"Full Cast and Crew" is the title-level credits subpage that lists every performer and worker by role and department. You reach it through the "Cast & crew" link, and it reflects the production's official credits. On-screen credit means the name appeared in the opening or closing titles. That distinction shapes the rest of the page, including order, completeness, and uncredited names.

What does the page organize?
The page groups people by job, not by fame. Cast appears by character and billing position, while crew appears by department such as directing, writing, camera, art, sound, editing, and music.
Each entry follows the production's official credit wording. According to IMDb Help, the page is built from those official title credits, as explained in the new credit categories guide.
What do credited and uncredited mean?
According to IMDb Help, "credited" means the name actually appears in the opening or closing titles, as described in the eligible credits guide. That on-screen billing is what gives the person a credited entry.
An "(uncredited)" tag means the person worked on or appeared in the production but was left out of the credit sequence. IMDb Help states that removal of such a tag requires evidence like a screenshot showing the name in the credits.
- Credited: name appears in opening or closing titles.
- Uncredited: work or appearance without a matching on-screen name credit.
- Proof: screenshot or similar evidence ties the name to the titles.
Why does cast order look wrong?
Cast order follows the most complete on-screen listing, usually the end titles. That list may run in order of appearance or alphabetically.
So a famous lead can appear far down the page. Poster billing and opening-title billing promote stars, while the full page preserves the production's own title order.
What does a complete listing promise?
A listing flagged "complete" means its data mirrors the on-screen cast or crew credits accurately. According to IMDb Help, completeness refers to that match, as stated in the complete cast and crew guide.
It does not mean filming or post-production has finished. It also does not add missing workers beyond what the titles establish.
Who controls writing and directing credit?
Screen writing forms such as "Written by," "Screenplay by," and "Story by" follow the Writers Guild's Screen Credits Manual. According to the Writers Guild, disputed proposals go to arbitration by working-writer panelists who review script drafts, as detailed in the Screen Credits Manual.
For directors, the Directors Guild is the arbiter when responsibility for directorial credit is disputed. Only one director may generally be assigned to a motion picture at a time. The permitted on-screen and paid-advertising form is "Directed by.".
