Compare AmateurCast, when a work is predominantly comprised of unknown actors, and NonActorVehicle, when someone who's famous in a field outside of acting is given a lead role in a work (those tropes occasionally overlap with this one). Contrast AllStarCast, when the cast is primarily made up of A-listers, and AscendedFancast, when a (usually famous) actor fans wanted in the role is actually hired. Look at EnsembleDarkhorse for a definition of darkhorse.
