is there a way to change top cast on a series' main page?

I've already ordered cast, but is there a way to remove or isolate certain cast members from a series to appear on the 'TOP CAST' section?

I'm trying to just get a couple of our main players, but as it's an anthology, our background is showing at the top.

IMDb can set the top stars manually. If you mention 3-4 names here, maybe someone will help.

Hello chgolestani,

For TV Series there are more factors involved, including number of episodes a cast is credited on for the series (the more episodes they have, the higher they will appear in the order). Also, STARmeter rank is also something that is effected on a TV Series main cast order.

The order cannot be changed as it is automatically determined.

Cheers!

@Fran​ 

We do have a separate system for indicating the lead actors via the "Stars" section, but this can only be amended internally by IMDb staff members.

@Peter_pbn​ Hi! Yes we can manually set top stars, but there usually has to be a reason. @chgolestani Why do this people need to be set as top stars?

Thanks!

I understood the first post to mean that the names currently listed first are background cast who are the only ones to appear in more than one episode.

that is correct @Peter_pbn . our top cast who also had multiple duties and played a pivotal role are behind extras who appear in multiple films, but have no lines and have no focus.

Hi @chgolestani -

I'm following up to confirm that the requested "Top Stars" change has been made on the series title and should be live on the site shortly.

Cheers!

@Michelle​ it seems one of them MIGHT have still sunk to the bottom

(Behzad Dabu). However, he WAS at the top for a minute there.

Hi @chgolestani​ -

This listing has been corrected and "Behzad Dabu" should display at the top of the cast list shortly.

Cheers!
