Career: After being hired to make cabinets for George Lucas, Ford was cast in the director's 1973 film American Graffiti. They reunited for the original Star Wars trilogy, which made both their names. His role as intrepid archaeologist Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark and its sequels cemented his position as one of the world's best-loved heroes. Ford was Oscar-nominated for Peter Weir's thriller Witness. He worked with the director again on 1986 project The Mosquito Coast, which despite being a flop remains one of his favourite movies. Other notable projects include The Fugitive, Blade Runner, Working Girl, Patriot Games and Cowboys & Aliens.

Career: Early roles came in Dallas, Growing Pains, Head Of The Class and several TV movies. Pitt's big break was playing young stud JD in Thelma And Louise. Hits include True Romance, Se7en, Interview With The Vampire, Snatch, Fight Club, Ocean's Eleven and Spy Game. Keen to stretch himself, he turned down a role in Apollo 13 to make Twelve Monkeys, for which he received a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination. Since then his films include Mr & Mrs Smith, two sequels to Ocean's Eleven, Babel, Burn After Reading and The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford. He received an Oscar nomination for The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button in 2008. His recent work includes Inglourious Basterds, Moneyball, World War Z, 12 Years a Slave and Fury.

Career: McElhone made her film debut in 1996 offering Surviving Picasso, and appeared in Dennis Potter's final projects Karaoke and Cold Lazarus in the same year. Hollywood movies The Devil's Own, The Truman Show and Ronin boosted her profile, but over the past few years she's struggled to find hit projects with Love's Labours Lost, The Contaminated Man and Killing Me Softly among the movies which vanished without a trace. Solaris was also a costly flop, but she fared better in Charles Dance's movie Ladies in Lavender. She's currently playing David Duchovny's estranged partner in US series Californication and her recent projects have also included The Secret of Moonacre and Thorne: Sleepyhead.

Career: Stiles had small roles in The Devil's Own (1997) and Wide Awake (1998) and her first lead came in Wicked (1998).

A year later, Stiles portrayed Viola in an off-Broadway production of Twelfth Night. She took a break from acting to study at Columbia University.
