Getting person imdb_id when adding append_to_response=external_ids,credits to /movie/movie_id endpoint?

Hi, Is there a way for each person on the credits for a movie to have the imdb_id field?
This is what I'm calling:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/999?append_to_response=external_ids,credits&api_key=xxx
I know I can call the /person/person_id endpoint, but I just need that ONE extra fields and really would love to not have to make another API call.

Hi @Wonderm00n,
Unfortunately, there is no way to get the extra field you're looking for without making an extra call.
