Planet of the Apes cast & crew

Planet of the Apes is a multimedia science fiction franchise that originated with the 1963 novel La Planète des singes by author Pierre Boulle. The story was loosely adapted into a feature film in 1968 titled Planet of the Apes. This film spun out into four sequels, and became the basis for a live-action television series in 1974 and a short-lived Saturday morning cartoon called Return to the Planet of the Apes in 1975. The original film was remade in 2001 by director Tim Burton, and the franchise received another overhaul in 2011 with Rise of the Planet of the Apes, which yielded its own sequel projects beginning with Dawn of the Planet of the Apes in 2014.

The following is an effort to list all actors and production crew members involved in the making of these films. No actual apes were harmed during the compiling of this list.
