How to for-loop output in python?

Question

The output itself is working but how can i format the output or write it to a variable or array using outside the for loop ?

...
for item in soup.findAll('span', {"itemprop":"actor"}):
    print item.text
...

Output example:

Sylvester Stallone
Arnold Schwarzenegger

But Output should look something like:

Actors: Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger

actor_list = soup.findAll('span', {"itemprop":"actor"})
print "Actors: {0}".format(", ".join(actor_list))

One thing you can do is this...

actors = [item.text for item in soup.findAll('span', {"itemprop":"actor"})]
print "Actors: %s" % (", ".join(actors))

Without save it to a variable:

print "Actors: ",
...
for item in soup.findAll('span', {"itemprop":"actor"}):
    print item.text, ",",
...
