Hi, This has probably been asked before but I can't seem to find a thread discussing it... Is it possible (in some way or another) to get the imdb id (not tmdb id) for a person (actor/actress/...)? For example, for Uma Thurman this would be "nm0000235". I know that the reverse is possible: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/find/nm0000235?api_key=####&external_source=imdb_id but can't seem to find a way to turn this around...
Would be great if anyone has a suggestion for finding the imdb id's (through some other way/api/site). I have a bunch of people for which I need the id's and manually looking up the id's would be very time-consuming.
Thanks a million

external_ids
