People view functionally does not work for directors

Open LeonNamowitz opened this issue 3 months ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug Currently the page of a person seems to only show films or shows that they appear in. This works great for actors but is rather unhelpful for directors. For example the page of Christopher Nolan or Rian Johnson show none of the movies they directed.

To Reproduce Search for any director and click on their page

Expected behavior Viewing the page of a film director should show the movies they directed, either in addition or instead of ones they had acting roles in.

I imagine this should be possible since TheMovieDB separates entries into categories like "Directing", "Acting", "Production", "Writing", etc.

Maybe to add as a feature-request, so not directly related to this issue: it would be nice if you could click in the movie-view directly on the directors name, and then get the person-view of that director. :)
