I don't understand this sentence please help??

I read this sentence and I'm having trouble understanding the bold part. Does it make sense? IN PART OF THE ENSEMBLE??? , CHARACTERS WHOSE ACTORS...??? Could you explain it to me if it does make sense or reword it if it doesn't?

This portal shows the eventual fates of all of the characters whose actors have ever been given a main billing on the cast in order of episode count. That is to say, when the credits roll at the beginning of the show, their name has been included in part of the ensemble of actors that are presented as "Starring" in the show, and not as guest or featured stars.

Thank you

alc24Ok Thank you, but is the original sentence ok or awkward.
It's largely OK.

I assume you mean "... in part ...". This seems unnecessary. I don't see any reason to worry whether an actor's name is included in part of the ensemble of "Starring" actors; all that matters is th
