I have this struct:

type Movies struct {
   ID string
   Title string
   Actors []struct {
      Name string
      City string
      State string
      Country string
   }
}

And then I have my sql query and logic:

query := `select m.id as id, m.title as title, m.actors as actors from Movies where id = $1`

rows, err := db.Query(query, movieID)

var rowsOut []types.Movies

    for rows.Next() {
        var movies types.Movies
        var actors_json string

        scanerr := rows.Scan(
            &movies.id,
            &movies.title,
            &movies.actors_json
        )
    }

So when I print out fmt.Println(actors_json), it prints out the way I want it to, actually exactly the way its stored in the db which is like:

{"actors": [{"name": "x", "city": "Miami", "state": "FL", "country": "US"}]}

but then when I go onto unmarshal it and add it to the struct:

err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(actors_json), &movies)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("Error unmarshaling JSON:", err)
    } else {
        fmt.Println("Unmarshalled TSD:", movies.Actors)
    }

        if scanerr != nil {
            return rowsOut, err
        }

this fmt.Println("Unmarshalled TSD:", movies.Actors) prints [], like its empty?

Why would this happen? Could someone please explain? I’ve been stuck for some time now, so thank you in advance.
