Try:
member("real cast member").duration
In order for this to work, you *must* first play the video. Remember that this is a
streaming (always) media type and information such as its duration isn't known until
streaming has begun. Therefore if you need to write some code that is dependant upon
the duration, either write it such that you query the duration after playback of the
member has begun and then store that in a variable, or play the member in authoring
and hardcode the duration value.
