Dancing with the "Stars" (or lack thereof) Cast Announced for Season 32 (on ABC and Disney+)

I recognize five of the celebrities/stars, including Barry Williams and Mira Sorvino. The rest: Who?
I'm surprised they didn't start looking for TikTok "stars" given the actors/writer's strike. And I stand by putting "stars" in quotation marks. They're really not.
Thus why I also put the word "stars" in quotes in the main title of this discussion thread :)
 
In a statement to Variety, a spokesperson for SAG-AFTRA says that performers on the ABC competition series are not violating the strike rules by participating in the show and that they are legally required to fulfill their contractual obligations with the show.

“Our members appearing on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ are working under the Network Code agreement, which is a non-struck contract. They are required to go to work, are not in violation of SAG-AFTRA strike rules, and we support them in fulfilling their contractual obligations,” a SAG-AFTRA spokesperson says.

 
For anyone that cares:
1) The DWTS season premier took place as scheduled this Tuesday (2 nights ago).
2) Since it's being shown on ABC again this season in addition to Disney+, the program is available to Comcast customers via On Demand.
3) The first "star" to get eliminated on week 1 was Matt Walsh, the guy who threatened to nearly hold up the season premier due to the strike.
