Would it maybe be a workaround by scraping them as actors so they are added to the library and then retrieve them through the plug-in?

Not in Gotham, no.
I would suggest that if we do want to get something like that in, it would make sense to do it via a separate method, rather than trying to co-opt the setInfo() function into taking more and more types.
i.e. a setCast() routine that takes in a list of dictionaries maybe?

Is it available now ?
Would be sweet
or is there some workaround with this one? like storing data in some file and feeding it to some kind of JSON then parsed by Kodi ? almost 4 years have passed!?
Or adding actors to kodi database then adding them to movie so it will fetch info from database?

Just an idea...
What if you look at it from another way...
Create (or add to the existing) an .nfo file with the actor thumbs and names (you could do this from your addon). Then rescrape the movie.
ie an example from a random movie:
<actor>
<name>Chloë Grace Moretz</name>
<role>Cassie Sullivan</role>

</actor>
I consider this not a "nice"™ solution, but I suppose you can this way get the needed info in the Kodi library.
Add-on :
Bluray iso utils Rewrite of BR_iso_enhancements
Add-on :
BR_iso_Enhancements Give theatrical & directors cut from the same bluray iso each their own library entry, use bluray iso's of tv shows as if they are already ripped.

No, no, create the movie.info file in the movie dir. Do you use the Kodi scraper? you need to create an .nfo file, use ember media manager for instance for this. Or export your Kodi library (setting/library/export video library/seperate). You will then have an .nfo file in each of your movie dirs and can adjust these to eventually import your thumbnailes...
You have to be carefull to not overwrite settings that are there, but after scraping (of the movie/tv show) you will have this informatin in the Kodi library.

The movie dir depends of what each user select isn't it? but I when updates library "updates" every folder added to movies. In my previous test I added the "userdata" to videos as folder but it doesn' work
