Cast and crewChange the character a person plays
Move a person to a different character, or add a second character to them.
Before you start
- The Cast list has at least one person.
Steps
Right-click a person's row and choose Assign Character…. You can also open the person and click Assign Character… in the drawer.
The row menu has Open, Assign Character…, Archive and a red Delete…. The menu appears only on people, not on Unassigned character rows, which have their own Assign button.
In the Assign a character to dialog, choose a character and Primary actor or Alternate / double, then click Assign.
The title names the person, here Ananya Rao. The Person box is filled in and cannot be edited. The list shows the character they play now, selected. The rest of the dialog works like Add Person.
What you get
The person is linked to the character you chose, as primary or alternate.
Watch out for
- If you set the person as Primary for a character who already has a primary actor, that actor becomes an alternate.
