When you make the API Request using search with a person's name
in the response are the first 3 movies of that know_for category that are on the person's page.

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/person?api_key=THE_KEY&language=en-US&query=Pedro+Pascal

The selection of films in know_for I believe is based on popularity, votes and some other criteria of the films.
Then it is possible to make a Discover API Request, sorting by popularity
and using the person ID in the with_cast, with_crew or with_people filters.
The answer is not exactly the same but it is similar to know_for.
Example with actor Pedro Pascal, ID 1253360, using with_cast.

In addition there are plans to add this feature.
It's already on Trello's To-Do list.
There is no implementation deadline.
You can vote. More votes, faster. :-)
