cross-reference this against the Cast List on IMDB?

@FanaticJason Yes, this feature exists.  In your example, click “Alex” in the cast list on https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0351283/ to reach https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0351283/characters/nm0001774

Hope this helps.

@Col_Needham​ Thanks for the quick response Col, and that's great - thanks for introducing me to this. But (IMHO) this does not address the issue I am REALLY getting at:

 - *YOU* are suggesting a mechanism for me to pick out an ACTOR visually from the Cast List and find out which CHARACTER he does the voice-over FOR

 - *I* am suggesting a mechanism for me to pick out a CHARACTER visually from the Cast List and find out which ACTOR does the voice-over for HIM/HER/IT

With all due respect, seeing a series of Hollywood faces when I am looking for an animated character from the movie ITSELF means nothing to me! :-)

It is not until I hear somebody ADDRESS the lion during the movie that I will even REALISE the name I should be looking for (in the case OF the lion) is Alex.

If more than one character is portrayed by a given performer, then ought/would an image be displayed for each of those characters or just one of them? What happens if the quantity of them portrayed by the same performer exceeds, say, five? Would the remaining be hidden? Would the row have some kind of scrolling functionality? Or should there altogether be a separate section devoted to characters and who portrayed them?
