Explanation

This PostgreSQL query selects the first and last names of actors who have only appeared in movies but not in TV shows. It does this by joining two tables, actor_movie and actor_tv, on their actor_id columns. The LEFT JOIN keyword is used to include all rows from the actor_movie table and only matching rows from the actor_tv table. The WHERE clause filters out any rows where the actor_id in the actor_tv table is null, indicating that the actor has not appeared in any TV shows.
