You can use GET /person/popular to get the list of popular people. This list gets updated daily.

Hey there, is it still possible to get list of popular people? i tried on the web and it gave a 500 response. { "status_code": 11, "status_message": "Internal error: Something went wrong, contact TMDb.", "success": false }
