Reel. Name is an online film-character search tool that shows the filmography of characters sharing a user’s name. Visitors can enter a first name, surname, or both to find matching roles, presented in a format similar to an actor’s filmography.

The site describes its collection as containing 248,051 roles drawn from IMDb datasets, spanning 58,777 films, 40,213 first names, and 62,059 surnames. Search results pair character names with their films and release years, making it easy to explore familiar names across cinema. The website also offers a “Guess the film” feature, with a drawing prompt that invites users to identify a movie from a character illustration.

In addition to the search and guessing experiences, Reel. Name displays statistics on frequently used first names and surnames in its dataset and provides a section for data, sources, and privacy information. The service is focused on discovering and browsing on-screen character names rather than providing conventional actor profiles or film reviews
