COMCAST, WHY DO YOU HATE KATIE HOLMES?

Was watching Go, a college aged favorite. You had rave going grocery working youngins. And you had Katie Holmes. But if you look at this picture, you'll see the description Comcast gave me for it. And what you'll notice? Katie Holmes isn't even listed in the credits. Wtf? The most well known person in the movie, and she doesn't even get mentioned. What's going on here? Oh, and call me out of touch, but who is Desmond Askew and why does he get top billing?
