2 is "them". 1 is much more interesting, because both possibilities are perfectly OK (although "actors" should be in lowercase"). There's very little difference in meaning between the two possibilities, too.

Both would be OK, but using those would perhaps imply that they were better than some other cast (or group) of actors.
