Cast list

Titanic (1997): The Full Cast List, All 51 Credited Performers

51 credited performers, 36 with a recorded role · directed by James Cameron.

INT. TITANIC — DAY

Titanic is listed here with its full credited cast rather than the handful of names that usually travel with it. That is the difference most cast searches are actually after: the lead is rarely the thing being looked up, and the performer someone half-remembers is almost always further down the list.

Cast

Listed alphabetically. The billing order is not recorded for this film, and ordering the names arbitrarily would present a guess as a fact. Roles are shown where they are recorded — 36 of 51 here.

How the credits break down

51 performers are credited and 36 of them have a recorded role, which is 71% of the list. An ensemble this size is why most of a cast goes unlisted everywhere else: the names past the top few simply do not travel with the film.

At 51 credited performers this sits against a median of 19 across the 16 films held here, larger than 14 of them. Cast size is worth a glance because it predicts how findable the supporting players are: the bigger the ensemble, the more of it exists nowhere else in a readable form, which is the whole reason to write these lists out in full.

What this list does and does not tell you

A credited cast is a reliable answer to "who was in it" and a poor answer to "who mattered in it". The record behind this page carries every credited performer, carries character names unevenly, and mostly does not carry billing at all, so the ordering above is either the real billing or plainly alphabetical, and never a reconstruction dressed up as one. Where a role is missing it says so rather than leaving a blank that reads like an omission.

The other thing a cast list will not answer is what happened next, which is usually the second question. The sequel tracker covers the follow-ups that were set up and whether they arrived, and the film index is the way back to the rest of these pages. Performers with a page of their own are gathered in the actor index.

This cast is one of the 46 in the daily film games — guess the film from its cast, or sort sixteen performers into the four films they appeared in.

Questions about the cast

Who is in the cast of Titanic?

51 credited performers are listed below, 36 of them with the character they plays. The list is the full credited cast rather than a top-billed selection.

Why is the cast not in billing order?

Because the order is not recorded. Billing is a specific piece of data, a numbered position on a credit, and this film's record does not carry it. Presenting the list in an arbitrary order and calling it billing would invent a fact, so the names are alphabetical and this note explains why.

Who directed Titanic?

James Cameron. The film was released in 1997.

Where do these details come from?

Structured film records, pulled by the same process that builds every cast list on this site rather than written from memory. What that source carries reliably is who was credited; what it carries patchily is character names, and what it usually omits entirely is billing order. The pages are built to that shape instead of papering over it.
