Here are some typical patterns for determining identity of two TV actors:

1. name_match and starring_roles_match. (Example 1)
2. name_match and guest_roles_match. (Example 2)
3. name_match and awards_match. (Example 3)

Identity features, patterns and examples for /people/person/ type are also applicable for establishing identity relationships in type /tv/tv_actor.

Pattern 1 Example 1. Permalink Here the actor names have variations in spellings between the sources and are matched using other known names. Also some of the TV programs that the actor has performed in also match. Hence the TV actors are identical.

Pattern 2 Example 2. Permalink In this example, the names of the actors match on both the sources. Also some of the guest TV appearances done by the actors match. Hence the TV actors are identical.

Pattern 3 Example 3. Permalink Here the names of the actors and the award nominations for them match on both the sides. Hence the TV actors are identical.
