My suggestion is maybe we can have something like checkboxes. For example, if you have ever used Youtube playlists, when you add a video to a playlist, there is something like this:
It is easy to see which lists you've added the video to, remove it easily, etc.
Removing a title/actor from a custom list is harder than adding it. We have to go to Custom Lists > choose the list > edit > delete > save. (not voting lists).
Unlike removing titles from the Watchlist. We can see if the title is in our watch list from the pencil item instead of the '+' and simply delete it on the spot.
But to check if the title/actor is in a custom list, move it to another list, or remove it from a list is a bit tedious.
