Back in EMM7 there used to be the actor age in parenthese in the MovieCard to show the age of the actor at the time he made the movie. Can we have this back?
In XMM7 I couldn't find the actor age shown in the mother of all movie cards (movie_bigcover). I thought what we see there is the role the actor played.
But if you happen to mean the actor card ... the age gets shown in XMM8 too (if it's known, that is).
Yes, it's shown only on the actor's card under Movies in Database.
Yes, I have found so far only one actor whose Movies in Database show the age. I don't understand why the others don't show it ( so there is a bug and I have posted a bug report ). But what I wish is to have it also appears in the MovieCard. It would be nice to see the age of Spencer Tracy & Katharine Hepburn when they played the movie without calculating in my head. Thanks ahead.

I see. And yes, that info is not readily available yet. Ale would have to provide it as a _MOVIE_ACTORS_AGEWHILEFILMING_ value for the card. I'm afraid this will not happen too soon since even on the actor card it's done by javascript and not provided by XMM directly.
It might be possible to implement with _MOVIE_ACTRORS_BIRTHDATE_ and using that above mentioned function from actors.js ... but I don't know if this value already exists (but it would be easier to provide it).
