Question 1) Have you enabled Settings -> Video -> Library -> "Download actor thumbnails when adding to library" in the Kodi settings?

Yes these are enabled in the Settings. I have added the Universal Movie Scraper to my Movie Information. After pressing the info button I can see the names of the actors but their photos are still not visible. All I see are the names of the actors with images of a white mask. The photos only become visible when the extended info scrip is opened.

Question 2) How do you want me to display the list of movies you have selected? There is a difference between the Kodi application, Skins, and scripts or addons.

I am a novice in this area but here goes. At the present time while viewing detailed info about the actor in the extended info script, I add one of his movies to a folder titled say 'Movies to Watch'. This is then visible when I open the script in the Program Addons. Maybe the widget could be structured in the skin, say like 'Watch Later' as given in Youtube also. The display could be like:

Name of Movie (with thumbnail)
Genre

If I click on the movie it would open the extended info script (showing plot and cast info) as is currently.

Thereafter I would need to open an addon to see the movie.
