Actors¶

thetvdb_api.api.get_actors(series)

Get all the actors of the series.

Parameters:	series – the series created with `set_series()`
Returns:	a dictionary of all the actors of the series provided by theTVDB.com.
Return type:	dict
Raises:	`thetvdb_api.theTVDBError` if something went wrong

The get_actors() function returns a dictionary with one sub-dictionary for each actor of the series. These sub-dictionaries have the following keys:

Image: The location of the artwork.
Name: The actors real name.
Role: The name of the actors character in the series.
SortOrder: An integer from 0-3. 1 being the most important actor on the show and 3 being the third most important actor. 0 means they have no special sort order. Duplicates of 1-3 aren’t suppose to be allowed but currently are so the field isn’t perfect but can still be used for basic sorting.
