Is there a way to check which films were removed from an actor's filmography recently?

Like in the title. I'm trying to find which film (that was there just a few days ago for sure) was removed from one actor's list of credits, and double-checking using another database is too sluggish for me, so I wanted to know if there's an easier way.

Hi @gid4,
Unfortunately, no, I don't think so. Since credit changes happen on the media (not the person) there's no change history for that data on a person record.

Not sure what is too much trouble for you, but you might try this site:
https://web.archive.org/web/20230000000000*/https://www.themoviedb.org/
Find your actors relative path name on the live site, then pick a date on the wayback machine and append the relative path name to the root. It will return the most recent copy of the actor page it has. The more obscure the actor likely the older the copy. Then you can do a side by side comparison of two pages formatted exactly the same. This may or may not work very well but might be worth a shot.
