Increased Actors Per Film

Post by garethm »

I think this is a topic needing a revolution.

I know there has to be a limit and its difficult to settle on a number but 12 per film is so inhibiting.

There are regularly top actors who are missing and there is simply no room to add them, I feel 20 would be more appropriate but at least 15 in most cases.

Who supports this idea ??

I have been requesting this forever. All falls on deaf ears.

Which films have more than 12 actors? Are they all lead roles?

Most Indian films do. Not everyone is a hero or a heroine, but they all have important roles.

Ok, fair enough.

I don't think that's the only thing to consider. A lot of times actors get mentioned for smaller roles. This would help even things out across the board.

The Grand Budapest Hotel has a cast of at least 18 noteworthy names. That's just at first glance. So I would say more than 12 actors is needed.

This is only tangentially similar, but it would be nice if the actors in a film were ordered by billing.

Here is a bump for a request for increased actors. I've been requesting this for 6 years now.

You don't have to display all names at once if you are concerned about aesthetics. You could put like a [More...] link next to the current list of 12 and then display more names only if the user clicks on the [More...] link.

It's frustrating that we are not able to maintain a complete filmography of all actors because they often have to be dropped to keep the number down to 12.
