Slight visual improvements

1) On the actor's page, when the person's details are unknown, instead of "Birthday: unknown" etc. just hide those fields. Like the death date is hidden now. When there's no details set, in the Person Info box could be a prompt to add missing info.

2) Add one more field, something like "Working in" or "Lives in". There are many actors, who were born in one country, but grown up, live and work in another. E.g. the Tanzania-born actress, who lived her whole life since early childhood in US is an American actress, not Tanzanian.

That 2nd point I have told them repeatedly, but the first point is a nice addition too

I had one like that tonight. The actress was born in Sri Lanka but moved to Canada and works there.

She was listed as Canada for her place of birth.

Just a few random examples:
https://www.tvmaze.com/people/9984/peter-mensah – Born in Ghana, grew up in England, living in Canada, working on both Canadian and American shows.
https://www.tvmaze.com/people/297/roger-r-cross – Born on Jamaica, living in Canada since age 11.
https://www.tvmaze.com/people/10453/rachel-luttrell – Born in Tanzania, living in Canada since age 5.

All 3 are considered Canadian actors everywhere except TVmaze.

I think this issue is more common to arise in Europe as PoB is listed in pretty much every government document you can have rather than the actual place he is living in, but I do think an option like I've previously told them too to be able to list the current place of living too and I like to increase the PoB too to be able to say that he was born in Mogadishu, Somalia for example, not just the country :)

Can't say about whole Europe, but here in Ukraine we have a PoB only in domestic passport. Any other official documents are referring to the place of living or citizenship.

I'm not suggesting to get rid of the PoB, just add the information which is more relevant for our main topic – which country is the person professionally belongs to.

I'm just suggesting to expand it for both and allow us to add the actual place of birth to it too (city, country)

Yeah, that would be nice too.

While I'm not opposed to adding cities to place of birth (sorry, I see POB and think Patrick O'Brian!), what does that do for adding information to the site. As an example, I know of several actors where the birth *year* is known but not month or day, we can't add just a birth year. If we allow for the addition of cities to birth place, will it be an issue if that's an unknown value?

I do like the Currently Living/Working country though that would be an interesting addition.

Being allowed to add year when we don't have a exact date would be really helpful
