Is it an issue with me that I cannot remember names of characters from movies I watched?

I watched lots of movies, but whenever my friends talk about this or that character, I cannot remember them and as a result I cannot remember the movie either. They need to explain the movie a bit, so I can remember what that was about, but no chance with characters. If there is a series airing, I know it and the characters, but in a year or so, I have no idea about the names of the characters.
It feels strange. I don't have an issue with memory. I actually have exceptional memory when it comes to details regarding conversations or things that happened and the day, clothes people were wearing, weather.

I can't remember what was on my test 3 days ago,
especially if people ask me
Or the names of most places I visited, just remember the countries.

Doesn't mean there's something wrong, you just don't work by memory. You probably work more by logic and don't need to retain useless little details. And it's not gonna kill you, not to remember.

It's not really an issue especially if you watched a lot of movies and some of them are not your favorite. I am like that too, I can't remember names of characters at first and it just came back when I heard some of its stories along the way.. :)

Maybe you just don't commit it to memory because it just isn't that relevant at the time. I can always remember other movies that a character played in and their roll even if I can't remember their actual name
