A feed actor is these four fields.

Fields #

Field	Type	Notes
`name`	string	Deliberately not a Profile: the feed carries no urn, no member id and no badges for an author, so returning a Profile here would mean eleven empty fields and an invitation to key on one of them.
`url`	string
`headline`	string
`avatar_url`	string

Absent is not null: a field we did not get is omitted rather than sent as an empty string, so you can tell "LinkedIn does not have this" from "this person left it blank".
