Good catch. You're right. I should have used left joins so as not to filter
them out. That makes the query:
select
"cast".character_name as "Character Name"
, "actors".name || ' ' || actors.surname as "Actor"
, group_concat("other movies".title, ', ') as "Other movies where we've
seen this actor"
from "movies"
join "cast" using (movie_id)
join "actors" using (actor_id)
left join "cast" as "other cast" on "other cast".actor_id =
"actors".actor_id
left join "movies" as "other movies" on "other movies".movie_id =
"other cast".movie_id
where "other movies".movie_id != "movies".movie_id
and "movies".movie_id = ?
