For IMDB that's not possible. Does not provide such details.

Only would be possible for TMDB and you would need to use URLs like this:
Code:
https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1356210


However TMDB sometimes does not have some movie details at all.

But even then it would a lot of work to do. Is it really needed? I don't think people would ever click on those links to go to TMDB. They only want to download.

You should already have IMDB link in your post and actors names (that's supported). They can go there to check more details if they really want.

currently does tc grab actor name from imdb? if movie is missing from tmdb it's most likely very unpopular movie, guess.


no i mean something different. lets say my site name is

https://www.scnsrc.me/

if i use something like this and people click for search. he will find all the movie post which Alexander Dreymon cast
Code:
[url=https://scnsrc.me/?s=uniqueID]Alexander Dreymon[/url]

Actors names are from IMDB if you don't have option enabled to prefer TMDB information.

However IMDB API only has actors names (not IDs). It's not possible to get IMDB person ID as in your example.
