Well your code doesn’t do anything right not to actually fetch the info. 🙂

You need to run it through a custom wp_query AND add the appropriate posts_where filter function as described in the documentation

Take a look at example 4 here: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/query-posts-custom-fields/

So your code needs to be more like:

<?php
//Get the volunteer posts ID
$post_id = get_the_ID();

//Fetching all shows the volunteer was actor in
$args = array(
	'numberposts'	=> -1,
	'post_type'		=> 'show',
	'meta_query'	=> array(
		array(
			'key'		=> 'cast_%_actor',
			'compare'	=> '=',
			'value'		=> $post_id,
		)
	)
);

$show_actor_query = new WP_Query($args);
?>

<?php if( $show_actor_query->have_posts() ): ?>

	<?php while( $show_actor_query->have_posts() ): $show_actor_query->the_post(); ?>

		<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
		
	<?php endwhile; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

I can’t really write all the code for you because it’d be a bit over the top and I strongly believe in learning by doing 🙂 But I’ll be happy to guide you in what you need to do.
