Script Summary: Shows you what roles actors have had in movies you've seen. Requires Firefox 3.5 or later. Also seems to work in Google Chrome.
Version: 1.5
The September 2010 redesign of IMDb broke this script. It may be a
while before I fix this the right way. In the meantime, if you want
to use this script, you can tell IMDb to use the old version: see
http://www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?redesignoldd...
and then install this version, which is a temporary fix that I hope will work.
If you install this version, it will notify you when an update is available.
Requires Firefox 3.5 or later. (Also seems to work in Google Chrome.)
- Keep track of movies you've seen, by clicking on [+] next to them.
These movies are highlighted wherever links to them occur on IMDb. - When looking at a cast listing, click "..." next to an actor
to see which other movies you've seen that actor in. Click
on "Where have I seen these actors?" to see this for all.
If this doesn't work, use the Userscripts.org discussion at

Notes
=====
* This script keeps track of the seen movies in its own table (an
about:config preference), not online on IMDb. It's a good idea to
backup the list occasionally: Click on "Show seen movies" in "User
script commands", hit Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, Enter/Return, and copy text.
If you know how to make it save to IMDB's "My movies" or somewhere
online, any code contributed will be appreciated.
* For each cast listing, it actually visits each actor's page to
find all his/her movies. Not only can this be slow if you're on a
slow connection, it might also be considered too much strain on
IMDb's servers. Use with discretion.
