There's already a pretty old issue about this. Nothing we can really do. A lot of providers only use strings for actors

Oh, I didn't find the old issue.

If a provider does provide an ID (like IMDB and TMDB do) the metadata could be stored in the form of
Person/T/Tom Holland [TMDB-64796]
Person/T/Tom Holland [TMDB-1136406]
