Watched Black Hawk Down over the weekend, and I completely forgot...

...how awesome of a cast this thing had. First off, awesome, awesome movie. But the cast was full of solid actors. Here's a breakdown..
- Josh Hartnett
In tons of shite...Lucky Number Slevin, The Faculty, 40 Days and 40 Nights, Pearl Harbor, 30 Days of Night, etc.
- Ewan McGregor
In tons of shite...Star Wars prequels, Angels and Demons, Trainspotting, The Impossible, Big Fish, etc.
- Tom Sizemore
Tons of shite...True Romance, Natural Born Killers, Heat, Saving Private Ryan, etc. Basically, Tom back when he was awesome and not wasted on drugs and alcohol.
- Eric Bana
Tons of shite...Hulk, Troy, Star Trek, Funny People, etc.
- William Fichtner (highly underrated actor IMO)
Tons of shite...Heat, Contact, Armageddon, Perfect Storm, Longest Yard remake, etc.
- Ewen Bremner
In things like Snatch, AVP, Jack the Giant Slayer, etc.
- Sam Shepard
In shite like Steel Magnolias, Pelican Brief, Swordfish, The Notebook, Mud, etc.
- Gabriel Casseus
In shite like Fallen, 24, and other random TV shows.
- Kim Coates
In shite like Last Boy Scout, Waterworld, Pearl Harbor, Open Range, Prison Break, Sons of Anarchy, etc.
- Hugh Dancy
In a bunch of shite I've never seen, but is in Hannibal now.
- Ron Eldard (a.k.a. Tim Roth's fricking doppleganger)
Seriously, that's not Tim Roth. And he's been on lots of shite like ER, Deep Impact, Mystery, Alaska, Justified, Super 8, etc.
- Ioan Gruffud
Been in a shite ton of Horatio Hornblower movies (no idea..), as well as things like Sanctum and 102 Dalmations. But he's most notable as Mr. Fantastic from the Fantastic Four movies.
- Tom Guiry
Muthafricking Scottie Smalls! Also in shite like U-571, Mystic River, Black Donnellys. But frick that, he's Smalls forever.
- Jason Isaacs
Tons of shite...The Patriot, Armageddon, Brotherhood, and Lucius Malfoy from the Harry Potter movies.
- Zeljko Ivanek
shite like Homicide, Unfaithful, 24, Oz, Heroes, Damages, Revolution, The Event, etc.
- Glenn Morshower
Tons of shite...Under Seige, Air Force One, Transformers, X-Men, etc...but I'll always know him as my boy Aaron on 24.
- Jeremy Piven
Tons of shite...Judgment Night, Larry Sanders, Ellen, Cars, Entourage, etc.
- Richard Tyson
He's been in lots of random shite, but basically he's Cullen Crisp, the bad guy in Kindergarten Cop, so that's awesome.
- Brian Van Holt
Been in shite like Basic, S.W.A.T., House of Wax, John from Cincinnati, etc. But I know him as my boy Bobby Cobb from Cougar Town.
- Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
He's actually been in a good bit of shite, but let's face it...it's Jaime muthafricking Lannister.
- Steven Ford
Random roles like Armageddon, Starship Troopers, Heat, Eraser, etc...but also has been on The Young and The Restless for like 20+ years apparently.
- Tom Hardy
I mean shite...Band of Brothers, Inception, Warrior, Lawless, Dark Knight Rises, etc.
- Gregory Sporleder
Small part in Twister, bad guy in The Rock, The Crazies, True Blood, etc.
- Orlando Bloom
Again, tons of shite...Lord of the Rings/Hobbit movies, Troy, Pirates of the Caribbean movies, etc.
- Enrique Murciano
Speed 2, Spyder Games, Without a Trace, CSI, etc.
- George Harris
Tons of shite...Raiders of the Lost Ark, Casualty, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 and 2, etc.
- Treva Etienne
Small parts in random shite like Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, Terminator: Salvation, Bad Boys 2, etc.
- Ty Burrell
National Treasure: Book of Secrets, Muppets Most Wanted, Dawn of the Dead, etc....and of course, pimp dad Phil Dunphy on Modern Family.
- Boyd Kestner
shite like Knots Landing, The General's Daughter, Hannibal, etc.
So that's damn near 30 people from the cast who range from either recognizable to huge megastars. I was watching over the weekend and I always remembered that there were a lot of familiar people in it, but almost literally every single time a new character popped up, it was someone famous/recognizable. Crazy shite.
Also, weirdly enough, it seems like damn near half of these people were all in Pearl Harbor together.

You're right on Fichtner...but damn, I had no idea the list was that extensive. Good work.
Posted on 6/30/14 at 10:39 am to CocomoLSU
yeah, maybe the most solid male cast of all time.
I'm serious when I say that. There are movies with more megastars like the Oceans movies, but this movie had super famous people practically without lines

I know most of this, but Kim Coates is in this? I need to rewatch, such an underrated war movie.
Posted on 6/30/14 at 10:41 am to CocomoLSU
I watched it the other day and noticed Jamie. "HOLY frick THAT'S JAMIE LANNISTER!"
Yeah I'm almost 30. Whatever.

Exactly. I was like "holy shite, that's ____" then two minutes later, "wait a second, that's ___!"

To be fair, a lot of them werent huge stars then.
And Eric Bana's character in that movie is such a badass.

Yup. I hadn't seen it in years, but one thing I always remembered was the end when Hartnett is like "You're going back in there?" and Eric Bana is like "Yeah, there's still soldiers in there" (or whatever). Complete badass.

Ewen is an awkward name for me

When the Delta guys sneak up on the bad guys firing the recoiless rifle at the trapped Rangers and garrote them, that still makes me want to stand up a cheer. 
Posted on 6/30/14 at 11:20 am to elprez00
this is my safety

And then they aim the giant gun/cannon at the other bad guys and blast them.

I don't even remember Piven being in the movie
Posted on 6/30/14 at 11:49 am to BilJ
He's a helicopter pilot.
I don't remember a few of these, Dancy being another.

There was a lot of shite to post.

People were dying to get into that movie - just as they were for Saving Private Ryan. Most male actors really want to be a soldier at least once in a film.
Blackhawk Down is my second favorite war movie (first remains Patton) and directed by my favorite director. If you really want to have some fun, go back and do a cast analysis of Platoon - not nearly the numbers as BHD, but, a lot of star horsepower for the time (even though some hadn't quite become household names, yet.)

Cocomo knows a lot of shite about movies.
