Thank you. It's incredible how often it's conjugated incorrectly. As someone else wrote it's possible it's going to be seen as acceptable soon... :(

I wish I was smart & old enough to have taken Latin. This is my favourite part of every film I have seen, but I'm just dont have the brain to comprehend what they're doing. 😞

Nope. There’s multiple meanings to the word “cast.” One meaning - the one used here - is to assign the roles to actors. Past tense of that is “casted.”

The meaning you’re likely reading - to be assigned a role - uses “was cast” as its past tense.

Bob Hoskins was cast.

Brian de Palma casted the film.

Past tense of cast is cast though?

Casted is an incorrect past tense conjugation of the verb cast. Since cast rhymes with other past tense verbs like passed and gassed, you can use the rhymes as a reminder that it can function as its own past tense conjugation.
