    The filter is getting called twice because there are 2 elements in your model (i.e $scope.actors). The filter is called once for each element. Does that clarify your problem? Commented Dec 27, 2013 at 10:13

If i don't take your question wrong, this is the same question as here

Angularjs uses a 'dirty-check' approach, so it need to call all the filters to see if exists any change. After this it detect that have a change on one variable(the one that you typed) and then it execute all filters again to detect if has other changes.

To be more clear understanding, stackoverflow this question will explain in more detail by expert in angularjs

Here is another plunker same calling filter twice

The first call is from the watchers that are detecting the change. Because there is one then they need to be called again to see if is there news changes because a watcher can make changes.
