Hello,

I am looking for a way to retrieve the most popular movies starring an actor, or in which a person has participated, whether as crew or cast member. My goal is to provide a short list (of say, 5 items) of the most popular movies a person is known for.

I first tried to retrieve all the movies in which a person was involved, via /person/{id}/movie_credits, and then sort them by popularity, but to my surprise, the popularity property is not available using this method, contrary to /search/movie for example. Do I have to get all these movies, and then make subsequent requests via /movie/{id} to retrieve each movie's popularity, and then eventually sort my list of movies by popularity ?

Am I missing something ?

Thank you very much for your help !
