It might be thanks in no small part to a variety of rumoured off-screen dramas, but It Ends With Us is undoubtedly one of the most talked-about films in the world right now.
The new adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s book of the same name hit cinemas earlier this month, and had a huge opening weekend, generating plenty of conversation in the meantime.
And while you’re quite possibly already familiar with its leading star Blake Lively thanks to the likes of Gossip Girl, A Simple Favor, Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants and her reputation as a Met Ball staple, you might be less familiar with other members of the cast.
So, for anyone who’s seen The Last Of Us, or those who are just curious about the film, here’s where you’ve possibly seen the rest of the cast before...
Justin Baldoni
Justin Baldoni does double duty in It Ends With Us as both a leading actor and the film’s director.
Prior to this, he appeared in TV shows like Everwood, Single Ladies and Heroes, before landing his breakthrough role as Rafael in Jane The Virgin.
Since then he’s also appeared in Madam Secretary, Con Man and Five Feet Apart, as well as turning to directing and producing in more recent years.
Jenny Slate
As well as being known for her work in stand-up and improv comedy, Jenny Slate’s acting work has included roles in Girls, Parks And Recreation and Netflix’s Lady Dynamite, as well as taking the lead in the thought-provoking movie Obvious Child.
She’s also a prolific voice actor, playing Tammy in Bob’s Burgers, originating the role of Missy in Big Mouth before Ayo Edebiri took over, portraying the unassuming villain in Disney’s Zootopia and co-creating the internet-character-turned-movie-star Marcel The Shell With Shoes On.
Brandon Sklenar
Before landing his role in It Ends With Us, Brandon Sklenar played Edward Mapplethorpe in the biopic Mapplethorpe, Bobby Prentace in Adam McKay’s Vice and pilot George Gay in Midway.
Paramount+ users may have also seen him in the series 1923, sharing the screen with Helen Mirren, Harrison Ford and Jerome Flynn in the Yellowstone prequel.
Hasan Minhaj
Viewers across the pond will probably best know Hasan Minhaj for his work as a senior correspondent on The Daily Show, later landing his own Netflix talk show Patriot Act With Hasan Minhaj, as well as several stand-up specials.
Within the world of acting, Hasan joined The Morning Show in its second season as a new recurring character, and has appeared in films like Rough Night, Disney’s Haunted Mansion and the sex comedy No Hard Feelings, which starred Jennifer Lawrence in the lead role.
Amy Morton
Amy Morton appears in It Ends With Us as Jenny, the on-screen mum of Blake Lively’s character.
If she’s a familiar face, it could be for her work in the films Up In The Air or the TV shows Chicago Fire (and its numerous spin-offs) and The Bear, in which she played Nancy Chore.
But Amy is also an established theatre performer with two Tony nominations to her name thanks to her work in August: Osage County and a 2012 Broadway revival of Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?.
Kevin McKidd
Kevin McKidd, meanwhile, plays Blake’s on-screen dad.
His biggest role was in the medical drama Grey’s Anatomy playing Dr Owen Hunt, though you may have also seen him in the film Trainspotting and its 2017 sequel.
As a voice actor, he also portrayed John “Soap” MacTavish in the Call Of Duty series, and more recently played Fenn Rau in the Star Wars Rebels TV series.
Alex Neustaedter
Alex appears in certain scenes of It Ends With Us as a younger version of Brandon Sklenar’s character.
His biggest roles have been in the TV shows Colony and American Rust, as well as the Amanda Seyfried horror Things Heard & Seen.
Isabela Ferrer
Like Alex, Isabela appears in flashback scenes as the younger Lily Bloom, played by Blake Lively.
So far, It Ends With Us is Isabela’s biggest on-screen work, although she did also appear in the TV show Evil earlier this year.
It Ends With Us is in cinemas now.
