Amazon Actors (1 Viewer)

Have you ever wondered how Amazon figures which actors to feature is a disc representation. Right now, The Arrival has Phyllis Applegate listed first under actors and then Lyndsey Crouse. No Charlie Sheen, no Teri Polo. Phyllis Applegate? The link below shows a more complete list, but the order way out of wack. I've seen Amazon do this before. They must automate this.

Amazon.com: The Arrival [Blu-ray]: Phyllis Applegate, Lindsay Crouse, Roger Cudney, Tony T. Johnson, Teri Polo, Leon Rippy, Richard Schiff, Charlie Sheen, David Villalpando, Jacqueline Voltaire, Jorge Zepeda, Buddy Joe Hooker, Ron Silver, Maria Luisa

well it does appear to be alphabetical up until the last 3 names

The cast members of the WB archive movies seem to be similarly ordered.

I never paid attention or noticed and it doesn't matter to me.
Amazon has never been what I look at to see who is in a movie.

Doesn't seem like it is even worth wondering about.
Plus the title of this thread "Amazon actors"?
Looks like it's about Actors who are from the Amazon.
Please don't by shy about using much more descriptive topic titles.

Hahaha ... I've wondered the same thing on many occasions.

No, I guess it "doesn't matter", but once you've seen a few Amazon invoices, it's hard to not wonder how they sort the actors.

Seems like they're alphabetical at first but then it's random.

This bugs me too. I use both Amazon and IMDB a lot when researching for my reviews.

Or actors who have played Amazons.

Amazon's generally getting better than they used to be, but sometimes they list the cast alphabetically, promoting bit players into the starring roles:

The Shining [Blu-ray] ~ David Baxt, Lia Beldam, Lisa Burns, and Tony Burton

The Wizard of Oz (Two-Disc Special Edition) ~ Judy Garland, Frank Morgan, Jo Ann Sayers, and Frank Whitbeck

Poltergeist (Blu-ray Book) [Blu-ray] ~ Dirk Blocker, Robert Broyles, Martin Casella, and Noel Conlon

Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade Widescreen ~ Alison Doody, Julian Glover, River Phoenix, and John Rhys-Davies (DVD - 2003)

Singin' in the Rain ~ Cyd Charisse, Mae Clarke, Harry Cody, and Douglas Fowley (DVD - 2000)

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button ~ Lois Hall, Jared Harris, Elias Koteas, and Julia Ormond (DVD - 2009)

I agree that this is weird. Unfortunately, it can be an impediment to a purchase as well. For some less well-known movies, where there are several movies with the exact same name, sometimes the only way of knowing if you are about to order the right movie is the listing of the stars. This frequently necessitates going back to IMDB to see if the actors Amazon lists really are in the movie you want!
