How can i conditionally load taxonomy-{taxonomy}.php template files through functions.php

I have a movie review site, i would like to conditionally load the taxonomies of actors and directors only if a option of my theme is active. At the moment in the root theme folder I have these 2 files

taxonomy-actors.php
taxonomy-directors-php
I would like them to be used only if the function is active for example

if ($theme_comments == 1)
{
//load taxonomy-actors.php
} else {
//don't load taxonomy-actors.php
}

Find the solution :)

Code:
if ($moviewp_comments == 1) {

add_filter( 'template_include', 'wpse_template_include' );
function wpse_template_include( $template ) {
// Handle taxonomy templates.
$taxonomy = get_query_var( 'taxonomy' );
if ( is_tax() && $taxonomy ) {
$file = get_theme_file_path() . '/templates/taxonomy-' . $taxonomy . '.php';
if ( file_exists( $file ) ) {
$template = $file;
}

}

return $template;
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

}
} else {

}
