I recognize that the scraper only imports the 'above the line'* cast from IMDB ... enough is (normally) enough! Sometimes though, a movie's stars end up below the line, and are not scraped into our library. Case in point, Jessica Chastain is listed as a star in Interstellar, but her cast entry is below the line, so she doesn't appear in my library.
What I would propose, is that when scraping, both the Stars field and the Cast field are scraped, then those fields are merged, and that merged list is imported into Kodi. Sounds simple enough, and would certainly increase usability, for those of us that use the cast field.
* By above the line, I refer to those cast members who are displayed on IMDB without having to click on 'See full cast'.
