We have a central artist_info and I think it would be smart to do the same thing for actors in movies and tv shows. Here's why:

1. Speed up info dialogues

The overwhelming majority of entries in the "art" table of the "myvideos" db are links to actor thumbs on websites. Every time the info dialogue of a movie, tv show or episode is opened, these thumbs have to be downloaded remotely. They are probably cached for each Kodi installation but it would be better performancewise to have them downloaded locally once, especially when dealing with MySQL installations that serve serveral KODI instances.

2. Save space

I'm not sure what happens when actor thumbs are exported via the media dialogue. Even if the thumbs paths are rewritten to be local, there will be lots of duplicates written for each actor. Using a centralized directory for actor thumbs would avoid that.

Maybe the existing patch for the central artist directory could be used with just a few modifications?
