"""

Get the movie cast for a given movie id, with optional parameters to exclude an cast member

from being returned and/or to limit the number of returned cast members

documentation url: https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/movies/get-movie-credits

:param integer movie_id: a movie_id

:param integer limit: number of returned cast members by their 'order' attribute

e.g., limit=5 will attempt to return the 5 cast members having 'order' attribute values between 0-4

If there are fewer cast members than the specified limit or the limit not specified, return all cast members

:param list exclude_ids: a list of ints containing ids (not cast_ids) of cast membersthat should be excluded from the returned result

e.g., if exclude_ids are [353, 455] then exclude these from any result.

:rtype: list

return a list of dicts, one dict per cast member with the following structure:

[{'cast_id': '97909' # the id of the cast member

'character': 'John Doe' # the name of the character played

'credit_id': '52fe4249c3a36847f8012927' # id of the credit}, ... ]

Important: the exclude_ids processing should occur prior to limiting output.
