Alright, listen up, buttercup. This joke is all about words sounding the same but meaning different things, see? When you're an actor, and someone tells you to "break a leg," they mean "good luck." But "a cast" can mean the actors in a play, or the hard thing you put on your leg when you break a bone. So the joke is that actors need a "cast" because they "break a leg." Bet you didn't know actors were so accident prone! Based bear out!
