How to bind this dictionary to grid view -

You need to set GridView DataDource to Dictionary.Values like below:

GridView1.DataSource = actors.Values;
GridView1.DataBind();

EDIT : And the markup may look like this (thanks julealgon for pointing to Movies List) :

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" AutoGenerateColumns="false" runat="server">
    <Columns>
        <asp:BoundField DataField="ActorId" HeaderText="Actor Id" />
        <asp:BoundField DataField="ActorName" HeaderText="Actor Name"  />
        <asp:BoundField DataField="BirthDate" HeaderText="Birth Date"  />
        <asp:BoundField DataField="BirthPlace" HeaderText="Birth Place"  />   
        <asp:TemplateField  HeaderText="Photo" >
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Image ID="Image1" ImageUrl='<%#Eval("Photo") %>'  runat="server" />
                </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
        <asp:TemplateField  HeaderText="Movies" >
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:ListBox ID="ListBox1" DataSource='<%#Eval("Movies") %>' runat="server"></asp:ListBox>
                </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>   
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

Here's how it is displayed:
