Actor identification and localization in movies and TV series seasons can enable deeper engagement with the content. Manual actor identification and tagging at every time-instance in a video is error prone as it is a highly repetitive, decision intensive and time-consuming task. The goal of this paper is to accurately label as many faces as possible in the video with actor names.
