Hmm, it's a tricky one.

IMDB appear to use roman numerals in brackets after the name to differentiate different people with the same name.

Screened did a similar thing but approached it from a different angle by having the system attach a unique number string to each Kevin Smith for example.

So, the best I can think of for Actors, Directors and Crew, is that we assign a number in brackets after the name. e.g. Kevin Smith the Director's page name could be "Kevin Smith (1)". Kevin Smith the Xena Actor's page name could be "Kevin Smith (2)".

I think character names are an easier one to deal with. We could name the page thusly:- "Gabrielle (Xena: Warrior Princess)", "Captain James T. Kirk (Star Trek)" and so on. I'm not sure but I think Takashichea mentioned something to this effect recently.
