Access Nested Relationships with Laravel 4

Question

I find it difficult to understand how to access nested relationships in Laravel. The specific example that I have is a movie that has many features in my Cast table, which has one entry in my People table. These are my models:

Movie

class Movie extends Eloquent {

    protected $primaryKey = 'movie_id';
    protected $table = 'movie';

    // Relationships
    public function cast()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('MovieCast', 'movie_id');
    }
}

MOVIECAST

class MovieCast extends Eloquent {

    protected $table = 'movie_cast';

    public function person()
    {
        return $this->hasOne('Person', 'person_id');
    }

    public function netflix()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo('Movie', 'movie_id');
    }
}

FACE

class Person extends Eloquent {

    protected $primaryKey = 'person_id';
    protected $table = 'people';

    public function movieCast()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo('MovieCast', 'person_id');
    }
}

In my controller, I can access the listing (containing person_idand role_id) as follows:

public function movie($id)
    {
        $movie = Movie::find($id);
        $cast = $movie->cast();

        return View::make('movie')->with(array(
            'movie' => $movie,
            'cast' => $cast
        ));
    }

... but I do not know how to access the corresponding field namein my table People.

EDIT 1:

Using classes, as indicated in @msturdy's answer below, using the controller method above, I am trying to display names personlike this inside my view:

@foreach($cast->person as $cast_member)
        {{$cast_member->person->name}}
    @endforeach

When doing this, I get an error message:

Undefined property: Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\HasMany::$person

, , id People. person_id - .

Answer 1

, ...

Route::get('movies', function()
{
    $movie = Movie::find(1);
    $cast  = $movie->cast;

    return View::make('movies')->with(array(
        'movie' => $movie,
         'cast' => $cast));
});

: $cast Collection, MovieCast, hasMany()

View ( /app/views/movies.blade.php

  @foreach($cast as $cast_member)
    <p>{{ $cast_member->person->name }}</p>
  @endforeach

, :

class Movie extends Eloquent {

    protected $primaryKey = 'movie_id';
    protected $table = 'movie';
    public $timestamps = false;

    // Relationships
    public function cast()
    {
        return $this->hasMany('MovieCast', 'movie_id');
    }
}

class MovieCast extends Eloquent {

    protected $table = 'movie_cast';
    public $timestamps = false;

    public function person()
    {
        return $this->hasOne('Person', 'person_id');
    }

}

class Person extends Eloquent {

    protected $primaryKey = 'person_id';
    protected $table = 'people';
    public $timestamps = false;

    public function movieCast()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo('MovieCast', 'person_id');
    }
}
