Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for providing extrinsic data relevant to a video content feature. In one embodiment, where a single cast member performs as multiple characters in the video content feature, the extrinsic data may include character images for each character played by the cast member. 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.
