Famous actors in music videos: Who's who?

Does anyone know if there’s an IMDb-style site specifically for music videos? I was watching "Janie's Got a Gun" by Aerosmith earlier and started wondering who played the inspector. It made me want to dig into the cast lists for other videos and see who the directors are behind them. For "Janie's Got a Gun," I already know David Seven Fincher directed it, but is there a go-to database for all the other music video credits?

Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice [dir: Christopher Walken, dir: Spike Jonze]
MADONNA - Power of Goodbye (?) [feat: Goran Višnjić]
AEROSMITH - Crazy [feat: Liv Tyler, Alicia Silverstone]
TOM PETTY - Into the Great Wide Open [feat: Johnny Depp]
TOM PETTY - Mary Jane's Last Dance [feat: Kim Basinger]

Thanks for the links and everything else. I haven't stumbled onto exactly what I'm looking for yet, but it's clear that "music video cinematography" is still an underrated field—even when the work feels like a legitimate miniature film. Honestly, I’d much rather watch a music video that feels like a movie than a movie that feels like a music video.

Nah, that's definitely not him... I mean, he looks super familiar, like some other celebrity, but it's clearly not Mehcad Brooks... anyone else have a clue who this actually is?
🙂

He is...😉
