Please add an image of the character the actors play in the movie

The 3 that don't belong, I'm supposing: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083866/mediaviewer/rm251042560 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083866/mediaviewer/rm284596992 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083866/mediaviewer/rm519478016 except... these do show D.Barrymore, very likely at an event relating to the film (20th anniversary, perhaps). And when we post an image to a title, and label it with the Actor name, then it looks like it automatically goes to the corresponding character page. Well, hopefully the character page also gets image(s) from the film, not just events.

 vylmen, I don't know why you're being so cryptic. Just describe the problem.   Right now I'm seeing the new media viewer, and the gallery link to see "9 more photos" goes directly to an image on that media viewer, which is known NOT to follow the photos from that sub-gallery (it follows the photos for the entire title gallery). I would expect the "9 more photos" link to display a second gallery page, as it would do in the past, I believe.

when posting the information about these movies, could it be possible to post the characters cartoon/cgi image along with the actors picture so you can see who is playing who without clicking back and forth to match character with the voice actor Note: This comment was created from a merged conversation originally titled animated/cgi movies

(I could've sworn somebody elese already proposed this a long time ago.)

@Nomad308  To see cast members in character, please click the character names on the cast list.  For example on https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102926/ clicking Clarice Starling under Jodie Foster's name will take you to https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102926/characters/nm0000149 with character photos and quotes.   Hope this helps. 

@Col_Needham​ doesn't help when you don't know the characters name when you are looking up someone you saw in a clip of a movie. I'd have to click on every female character in some instances before I found who I was looking for.  For example: The Fury, with Kurt Douglas.  Saw a short clip and didn't now the characters name (several school girls eating in cafeteria) went to IMDb page for the movie and I still can't identify several of them because none of the pictures look like they did then. 

@jeorj_euler​ when? What was the response then? 

@Nomad308​ This is a good use case, thanks.  We have moved this back to an Idea post.

@Col_Needham​ At least consider adding a button that lets people toggle between the cast as they looked in the movie, and how they look now (or most current headshot).

For example here is a picture of Melody Thomas Scott that could display in the cast list on The Fury.  I didn't see that in her listing.

Here is the photo

I don't know. I do remember thinking (possibly remarking) that there an extra column (on the last generation layout) ought to be implemented on cast listings, such that a screenshot of the face of one of the characters portrayed by an actor could be placed to the right of the role field. Let us bear in mind that this wouldn't necessarily be easy to implement, since it would be like creating a whole extra data field within the filmography item type, in addition to the character name/description, attribute and crediting order within the same item type, which might require a fundamental change to the way the data is organized in the database. I've actually gone so far as to propose that a data field within the filmography item type just for short descriptions of characters, separate from what ordinarily stores the character name/description, be created. Given the way that the current character pages work (by displaying screenshots and quotes), I suppose maybe new data fields within the filmography item type may not be necessary, but the cool thing about them is that they are mutually connected to a specific pairing of title page and name page, so as to appear when accessing either one.

@jeorj_euler​ 😀 ? ? ajbath Saturday, January 30th, 2016 Character / Actor photos Would it be possible to include character photos along with the actor photos  when displaying the cast?  Sometimes it is easier to recognise the character by sight rather than name. https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/character-actor-photos/5f4a79868815453dba8049d5 torchwood_pride Saturday, August 10th, 2013 Actor Photos in Character https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/actor-photos-in-character/5f4a792d8815453dba74a3e8 .

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? Note: This comment was created from a merged conversation originally titled Images of CHARACTERS alongside ACTORS for any given Movie

@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.

@FanaticJason​ Thanks for clarifying.  We have converted this back into an idea post. 

Amazing Col - thank you, thank you, thank you! Generally speaking though... *LOVING* your website - keep up the good work! :-)

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?

IMDB is great to see who voiced cartoon characters, but right now we only see the character name they voiced.  Main characters are easy, but many are not.  I'd like to see the actor photo list include a photo of the cartoon voiced in addition to the cartoon name.  When cartoon movies have alot of character names it's hard to piece together using just the cartoon characters first name. This feature/idea could be applied to all movies.  Include a photo of the actor in the movie (in costume, makeup, etc) next to the actor's current photo and characters name.
