Description

If different actors have the same name, only the last one found during scraping will be used. This means that all movies with that name will show the same actor — even older ones that were already scraped before.

Example:
Total Recall 2012
Artist: Colin Farrell, 1976
Caprona - Das vergessene Land (1974)
Artist: Colin Farrell, 1938

This results in wrong links to actors for the movies.

Research direction

Start by tracing the scraping path that matches artists by name and associates them with movies. Reproduce the Colin Farrell example, then verify that same-name artists remain distinct and that previously scraped movies retain the correct actor links.
