How-to guides: name who’s on screen

CelebSpotter is tip-of-the-tongue face identification for people you’ve seen on a show, movie, or commercial but can’t name. These guides explain practical ways to get from a paused face to a name — including when Google, IMDb, Lens, or reverse image search is the better first move.

They are not cast-list encyclopedias and not selfie lookalike tips. Each guide is written for the sofa moment: you recognise the face, the name won’t come, and you only have what’s on screen.

What CelebSpotter is for

• Naming who’s on screen from a screenshot or phone photo of the TV.
• Commercial and trailer faces when keyword search has nothing useful to grab.
• Honest comparisons with Lens and reverse image search — use the right tool for the clue you have.
• Tip-of-the-tongue moments when you can’t remember the name at all.
