Are or Is?

More than half of the original cast is/are either gone or dead.
  

Top answer

I would use are, but is is also possible. With singular nouns such as audience and crew which refer to a number of people both singular and plural verbs occur. The plural is usually more common in British English while Americans often use the singular.
