I didn't fully check what you need but here are some hints:
Use "Player.GetItem" method to get currently playing media info
Then use "VideoLibrary.GetMovieDetails" or "VideoLibrary.GetEpisodeDetails" method to get the "Cast".
You might need to use some other methods to get extra parameters like playerid.
Hopefully this helps
