Looks like
cast
the actors in a show; to throw; to mould; a plaster cast
⚠️ The trap
Italian borrowed 'cast' only for the sense of a group of performers. The other English meanings (to cast a fishing line, to cast a statue, a plaster cast on a broken arm) are expressed completely differently in Italian.
To say "the actors in a show; to throw; to mould; a plaster cast" in Italian:
cast (correct for film/theatre use); getto / calco (for physical casting)
"cast" in English means:
(borrowed) the cast of a film, play, or show
Example
"Il cast del film include molti attori italiani famosi."
"The film's cast includes many famous Italian actors."
