Used my tool ( see #133 ) to automatically create files for each actor
that is listed for a movie and does not have a file in the database.

NOTE: In some cases, there is not a lot of information on the actor, and
the birth date and birth place cannot be determined. In these cases,
birthplace and birthdate are listed as null.

Fixes: #130

This is extremely awesome of you to do! I will test this out and review it more closely.

I would like to figure out some unit tests for this. For instance, ensuring that pulling from wikipedia does indeed pull the birthname. You have a fallback to just use the actor's name, but it would be nice to be able to somewhat verify that the method is doing its job properly

I have tested it thoroughly today, and after fixing some bugs, I can say with certainty that it is accurate. If the person has a birthname listed on Wikipedia, it will grab it. I understand that you have to test it, just letting you know :)
