I love that at present, we can click on an actor or director and view all of the work that we’ve watched of theirs. I’d love to see some sort of tab/page where we could see a full list of actors/directors we have watched, and maybe be able to rank them by how much of their work we have seen. Think the ‘up next to watch’ page, except it’s filled with actors/directors.
Aside from this, and maybe more importantly IMO, would be the ability to give ratings to specific actors or directors. I started thinking about this recently after watching a couple of movies that had a specific actor in them that I really did not like. I felt that the specific actor ruined my enjoyment of the movies I was watching, and would have loved a way to mark that down on my Trakt account in some way, preferably by being able to rate the actor. Maybe not the standard 1-10 rating system that’s in place now, but maybe some sort of system where we could like or dislike an actor or director (even if it’s just a private thing that isn’t publicly reflected), then maybe there could be filters to take away actors that you like or don’t like when doing a search. Or, of course, you could go with the current rating system, and we could end up having a way of determining who the Trakt community believe to be the best/must watch directors and actors.
Perhaps an idea would be to implement something like this thread suggested: Directors average score - #2 by joachimdanielsen
Instead of rating an actor or director directly, an average of all of their movies could contribute to their overall rating that is displayed on the site.
