There is no such word. Perhaps you misunderstood something you heard. It may have been "show case."
Click for definition.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/show%20case
Look at the first meaning given, which is the the way the term is used most: the act of showing, exhibition.
Nouns are often used in English as a verb.
Example: You need to show case your work.
In the past tense you could have:
She show cased her best work in the exhibition.
In verbs ending with an S sound, the added -ed used to form the past tense is pronounced like the letter T.
So it may have been that you heard "show cased" and thought that it was "showcast."
Note: "Cast" and "cased" are not pronounced the same.
The A in "cast" is short as in "at."
The A in "cased" is long as in "ate."

Don't really know as you don't say in what context the word is used. Perhaps its two words like show cast, meaning the people who appeared in the show.( Well its a good try.)

English is my first language so allow me to (attempt) to help you.
I have not heard of "showcast" as one word, but as two words, the CAST of a SHOW (TV program/in theatre etc.) are the actors/actresses in it.
The word "typecast" may be what you are thinking of - it is when one actor/actress is always given a similar part in every show they do (for example if one actor is always getting the part of an idiot in all of his movies.)

I'm English and I really haven't a clue I'm afraid!
Could you expand on your question? In what context have you seen the word?
