    I recently purchased the blu-ray set of Slow Horses, seasons 1-3, and have imported them to Jellyfin.

    This show was produced by Will Smith, a white British bloke who writes, produces, and does a little acting (https://www.themoviedb.org/person/234120-will-smith).

    But in Jellyfin, the picture shows Will Smith, a black American known for "The Slap" (https://www.themoviedb.org/person/2888-will-smith).

    If I open the details of this person I get the biography for the American, a list of the movies of his on my Server, but also Slow Horses.

    I've fixed this by changing TMDB ID in the metadata for this person, and now I get the correct picture and bio, but his page on my Jellyfin server still shows all of the American's movies? How do I fix this

    For future reference, how does Jellyfin handle pulling the correct information for two people who happen to have the same name?

    Now edited to add: This actually doesn't fix anything. Because now, if I go to I Am Legend, I see the photo of a white British gentleman as the main actor. So it looks like Jellyfin needs a way to ID/separate two persons with the same name, not just have a single "Will Smith" entry in the metadata/people directory.

    Can I fix this within my Jellyfin server somehow?
