The Outfit: Movies Where You've Seen The Cast | Screen Rant
Graham Moore's 2022 mob thriller, The Outfit, tells the story of an English suit cutter from London's famed Savile Row who finds himself involved in a bout of messy and potentially deadly organized crime activities. On top of Moore's and Jonathan McClain's crisp writing, the film packs the star shine, employing a cast of captivating and well-seasoned actors to tell this engaging story.
The cast of the movie features six well-known stars with filmographies that span a wide range of genres. Dylan O'Brien, Mark Rylance, Zoey Deutch, Simon Russell Beale, Johnny Flynn, and Nikki Amuka-Bird all work together to take the audience back in time to this 1950s nail-biter. Audience members will be able to recognize all of these actors from their previous works, whether it be YA movie adaptations, historical fiction films, or war dramas.
As Richie Boyle in The Outfit, Dylan O'Brien flaunts a thick Chicago accent as a young and hungry mobster who works out of Leonard Burling's tailor shop to keep the family mob running.
While this may be the first time that audiences get to hear O'Brien with a Windy City accent, it is not the first time that the actor has made big moves on the big screen. O'Brien plays the protagonist, Thomas, in The Maze Runner franchise, one of the best YA movie adaptations that was never finished. He has also worked alongside Michael Keaton in American Assassin, he features as the techy nerd Stuart Twombly in The Internship, and he even stars in Taylor Swift's All Too Well video with Sadie Sink.
Mark Rylance stars as Leonard in The Outfit, a suit cutter who tailors suits for the Boyles' family mob. His involvement in the mob itself is limited, though the mobsters utilize the shop for cash and packages.
Audiences might recognize Rylance as Anorak in Ready Player One, which features one of the best robot fight scenes in a sci-fi movie. Viewers might also note that Rylance has been in Bridge of Spies as Rudolf, as well as the beloved Big Friendly Giant in Disney's The BFG. In Dunkirk, he brings a heartfelt heroism to Mr. Dawson, a civilian who helps to evacuate Dunkirk himself rather than simply giving his boat to the army.
Zoey Deutch stars in the thriller as Mabel, the tailor shop assistant to Leonard Burling who finds herself tied up in a life-threatening mob scandal that turns out to result in a profit for her.
The actress' filmography prior to Graham Moore's thriller includes starring as Samantha over and over again in the time loop teen drama, Before I Fall. She also appears as Madison in Zombieland: Double Tap, where her funny quote about "literally being alive" is one of the best quotes in the sequel. Another notable, earlier role for the talent is as the daughter of Bryan Cranston's Ned Fleming in Why Him?
Simon Russell Beale stars as mobster Roy Boyle in The Outfit, the head of the organized crime outfit that Francis and his son Richie are working for when the mob's activities start to get messy.
One of Simon Russell Beale's most notorious roles prior to The Outfit is as the historically accurate Soviet Union Marshal, Lavrentiy Beria, in The Death Of Stalin. The English actor has also starred as Ebenezer Scrooge in the 2020 film A Christmas Carol, Sir William in the romantic drama The Deep Blue Sea, and King Lear in the 2014 live performance of the story directed by Sam Mendes.
Johnny Flynn assumes the role of Francis in The Outfit, an ambitious young mobster who works for Roy Boyles alongside Roy's son, Richie.
Perhaps one of Johnny Flynns' most iconic starring roles to date has been as George Knightley in the period romantic comedy Emma (2020), one of the best Emma movie adaptations, whose characterization is a far cry from the mobster that he takes on in The Outfit. His portrayal of a 1971 David Bowie in Gabriel Range's musical drama Stardust speaks further to his range as an actor, even if the film did not do too well at the box office.
Nikki Amuka-Bird takes on the powerful role of Violet Fontaine in Graham Moore's 2022 film. She stands at the head of La Fontaine, the mob that rivals the Boyles family. She does what she needs to do when things turn sour between the two crime organizations, and that includes murdering Mr. Boyles.
Nikki Amuka-Bird might seem familiar to some viewers from her meaningful portrayal of Natalie Blake in NW, a 2016 certified fresh drama that tells the story of two estranged best friends who reunite in northwest London as Natalie grapples with her notion of privilege in an attempt to figure out where she belongs. She can also be found playing the smaller role of Patricia in M. Night Shyamalan's 2021 fantasy thriller, Old.
