A Raspberry Pi is quite a versatile tool with the right OS. Connecting drives to USB is one option. The default RPi OS can be set up as any file server type (SMB, NFS, FTP, etc). You just need to get the configuration right. There are also freeware 'ready-to-go' NAS solutions for the RPi. Use a separate SDcard and try them out.

Having several drives on multiple external USB devices does have its own set of challenges. Having all data in one place (=PC or NAS) makes it less complicated in my view. I still use two old AMD-based PCs as a servers because their motherboards can connect upto 8 SATA drives. One is active, other is backup server. They boot&run Linux via a USB3 stick.

You could also choose to copy some of your media files onto a single HDD drive, and use that as your only connected drive for viewing stuff in Kodi.

Checking to see if you were able to get the actor information to appear by enabling the native mode options in the Mezzmo Kodi addon ?
