I’d also mention that the tvdb API does return guest star info, since a previous comment was unsure about that. Tested against an episode and got this response:

i guess the topic is wrong here actually. its more of a bug report. its a simple bug to not have cast per episode. bug on dev side, but still a bug

Guest stars at the episode level would be great!

I too would like this feature, in particular I would like cross referencing.

For example, if an actor starred in a Movie I have, as well as was a guest star in an episode I have, it should show both.
