its caused because Listal currently only index the main list of actors, according to IMDB database. So for movies whose cast list is sorted alphabetically, or by order of appearance, currently only top names would appear, and if the actor is not on main cast list on IMDB, they won't appear at all in our database. I've requested this be fixed a long time ago. Best is to have Tom address this (he's the site's developer). He mentioned its a priority fix but no word on when it will be corrected.

Thank you very much for replying. That explains a lot. I was just wondering if it were that way for a reason, or if a few people were just missing. I understand where it would take a long time to develop full movie casts.

Tom has promised us a full-cast list. Just waiting patiently for him to code it up :)

any comments on the progress, Tom? It would be nice to see 'full cast list' by say, clicking 'More' under current cast list.

Great to hear that this problem will be fixed!
Sometimes I really miss some main actor.
For example:
"K-19" without Harrison Ford
"The Matrix Reloaded" & "The Matrix Revolutions" without Carrie-Anne Moss
"Ghost Rider" without Eva Mendes
...and so on

I'll keep bugging Tom for this 'fix' :)

I know its an oft-requested feature, but not sure whats involved in its coding.

I can imagine that some cast lists would get quite massive.

Well... that's true!
A solution could be a tool which compares the full cast
lists of imdb with a predefined list of the most known
actors to pick them out and load them into the listal database.

Now updated to have full cast lists, roles and writers !

www.listal.com/movie/the-shawshank-redemption

Plus a a main cast page since only the top 16 are displayed.

It will take a while to affect all of the films.

awesome! I also love the new 'written by' and 'screenplay by', with links to author pages.

Tom, maybe its time to send a mass-email to all registered accounts, explaining a few big changes in past few months? namely merging of games and handling of special editions, full cast list, links to writers of movie scripts, moderated groups, completely re-vamped custom lists, links to lists in item pages, movie and game trailers, and improved searching (by platform, by actor, director, etc) and coming soon, merging of dvds, books, and music. I'm sure there are thousands that may have tried the site, and some things bugged them and they just stopped showing up. By annoucing all improvements, we may get dormant accounts to come back to the site.

This is great, it's one of the more interesting aspects of the site for me, I'm glad that actors are going to be credited for all of their film roles, it should be much more reflective of my viewing tastes now!

Speaking of Actors, on the My Actors Section is it possible we could rank them by rating? )Scroll down bar) Or any other facet about them? I'm sick of seeing the guys that just pop up in loads of films that I have seen. I'd rather My Actors were my Top rated.

I like the "My Actors" section, actually. It's interesting to see whose movies you own or have seen the most of. But a Top Rated Actors section would also be nice.

Is this being done for DVDs as well? Where the actors will show a full list from IMDB for DVDs?
