Cast
- Mark Wahlberg as Charlie Croker, the team's mastermind who seeks revenge for John's death. He is described as a professional thief ever since he had baby teeth (a flashback shows a young Charlie stealing money from another kid).
- Charlize Theron as Stella Bridger, John's daughter and a "professional safe and vault technician". She uses technology to crack safes for various agencies, unlike John, who did the whole thing by touch. She reluctantly joins the team after she looks at a necklace which was a present from her father.
- Edward Norton as Steve, the "inside man" during the Venice heist. He later betrays Charlie, John, Rob, Lyle, and "Left Ear" and leaves them for dead.
- Donald Sutherland as John Bridger, Stella's father and a professional safecracker. His methods are "old-fashioned," handled entirely by touch. Steve kills him during a shootout in the Alps.
- Jason Statham as Handsome Rob. He is the team's premier wheelman. According to Charlie, he once drove all the way from Los Angeles just so he could set the record for world's longest freeway chase (a flashback scene shows Rob being chased down the freeway by dozens of police cars). In doing so, he got 110 love letters sent to his jail cell from women who saw him on the news.
- Seth Green as Lyle, a.k.a. "Napster". He is the team's technological genius. He claims he is the real inventor of "Napster", saying that Shawn Fanning, who was his roommate in college, stole the idea from him.
- Mos Def as "Left Ear", who handles demolition and explosives. His name comes from an incident during his childhood when he put too many M80s in a toilet bowl and lost the hearing in his right ear.
- Franky G as Wrench, a mechanic who Rob contacts to engineer the Minis to carry the gold. He also assists in planting explosives to drop the armored car into the subway, where he serves as the lookout.
- Boris Lee Krutonog as Yevhen, a jeweller and conspiracy theorist who is hired by Steve to help sell the gold. Steve shoots him after realizing that he knows too much about where the gold came from.
- Olek Krupa as Mashkov, a member of a Ukrainian mob family, and the cousin of Yevhen.

Famous quotes containing the word cast:
“I have a notion that gamblers are as happy as most people, being always excited; women, wine, fame, the table, even ambition, sate now & then, but every turn of the card & cast of the dice keeps the gambler alive—besides one can game ten times longer than one can do any thing else.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“What is the use of “good” painting? We want a spell cast upon the optical part of our existence! We seldom really see the world, but when we do, we become as still as a picture.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“There may sometimes be ungenerous attempts to keep a young man down; and they will succeed too, if he allows his mind to be diverted from its true channel to brood over the attempted injury. Cast about, and see if this feeling has not injured every person you have ever known to fall into it.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
