Hey damesize,
Sorry, I didn't realize you we're asking about a search request. Who didn't read now?! (Me). :(
No, there isn't any way to get the cast lists from a search request. You will have to go out do a separate request.

Hi together, I need the answer for this question too. How do you get the casting list for a movie found by a search result for a film? I don't have to search through all the actors for acting in my film search save in the database, I think so.
Please give an idea how you get the casting list for a movie!
thanks

Hi @MarkusC,
You will need to query each ID, and call the /credits method. Best thing to do is use
append_to_response
. There's an example document that outlines this workflow here.
