Issue: Confusing date on "Person" page in "Acting" section

Look at this page: https://www.themoviedb.org/person/1093132-thomas-k-gel
This actor was a guest star in some very recent (2013) episodes of the series "Tatort". This series is a long runner (it started in 1970). Now you can see his credits in the "Acting" list and all entries regarding "Tatort" are dated 1970. Probably this guy was still not born in 1970.
In this list, the year from TV episodes should be the exact year of first airing (in case the rule includes only one episode) or the earliest year of the episodes (in case the role includes more episodes)

This was asked about here as well: https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/5374a7bec3a3681518002934
It may be possible but would require some serious re-factoring. It won't be something I have time to look at for a while, right now we just look at the series release date.
