The issue here is that Jellyfin only has a single set of actors for the whole server.
When it comes to something like this, you would need to decide if the actors should be based on the real-life actor, voice actor, or the cartoon/anime character.
If we go by cartoon characters, the cartoon character will be shown in all entries that the voice actor has a role in, which wouldn't make sense in non-cartoon stuff. Furthermore, a single voice actor can voice multiple cartoon characters.
Simply put, the current design for actors in Jellyfin is based for live-action content with real-life actors and voice actors.
