In another embodiment, where multiple generic images of a cast member are available, a particular generic image is selected to be included in the extrinsic data according to a measure of relevancy of the generic image to the video content feature. In another embodiment, when a generic image of a cast member is unavailable, an image of the cast member in character is included in the extrinsic data.
