The 2015 horror drama video game Until Dawn follows a group of eight people who return to the scene of their friends' disappearance a year prior. The game was well-received by critics and audiences alike, and it uses a butterfly effect system that makes each choice matter. Though its success was largely due to the immersive gameplay, it was also because of the exceptional cast who provided their voices and likenesses to the characters.
Fans may recognize actors like Rami Malek and Hayden Panettiere from their work in popular movies and TV shows. These roles showcase their abilities, and it is clear why they were cast in Until Dawn.
Brett Dalton voices Mike in Until Dawn, but he has been a part of several major projects before and since. Perhaps the most popular of these is Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., in which he portrays Grant Ward. A complicated figure, Ward has many secrets that are not initially known to the other characters.
Dalton plays this secretive character with skilled depth, often convincing the audience that he is someone who can be trusted. The character also undergoes several transformations throughout the series, and Dalton's presence is part of what makes the best seasons of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. work so well.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is available to stream on Netflix.
Nichole Sakura began starring as Cheyenne Lee in Superstore the same year as she voiced Emily in Until Dawn. Cheyenne appears in almost every episode of the beloved NBC comedy series, and Sakura steals every scene she's in with her stellar comedic timing. Cheyenne's moments would not work as well if it was not for Sakura's talents.
The series only just recently ended, and Nichole Sakura already has some other major projects she is a part of, including a role in the English dub of an episode of Star Wars: Visions.
Superstore is available to stream on Hulu.
Rami Malek voices Josh, the brother of the two people who disappeared a year prior, in Until Dawn, and he has risen to incredible stardom recently. This is largely due to his role as Freddie Mercury in the biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. Malek has been given extensive praise for his portrayal of the beloved musician, showing dimensions of the man that were not often displayed for the public, and winning an Oscar for his performance.
The film itself has received criticism for certain inaccurate representations of events, and it is not often considered one of the best rock musician biopics of all time, but Rami Malek's performance is generally loved by audiences.
Bohemian Rhapsody is available to stream on Hulu.
While Bohemian Rhapsody made Rami Malek a household name, many know him through his work on Mr. Robot. Malek plays protagonist Elliot Alderson, a cybersecurity engineer who is also privately a hacker. Malek plays the complex character with aplomb, and it shows his capabilities as an actor.
Though the show finished in 2019, it is still extremely popular, showing the impact Rami Malek's performance as the main character had.
Mr. Robot is available to stream on Prime Video.
Before portraying Sam in Until Dawn, Hayden Panettiere has played many roles, one of which was as Claire Bennet in Heroes. The show revolves around people who discover they have superpowers. Claire begins the series as a high school cheerleader with the ability to regenerate after being injured. The character is one of the central figures of the story.
Panettiere has been lauded for her role in Heroes, and it remains one of her most popular projects to this day. Fans of the superhero genre will enjoy this show greatly.
Heroes is available to stream on Peacock.
I Love You, Beth Cooper is about the day that follows after an unpopular young man named Denis professes his love for the titular Beth Cooper in his valedictorian speech. Denis then invites Beth to a party at his house, and they end up fleeing, along with three other friends, from Beth's ex-boyfriend, who wants to hurt Denis.
The movie is not extremely highly rated by critics, but it has found popularity among fans of romantic teen comedies from the 2000s. Panettiere is great as her character, providing the film with more comedic moments and heart. This movie helped to turn her into a star, alongside Heroes, which ran at the same time.
I Love You, Beth Cooper is available to rent on Apple TV+ and Prime Video.
Though he is perhaps better known for his musical work, much of which involves theater, one of Jordan Fisher's best roles is in To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You. He portrays John Ambrose, a former love interest of the main character who returns after years of being away from her.
Though not an antagonist in the film, John is an accidental source of conflict for the other main characters, and Fisher is fantastic and lovable. Jordan plays Matt in Until Dawn, and his many roles show his range as an actor.
To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You is available to stream on Netflix.
Before and partly after her portrayal of Ashley in Until Dawn, Galadriel Stineman was on The Middle. Unlike many other actors, though, she played two characters on the sitcom. The first was Lucy Howard, who only appears briefly as a high school student who accidentally prevents Sue from reaching her locker.
Starting a season later, Stineman portrayed Cassidy Finch, who plays a more prominent role in the series as a tutor and, later, girlfriend to Axl. Finch is a very funny character who provides excellent balance to the group of characters. The talented Stineman is right at home with the funny cast.
The Middle is available to stream on HBO Max.
Though she plays Jessica fantastically in Until Dawn, Meaghan Martin is perhaps best known for her role as Tess in Camp Rock. The film, inspired by High School Musical, is about a summer camp for musically talented teenagers. Tess serves as an antagonist in the film, which she performs very well.
She reprises her role in Camp Rock 2, albeit with less prominence than in the first film. Fans of the Disney Channel original movie are sure to remember her, and it is exciting to see the vast difference between this movie and Until Dawn.
Camp Rock is available to stream on Disney+.
Ten years before portraying Chris in Until Dawn, Noah Fleiss became more widely known for his role as Tugger in Brick. This character is one of the antagonists in the film and is an enforcer of another antagonist, the Pin. Tugger has an intimidating presence, often serving as a threat to the main character.
Noah Fleiss plays this character very well, being believable as a high school student who is involved in some sinister activities. It was not the first role to gain him some recognition, but the unique film certainly propelled him to new heights.
Brick is available to rent on Apple TV+ and Prime Video.
