How do I manually add actor information in Jellyfin? 

I have a offline jellyfin server and want to keep it that way. I have successfully added the images like posters and banners and .nfo files to all of my media collection and even took the steps to add the actors photos to the correct location and have them working excellent. However I am looking for the information explaining how to add the information for the actors. (when you click the actor's image and it loads the bio along with born date and birth place.)

If someone could please explain to me how I can manually add the info for all the actors /people that would be very much appreciated.

Also a special thank you to deltonio2 and nosebeggar for all the work they have done for the offline jellyfin servers.

EDIT: Disregard. You can also edit actors one actor at a time. Not sure where their data is held for easier editing.

Still leaving the below, even though I misread your post somehow.
You can manually add actors (People) one video at a time through the web http://localhost:8096/web/index.html#/metadata or whatever your server's URL is if you need to replace localhost, by selecting the video or media, and editing through the GUI screen or manually edit the nfo files. Below are four actors added to an episode of Two and a Half Men's NFO file I recorded OTA.

Thank you for your information but this is not what I am talking about at all.
I am not talking about the .nfo for the movie like you explained above.

What I am talking about is when you go to a move and the movie's .nfo file has a cast and crew. (the actors/people in the movie)
When you click on the image of a actor/person and it takes you to the Bio of that actor/person... how do I add/edit that information?
(pics attached)

On the Actor page, click on the context menu (three vertical dots) next to the heart icon and select Edit metadata.

Thanks again for your help but again this is not what I am asking for.
This may be my first day to post a question on this forum but please keep in mind this is not my first day using jellyfin.

I like many who use jellyfin have way to many actors/person's to edit them like you said above one at a time.

What I want to know is not how to edit them one at a time but instead add the metadata for all my actors at the same time as adding all of my media content.

We all know how to add the movie, and if you look into it some more you can read up on how to add a .nfo, and poster.jpg, and a banner.jpg etc..
Now when you add the .nfo file and other files to the folder jellyfin will find that and use it to populate your move along with the poster and banner.
Even tho it is not well known you can also add the actor images all at once for all of your movies and other media ( I will not go into detail here)

What I want to know and trying to ask but can't seem to get across is when you have a offline jellyfin server and you have added your movies and the metadata for the movies even the hard to get working actors and their images..... how do you add the bio's for all of the actors/people? 

Is their a way to add a person.nfo with the persons bio to the same folder as the actors image?
(if you look at the images I posted above you can see what I am talking about "bio's" it has the actors real name and date of birth and all that.... How can I add all of that metadata when setting up my jellyfin server?) 

Please if anyone knows how this can be done please share with us all.



Thanks in advance.

Sorry I couldn't help

What you're looking for is a feature that has not been implemented in Jellyfin:

Yup, your right.

however...

Has anyone been able to find out a way to do it?
What about any information on where the actor bio is stored?
(I looked in the jellyfin.db and the library.db but was unable to locate anything that looked like it was linked to the actors bio)

[theguymadmax]

In your library.db you'll find the info stored in the TypeBaseItems.

I looked and looked and did not find it there. Could you perhaps define your location?
I have the library.db open and have found the TypeBaseItems. Could you tell me what column the Actors Bio is under?
