This isn't uncommon in Google results. The other day I wanted to double check that Steve Carell was Gru in Despicable Me because I'm awful at remembering celebrity names. The search "despicable me cast" got a list where he didn't show up until you scrolled way down, past someone else (who appears to be a dubbed version's lead) credited for the role. I'm guessing the issue is really in whatever dataset they source movie casts from.

Tom Cruise didn't use to show up in the cast for 'Top Gun'. They did however list all other actors, including unnamed characters. It's since been corrected, although he currently isn't the first cast member listed.
