Reparto has more of an emphasis of the cast's roles they play. It almost combines the concepts of the actors and the characters. With elenco, there is more of a strict emphasis on the whole group of actors without factoring in their roles at all. For example, at a red carpet event, you would use elenco, whereas when listing off the cast and crew, you would use reparto for the cast because that factors in their roles. === Further reading === “elenco”, in Diccionario de la lengua española [Dictionary of the Spanish Language] (in Spanish), online version 23.8.1, Royal Spanish Academy [Spanish: Real Academia Española], 15 December 2025
