THE STRANGE CASE OF "A CRY IN THE DARK"

There are many films which include actors who have been in "Prisoner".
There are some films which have half a dozen actors who have been in "Prisoner".
But how many films include 68 credited actors who've been in "Prisoner"?
(Not to mention Mark Little from "Neighbours"...)

"A Cry in the Dark" is the only one I can think of offhand.
(By the way, the credits for this film listed in the Internet Movie Database are not complete, as they claim)

To aid spotting, here is a list of all the credited actors in the order they appear in the end credits - or you could see my list of the ones I can spot in the order they appear in the film.

Follow the links to find out which parts they played in "Prisoner"... (mostly fairly small, of course)
