The simple answer is that most of the Actors pages also have a paired redirect.

The idea is that, with a few exemptions, since either "Joe Thespian" or "Actor:Joe Thespian" should get the same result, the creation of cast lists is easy for casual editors.

The exceptions are like Actors:Tom Welling or Actors:Bruce Timm. These Actors: articles serve as the repository of their acting credits. There are also Staff articles for the writing, directorial, and like work. So Welling's on screen appearance in a cast list should link to Actors:Tom Welling and his directing credits to Tom Welling. Also, that is why the Actors template has the parameter "Main", so the Actors article can be linked to the Staff article.

Hope that helps.
