Anywhere you see this icon:

That's a tooltip, you can press them to get more information.
```yaml
libraries:
Movies:
collection_files:
- pmm: actor
template_variables:
data:
depth: 10 #(1)!
limit: 20 #(2)!
style: diiivoycolor #(3)!
sort_by: title.asc
use_separator: false #(4)!
tmdb_person_offset_Richard Brooks: 1 #(5)!
```
1. Check the first 10 casting credits in each movie
2. Create 20 collections maximum
3. use the [diiivoy Color Style](#diiivoy-color-style)
4. Do not create an "Actors Collections" separator
5. There are two Richard Brooks, so use the 2nd [Richard Brooks](https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=Richard%20Brooks) found on TMDb
