Usage Note

Cast is an invariable anglicism fully absorbed into Italian entertainment journalism: il cast, il cast del film — the plural stays i cast (no -s). It refers to the ensemble of actors. In formal Italian troupe or complesso di attori can substitute, but cast is by far the most common term in everyday speech and writing.

Examples

"Il cast del film comprende attori di fama internazionale."
