Pages with retrieving movie credits

When I do a query for movies credits by a person, the results are not returned with pages like most other queries. If possible it would be great to return pages like most other queries.

Hi Ken,
Everything is returned in the
/person/:id/movie_creditsmethod. There is no need for pagination. Is there a particular reason you're looking for these to be paginated?Cheers.

Most of the time it is fine, just a few actors return a bunch of results like Tom Hanks for example returns 83 movie credits. The reason i ask is I have a bunch of code that takes collections of movies and displays them to the user in pages of 20 which is what most of your queries return. I can re-use my existing for this. What I have done now is just show them the first page of results.
I can write my own paging routine if needed.
FYI I am about 95% done with the movies part of the XBMC addon. I am thinking of releasing version 1.0 with just movie support and add in TV and People in later verisons.
Thanks!
Ken

Ya, it's probably easiest for you to just grab the first 20 items from the array and page through them that way.
Great!

Ok I guess I was just trying to be lazy! ;)
