The actors photos should be added to the actor page, not to the movie page.

Insert a Person in a Movie Cast or Crew

It is only possible to add a person (cast or crew)
if the movie or TV show they participated in already exists in our Database.

Go to the Movie page. Click in:
Overview - - -> Edit - - -> Cast or Crew
Click on Add a New Cast Member
Type or Paste the Person's name
A list of suggestions from People will appear.
If her profile already exists here, she must be one of the suggestions.
Click on the person's name.
If the person's profile does not exist here, click Create it...
which is the last option on the list of name options.
Add the character name
Click Save.

Add Profile (Photo)

Before adding an image read the rules in our Bible
https://www.themoviedb.org/bible/image

This operation cannot be done by Cell phone or Pad.

On the person's page click on "Media".
Then click on "Profiles".
You will see on the left side, a small "heavy_plus_sign" sign in the line of the word Images.
Click on this sign and follow the instructions.
Just drag the image from your file manager and drop it there.
Or use the Select file... button.

Only Moderators can delete images.

After adding the photo to the actor's profile, it may take some time for the photo to be available everywhere.
But if the photo was added more than 1 day ago then there must be something wrong.
Please provide the profile page link and the name of the actor who is having this issue.

Hi, I've added a few different photos as part of my "Profiles", is there a way of choosing which Photo I would like to use as the main display photo?

Images take the main image position due to user voting.
Hover your mouse over the image and thumbs up will appear.
Try voting and reloading the page.

hi always not work and sometimes how many times you thumbs up there is still the image ahead , so what to do ?

Only one vote is taken account per user. That simply mean that multiple users has vote for the other one.
