迈克尔·法斯宾德生于德国，在爱尔兰长大，现居伦敦。曾出演过电视影集《兄弟连》以及英剧《魔女》，07年《300死士》中扮演斯巴达勇士Stelios，俊朗不羁的长发造型让法斯宾德在成群猛男中依然抢眼。他还被法国导演弗朗索瓦欧容挑中，在其首部英文片《天使》中扮演女主人公的情人。《300》和《天使》这两部风格截然不同的影片同时亮相了当年柏林电影节。法斯宾德还同《越狱》的多米尼克·珀塞尔一起出演了乔·舒马赫执导的吸血鬼片《唐恩溪》，伍迪·艾伦《卡珊德拉之梦》中短暂客串，另还在英国视觉艺术家史蒂夫·麦奎因的导演处女作《饥饿》中扮演绝食而亡的爱尔兰共和军成员Bobby Sands，为此减去大量体重，与《机械师》中的克里斯蒂安·贝尔可谓有得一拼。该片是08年第61届戛纳电影节“一种关注”单元的开幕片，并获得本届戛纳的金摄影机奖。
柯蒂·斯密特-麦菲（Kodi）生于1996年，成名于2007年的《我的父亲，罗穆卢斯》，和扮演父亲的艾瑞克·巴纳一起荣获了澳大利亚电影协会男主角奖的提名。他在模仿口音方面的天赋，以及变戏法般拿出专业演员态度的速度让剧组用“外星人”来称呼他。
Six foot six inches tall, with brown eyes and dark hair, Rory McCann from Glasgow began his working life at the top - as a painter on the Forth Bridge in Scotland. He came to notice in a television commercial for Scotts' Porridge Oats, in which he appeared as a scantily-clad hunk in a vest and kilt and little else wandering snowbound streets but warmed by the inner glow of the porridge. He claims that as a consequence he was often approached by people demanding that he "lift his kilt." In 2002 he was seen in the TV comedy-drama 'The Book Group' playing a wheelchair-bound lifeguard, a part for which he won a Scottish BAFTA award for the best television performance of 2002. Since then he has taken television roles as Peter the Great and a priest in 'Shameless'. He made his Hollywood debut in Oliver Stone's 'Alexander'. He divides his time between homes in London and Glencoe, Scotland, where he aims to have his own castle. He is an accomplished singer, pianist and harmonica-player as well as an all-round sportsman. From 2012 to 2014 he was part of the international television block-buster 'Game of Thrones'.
