A complete list of CHARACTER and CAST information:
Character Name (if known) / Actor

Please note that a question mark by the character name means that it's probable that character was played by that actor, but cannot be confirmed.

After the production crew member or cast member's name, any related MST Experiment (Movie Title given only once), other non-MST movies, and TV series appear in parentheses. If blank, no other performances are known.

Plus there's memorable CLASSIC LINES of actual movie dialogue.

And TRIVIA! There's usually some little tidbit, or big one for that matter, for most of the movies. If an actor appears in three or more MSTed movies, you're likely to read something about him or her in the Trivia Section of one of his/her movies: either the first time he/she appears in the list or in the listing of the movie in which he/she was most prominent. Keep in mind that some of these movies are so obscure that nothing is known about them.

An ASTERISK (*) functions as a FOOTNOTE. If it is right next to a name, more information is available in the Trivia Section at the end of that movie's data. If it is next to an Experiment Number, the information appears in the Trivia Section for that number. Since many people in the cast and production credits are involved in more than one MSTed movie, the info is given only once in a Trivia Section, so you won't have to read the same stuff over again, but can find it easily if you desire. You'll be amazed how frequently these MSTed movie people inbred and crossbred, and this no doubt accounts for the defects in their mutant movie offspring.
