Use characters portraits instead of actor headshots in "In This Episode"

On episode pages, the “In This Episode” section currently displays photos of the actors or voice actors. This works well for live-action content, but it feels less relevant for animated series and anime, where viewers usually recognize the fictional characters more easily than the people voicing them. It would be great to display the character’s portrait whenever one is available, while keeping the actor or voice actor’s photo as a fallback. For example, in a generic animated series featuring a character named Alex, the section would display an image of Alex rather than a photo of the voice actor. If no character image is available, the app would simply continue displaying the voice actor’s existing profile picture. A possible fallback order could be: Episode-specific character portrait Series-level character portrait Actor or voice actor profile picture Current placeholder This would make episode pages more recognizable and visually appropriate for anime and other animated content, without affecting series for which character artwork is unavailable. I got the idea, and got it structured thanks to Codex.
