OK! I have a question for the folks who know something about movie

[CaliforniaPeggy]

casting:

Just what does "ensemble cast" mean? I've heard it so many times,

and have never been able to figure it out....

Thanks!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

1. It just means many famous people who could easily top the bill.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Thanks my dear Crazy.....

I kind of thought it had something to do with that.....but wasn't sure...

2. Love Actually, is an enemble cast

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Yes, that movie sure does have an ensemble cast......

and in fact, your discussion of it reminded me of that fact.....

Which reminded me that I didn't know the meaning of that phrase!

Hence, my thread to get the answer......

I thank you for reminding me!

3. Wikipedia to the rescue once again

An ensemble cast is a cast in which the principal performers are assigned roughly equal amounts of importance in a dramatic production.

This kind of casting became more popular in television series because it allows for flexibility for writers to focus on different characters in different episodes. In addition, the departure of players is less disruptive to the premise than it would be if the star of a production with a regularly structured cast leaves.

Alone in the dark, probably......

to sit on your sofa and eat all your nachos, as long as we bring flashlights?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. Bring some nachos too.....

I don't have any in the house at the moment!

And our flashlights are all burned out, so by all means, bring those too!

I'm really prepared for the next earthquake, aren't I?
