Career: Gemma was still at drama school when she won her first professional role in Stephen Poliakoff's drama Capturing Mary. By the time she graduated in summer 2007, she had also won the part of Rosaline in a production of Love's Labours Lost at the Globe Theatre in London, and had been cast as head girl Kelly in St Trinian's. Her star has continued to rise as she appeared in RocknRolla, BBC drama Tess of the D'Urbervilles and ITV's Lost in Austen. More recently, she has starred in Quantum of Solace, Clash of the Titans, Tamara Drewe, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters and Runner Runner.

Career: Grant gained good reviews for a performance in short film Honest, Decent and True in 1985, alongside Gary Oldman and Arabella Weir. His big break came when Daniel Day-Lewis dropped out of Withnail and I, and Grant took his place. The film was a cult smash. Since then, he's appeared in various films and TV shows, including Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Age of Innocence, LA Story, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Gosford Park, and The Hound of the Baskervilles. His film diary, With Nails, was a best-seller, but a novel, By Design, was disappointing. In 2005, he made his directing debut with the critically acclaimed, semi-autobiographical Wah-Wah. His recent work includes roles in Colour Me Kubrick, Penelope, Cuckoo and The Iron Lady, in which he played Tory politician Michael Heseltine.

Career: Nighy honed his craft at Liverpool's Everyman Theatre in the 1970s. He made his TV debut in 1980 in sitcom Agony. His first film, Eye of the Needle, came a year later. He has juggled acclaimed stage appearances with TV and film work. His role as a randy lecturer in 1991's The Men's Room made him a heart-throb, but he didn't become familiar to audiences until a string of hits beginning with 1998's Still Crazy, followed by Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, State of Play, and Love Actually. He also starred in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels, Stormbreaker and Underworld: Evolution. Other projects include Valkyrie, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, The Boat That Rocked, G-Force, Wild Target. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and playwright David Hare's Worricker trilogy.

Career: Stirling's first major stage role was a 1996 National Youth Theatre production of Othello, in which she played Desdemona opposite Chiwetel Ejiofor. Two years later she made her film debut in the British comedy Still Crazy, opposite Bill Nighy and Jimmy Nail. In 2000, she featured as the young Rebeccah in the miniseries In the Beginning; her mother played the character at an older age. But it was the BBC's 2002 adaptation of Sarah Waters' novel Tipping the Velvet that made her a star. Since then Stirling has appeared on stage in Theatre of Blood (playing the same character her mother portrayed in the 1971 film version), Look Back in Anger, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Priory and An Ideal Husband. Films include Maybe Baby, Complicity, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and Snow White and the Huntsman.
