WhatsHisFace is a plugin for Chrome that identifies actors on Netflix. It uses face recognition to display the names of the actors on the screen. All by just pressing CTR + Shift + E

This is really cool! imo it needs to integrate with imdb so it can show me the other movies that person is in. I'm always saying "what other film has that person been in?". And nowadays searching for the film on imdb, then scrolling to find the actor, then browsing through the actor's other films is just too much work 🙃

@marsh931 @armd_didier You'll be better off with TMDb, they have an official open API.

Does it only run the recognition algorithms when you click it or is it running continuously in the background?

@shimmb it only runs when you click or press the shortcut ;)

Damn. about 4 years ago I got a screenshot sent to me of someone on Netflix like the above, but nobody could figure out who it was. Can you send me back four years with this app so I can finally find out?!

On the one hand, I needed this growing up, watching movies with my parents. On the other hand, you'd have robbed me of so many mid-movie family debates

@cenk No it works with both genders :) But keep in mind that the face recognition works best from the front and not so much with the face in profile

@armd_didier The reason I’m asking is that it’s called "WhatsHisFace". Why not call it "WhatsHerFace"?

@cenk would you have then asked the opposite question? :) It's a complete arbitrary choice ;)

@armd_didier Why not call it "WhatsTheirFace" then? Or even "WhosFaceIsThat"? or "WhoIsThat"? There are so many different options I can come up with that would have avoided having to gender the name.

@cenk because "whatshisface" or "whatsherface" is a common expression, and the important thing is not to not gender the name, but not gender the service, which we are not ;)
