For Example, They kept the identity of Kamen Rider Sigurd, Kamen Rider Proto-Drive, Kamen Rider Dark Drive, Kamen Rider Necrom and recently Kamen Rider Genm who have no spoken line in this week's episode a secret.

Kamen Rider Sigurd's identity was Lock Dealer Sid

Kamen Rider Proto-Drive's identity was Chase

Kamen Rider Dark Drive's identity was Paradox Roidmude who was disguise as Eiji Tomari

Kamen Rider Necrom's identity was Alain

I think Kamen Rider Genm's identity is most likely to be Parad since the set leak about Ex-Aid was true because they says about The President of Genm Corporation was a young man and it says Kamen Rider Genm is to be Higher Up Bugsters. Who is this higher up Bugster? Parad!

Why Toei make a big deal of keeping the actor's identity a secret if you guys knew who is going to be Kamen Rider?

To build up hype and suspense. It makes viewers theorize and if it turns out to be true, then people feel nice and fuzzy inside due to being right. It's a common thing in media
