Curtain call

[1][2] In musical theatre, the performers typically recognize the orchestra and its conductor at the end of the curtain call.

Luciano Pavarotti holds the record for receiving 165 curtain calls, more than any other artist, for his February 24, 1988, performance of Nemorino in Gaetano Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore.

[3][4] In film and television, the term "curtain call" is used to describe a sequence at the end of the film and before the closing credits, in which brief clips, stills, or outtakes featuring each main character are shown in sequence with the actor's name captioned.

This sequence results in a similar individual recognition of each actor by the audience as would occur in a stage curtain call.
