How to disambiguate actors with the same name? - Divisions by zero

While scrolling through the credits of a documentary on my server, I was gobsmacked to learn that David Cameron, former PM of the UK, had played a small role in Mad Max. Fuck, he pulled of that mechanic’s Aussie accent with no trouble, and at only age 13! Obviously this actor just has the same name, but I can’t find a way to tell jellyfin that this is someone else. It feels bad that I can either choose for this actor’s biography to be overshadowed by the PM, or to cast him as himself in a documentary about a bunch of terrible people. Does anyone know of a solution?

The actor unions typically require that each actor use a unique name, which is why so many actors use their middle initials, or use an alternate name.

I don’t have a solution for your issue, sadly.

Interesting fact though. 👍
