This could either be a standalone website or a function of a digital AI-type assistant. You'd link all your streaming service accounts (ie, Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, etc) and the earliest date you've used each of them to the best of your memory, and if you see an actor somewhere on TV or whatever,
you can snap a picture and it'll use your account's watch history first to suggest something it KNOWS you've seen that person in. Results would be something like "This picture is of Jason Bateman in the show Ozark. You probably recognize him from Identity Thief, which you watched on Netflix 2 years ago on your home computer."
This worked pretty well

In the last chapter of this season's Israeli series Manayek they just killed Barak Harel, the corrupt chief of the Tel Aviv police, and then there's a promo advertisement for a new series Lovesick, where a woman asks: Where did I see you recently?! |

See, for that I don't know quite how it would work *without* AI, unless there actually is a database somewhere of uncredited film roles. With AI and facial recognition it could work pretty easily. |

That would've been great! Did it have an image search so you could upload a picture of an actor you wanted to identify? |
|
|
I've tried that, actually. Google's image search has... mixed results. |

I just tried Google Lens with a very clear, frontal face shot of Titus Welliver in Bosch, and it thought the picture was of some guy named Nigel Baker. Image Search showed someone else, who probably would have gotten pulled over by a cop because he "fit the description" but was clearly not the same middle aged grey haired white male. |

Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini both say they can't help with images of people. |

Looks like AI is racist in an egalitarian way, across all of humanity; a Universal Racist. Interesting. |

You've never really ever seen 'that actor' before. They've all been an immortal Nicolas Cage playing every male roll since he developed moving pictures and concocted that Edison conspiracy theory. |
