Characters' gallery on actor's page

Hello

I think it will be great to add a section to the actor gallery with all pictures set for the characters they played. Maybe just the main one for each role, if too many information.

What do you think ?

That is not a bad idea, we would just need to find a fitting place for it.

I've suggested to David in the past that at the very least there might be a link to the character images/galleries of the various characters that the actor has played. So the character images themselves wouldn't need to appear on the actor's page, but just links to those character images.

The interlinking of pages would seem to help the site's SEO. Rather than just duplicating the character images on the actor pages, provide users with links to go to the character pages.

This already exist. The links for the characters are on the actor page.

What I meant was the actual images

But there's no indicator that the characters have actual images. That's what I suggested should be present. If, for instance, I want to see what William Shatner looked like in Barbary Coast, i have to waste time clicking on the show link or an episode link or the character link (from the William Shatner page), just to find out there is no image there.

So if I want to see Shatner at different ages/various stages of his career, I have to go to each individual link and see if there's an image there. A collection of links labeled "w/image" or even an asterisk with a notation below, would save such a researcher a whole lot of time. For instance, Shatner has a character image for Psych but not for The Practice or either of his two Twilight Zone appearances. Some kind of indicator would save me having to check each link.

And those links are to the character pages, not the character images/galleries of the characters. Granted, the character pages show the main image of the character, in "miniaturized" format. But a link to the character image gallery would reveal all of the images present (if there are multiples), and avoid a click if you want to see a larger-sized picture of the character.

Also, having links for character images of an actor on the actor's page helps if all there are, are character images of the actor.
