Which of the following three words fit best in the blank space?

  • I would pick "The cast is very important", ie. use Josh's suggestion but drop the "actors and actresses" as it's redundant.

  • Alternatively, to emphasise the "picking" of the cast: "The casting of this movie is very important".

Cast is the term generally used to refer to: : (From TFD)

  • The actors in a play, movie, or other theatrical presentation.

  • In the performing arts, casting (or casting call) is a pre-production process for selecting a cast of actors, dancers, singers, models and other talent for a live or recorded performance.

I think cast covers the meaning of the three terms that you are suggesting. If you want to use one of them probably pick/choice fit best.
