Hello, i have see that in the API is possible to get all job list, and i see that there is a Department call Actors that have this type of job: Actor Stund Double Voice Cameo Special Guest
but if i request the Credits for a movie i have found the key "cast" and no the key Actors, and in Department there is no key for Cast, so how works?
thanks

Hi Piero87,
On the API, everything is split into 2 categories "cast" and "crew". All acting credits are in the cast array, everything else should be in the crew array. Truthfully, I don't know if our database has anything other than an "actor" credit added to a movie since I believe this is even limited on the interface to add the data.
I'll have to change a few things to support other "acting" credits, although it's likely those jobs will get renamed to be something in the crew side. Not sure just yet.
