Search for all episodes an actor/actress is in

So I am using the person_code to get all the shows they have been in. Now I am trying to figure out a way to get all the episode IDs they were in. Example. Kelly Cuoco id 53862 was in 22 episodes of Charmed id 1981. I want a list of the Charmed episodes she was in. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for the help.

Hi @ocardian,
There is no way to do this at an episode level. I don't recall anyone else asking for this so I went ahead and created a new ticket to think about here.
Cheers.

Thanks. The way I thought of doing it was to call each episode and check for actor/actress but that seems like it would be too many calls to the api. I was trying to create a list for what episode/episodes an Actor/Actress was on a talk show. Again thanks for considering it.

Just replying to also show interest in this feature.
When showing the combined credits of a person, you sometimes see a show where you didn't expect them to be in. I'd like to select the show, and then see which episodes they were in (or which ones they wrote or directed).
