Thanks all!

Yes the relations table makes sense (I don't think I have seen it mentioned before).

I guess I can still have an input field where the person creating the page puts the actor ids seperated by comma and then use the $seperated = explode(',', '124,366,697,125,123'); to create an array which is then used to enter the actor ids into the relations table (?).

Is there any time when I should skip the relations table and just use the 'explode' method?

What if I simply want to add 'related actors' to a news item or a feature - would the relations table be overkill?
