Is there a possibility to delete any "unused" actors? In the beginning I have unfortunately worked on the example db which contained a lot of actors. After deleting the example movies the actors were still existing... So it would be great do have the opportunity to delete all unused actors or to delete all actors in db and "refill" db with actors fields from movies.

And what about a function to rebuild actors from existing movies? Wouldn't that be much faster than a complete re-import? Or would that not be good because of same name of different actors?

I also would like the actor database to be able to pull from existing movies. I have manually added non imdb movie actors to the add/edit actor fields. They show up in a search but not the actor db.
Updating Actor's information from existing Movies relates to a new function request a made a few days ago. Specifically having a "Update Actor's Only" function that would constrain the update of a Movie record to just the Actor information. The current methodology is very labor intensive and basically updates the entire Movie.

And doesn't update the Actors at all, because a normal Script can't update/change a existing Actor. If a Actor already exists the Data will be disregarded.
