Sort of. :-)
The fact is: it's a tv series, and for tv series - for some mysterious
reason - the plain text data files doesn't contains any more the list
of "recurrent cast".
Previously (before a page for every episode of a show were introduced)
the cast was present, and it was also present for some more time,
after that.
Now every episode lists its cast, but the entry of the series itself
normally doesn't (I'm quite confident that there are some exceptions
to this rule, but...)
This affects both 'local' and 'sql' data access systems, and - if I
can say that I think - it's a bug in how the plain text data files
are generated [1].
Not that I've thought about it for a long time, but I cannot figure
a simple and _fast_ way to create the list of recurrent cast on the
fly (scanning the list of episodes would take way too long).
Thank you very much for your extensive testing of IMDbPY (I'll add
you to the CREDITS.txt, in the next update)!

[1] maybe someone can try to spot this behavior on the "Help" board
on http://imdb.com/boards/ (for registered users only).
