How to do ternary association is hibernate (java)?

Question

I have 3 classes - MovieEntry, ActorEntry, CharacterEntry. An actor can be in multiple movies and play multiple characters (even in 1 movie) and a movie can have multiple actors and characters and a character can be in multiple movies.
When I pull a movie I want to know which actors are cast for it and what characters they play in that movie. Also when I pull an actor I want to know in which movies they play and what characters they play in every movie. I have:

@MappedSuperclass
public abstract class BaseEntity {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(generator = "UUID")
    @GenericGenerator(name = "UUID", strategy = "org.hibernate.id.UUIDGenerator")
    private String id;

    //...
}
@Entity
@Table(name = "movies")
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.JOINED)
public class MovieEntry extends BaseEntry {
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private String title;

    //...
    @ManyToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, cascade = { CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.MERGE})
    @JoinTable(name = "movies_cast",
            joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "movie_id", referencedColumnName = "id"),
            inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "cast_id", referencedColumnName = "id"))
    private Set<ActorEntity> cast;
    //...
}

@Entity
@Table(name = "actors")
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.JOINED)
public class ActorEntry extends BaseEntry {
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private String name;

    //...
    @ManyToMany(mappedBy = "cast", fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
    private Set<MovieEntity> acting;
    //...
}
@Entity
@Table(name = "characters")
public class CharacterEntity extends BaseEntity {
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private String name;

    //...
}

So basically I want to associate an Actor that plays a Character in a Movie. Should I just create another class that combines the 3 entities (I've checked other questions and that is what is suggested there) or is there another (Hibernate specific maybe) way to do it?
