uk.ac.cam.cl.databases.moviedb.model.Role

public class Role
extends BiographyItem

A Role appears on a Person object, and describes a part that this person played in a particular movie (as actor or actress). Role is a subclass of BiographyItem, so all of the notes there apply. Role extends BiographyItem with information about the character that this person played in this movie, and the position at which they appear in the credits.

When you look at a Movie object, the actors on that movie are given as a list of CreditActor objects. So CreditActor is like Role, but in the opposite direction (from a movie to a person).
