Identify a Movie by Actor
Name the actor — or just describe them — add whatever you remember about the scene, and get the specific title rather than a filmography you have to scroll through.
Paraphrases and translations work — we match the meaning, not just the words.
Type a line of dialogue to begin
Upload one or more screenshots from a movie, TV series, anime, or drama and our AI will identify it within seconds.
You don't need the actor's name
"The tall British actor who played the villain in that submarine film" is a perfectly usable query. Physical description, accent, a role you do remember, or a co-star can all substitute for a name.
Narrowing a long filmography
Prolific actors appear in dozens of titles, so the name alone is rarely enough. Add one scene detail, an approximate decade, or the genre and the candidate list usually collapses to a single film. If you have a screenshot instead, the screenshot tool will identify the frame directly.
Full context on the answer
Each result gives the title and year, the character the actor played, the rest of the principal cast, ratings from IMDb, TMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, the trailer and where the title is legally streaming.
Frequently asked questions
Can AI recognise actors from a photo?
+
The screenshot tool reasons about who is likely in a frame based on features, era and context, but treat any name it gives as a strong hypothesis rather than a biometric match.
What if two actors look alike?
+
The result will list both possibilities with the films that fit each, so you can pick the one that matches your memory.
