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.
