Using "Search" is not possible.
Only items listed under "Response" on the page.

Getting Movie, TV Show and People Details, you can use "append_to_response" feature.
https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/tv-series-details
https://developer.themoviedb.org/docs/append-to-response

appreciate your help!
i have tried this: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/734?combined_credits&language=en-US&api_key=&append_to_response=videos
returns almost everything i am needing, except, actors/actress, under seasons the episodes??
could i trouble you to point out what else may go into the api call???
appreciate your time!

"Combined Credits" is for People.
https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/person-combined-credits

For Series it is "Aggregate Credits".
https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/tv-series-aggregate-credits

And the "append_to_response" feature only works on Details.
For example:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/734?api_key=THE_KEY&language=en-US&append_to_response=aggregate_credits,videos
