Movies that stick out in our minds years after they first release is a common thing in the world of entertainment. With so many films out there to watch, there is something for everyone. An integral part of movie-making is a well-rounded and talented cast. A character written in a script is nothing unless it can come to life before our eyes.
In 2017, the spectacular action crime film Baby Driver, directed by Edgar Wright, came out and blew away all of our expectations. The thrilling film follows a young man named Baby, who is the chosen getaway driver for criminal mastermind Doc. Although a life of crime has exhilarated Baby for a while, nothing can get you to give it all up like love, which is what happens when he meets Debora. This film has a very familiar cast that you will definitely be interested in catching up with. Come with us to check out where the cast of Baby Driver is today.
Ansel Elgort
In a young actor's life, there is nothing like a stand-out role to really propel your career forward. For Ansel Elgort, his previous projects like the YA romance sensation The Fault In Our Stars and the dystopian franchise Divergent, all cemented his talents as an actor. However, he really broke out into the scene with his role as Baby in Baby Driver. Unfortunately for Elgort's career since then, glaring sexual assault allegations made against him sent a dark cloud over the release of Steven Spielberg's West Side Story in 2021, which he starred in.
Lily James
Everyone's beloved live-action Cinderella, Lily James plays Debora in Baby Driver. Since the release of Baby Driver, James has really gone above and beyond with the roles she acquired for herself. In 2018, she found herself front and center in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. She also played Ellie Appleton in the comedy-drama Yesterday and starred as Pamela Anderson in the jaw-dropping series Pam and Tommy alongside Sebastian Stan in 2022.
Jon Hamm
You probably recognize Jon Hamm for his role as Don Draper in the drama series Mad Men. In Baby Driver, Hamm plays Buddy, the film's main antagonist. Since 2017, Hamm has spread his talents to many different genres of film. In 2018, he played Bob Callahan in the comedy film Tag alongside Jeremy Renner, Ed Helms, Jake Johnson, and Hannibal Buress. He starred in the crime film Confess, Fletch in 2022 and found himself in the outstanding ensemble of Top Gun: Maverick with Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, and Glen Powell.
Kevin Spacey
Kevin Spacey is a name that you are probably familiar with if you are into film. Some of Spacey's most notable works include Netflix's House of Cards, 1999's American Beauty, and 1995's The Usual Suspects. Even with the accolades, recognition, and praised acting performances, Spacey has not been in the acting space for some time. Indeed, Spacey's reputation as an actor was completely obliterated by some horrific sexual assault accusations. With the charges against him looming over his career, The New York Times reports that he has been found not guilty as of July 2023.
Jamie Foxx
Jamie Foxx is the kind of entertainment personality that never goes away, and we are always thankful for it. Foxx is easily one of the most recognizable faces in the industry today. He has been a villain in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014 and played Django in Django: Unchained in 2012. In Baby Driver, he was the antagonist Bats. Recently, Foxx has made media headlines for a health scare that has since been resolved. He also starred as Slick Charles in the Netflix mystery film They Cloned Tyrone.
Eiza González
Eiza González plays Darling in the action crime film. González has since been a part of a variety of notable projects including Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw in 2019, I Care a Lot in 2020, Godzilla vs. Kong in 2021, and Ambulance in 2022. If you are interested in some of her upcoming projects, she is set to star in the action war film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare directed by Guy Ritchie.
Jon Bernthal
Jon Bernthal has been in so many iconic projects that it is even harder for us to keep track of it all. For two seasons, Bernthal starred in Netflix's The Punisher, was on two seasons of Daredevil, and the first few seasons of The Walking Dead as the character Shane. Bernthal is still on the top of his acting game with his most recent projects including 2022's American Gigolo and the show We Own This City. He is also in Hulu's hit comedy-drama The Bear.
CJ Jones
CJ Jones does not have the most extensive filmography. Other than playing the character Joseph in Baby Driver, Jones was in the 2009 See What I'm Saying: The Deaf Entertainers Documentary and Through Deaf Eyes, a historical drama documentary. His most recent project had him take part in the case of one of the most highly-anticipated films in the last decade, Avatar: The Way of Water which came out in 2022.
Lanny Joon
Korean American actor Lanny Joon plays J.D. in Baby Driver. Since the release of the 2017 film, Joon was involved in the 2020 dramatic comedy show Bulge Bracket as well as the drama series Wolf Pack whose first season came out earlier this year. Joon was and continues to be one of the most prominent faces in Asian representation in the industry today.
Flea
You probably know Flea as the bassist of the legendary rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers. The extremely talented musician has also spread his talents to the world of acting, playing Eddie No-Nose in Baby Driver. Since the release of Baby Driver, Flea has been in the Disney+ show Obi-Wan Kenobi as Vect Nokru as well as the drama comedy Babylon starring Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt, and Tobey Maguire. Of course, other than the film and TV industry, you can catch Flea still going strong in the music industry with Red Hot Chili Peppers.
