2 is "them".
1 is much more interesting, because both possibilities are perfectly OK (although "actors" should be in lowercase"). There's very little difference in meaning between the two possibilities, too. I think I would be inclined to say "those" when speaking to someone who had seen the play with me, or "the" otherwise.

Gosh, Rommie, I don't get what you are saying. Could you be more explicit? It sounds really interesting.

a. The
b. Those
Both would be OK, but using _those_ would perhaps imply that they were better than some other cast (or group) of actors.
