Michael Fassbender, Tom Hardy, Simon Pegg

James McAvoy was another actor who went on to success from this series.
Dexter Fletcher and Stephen Graham were pretty prominent British actors who I had recognized from much of Guy Ritchie's work (Snatch, Lock Stock & and Two Smoking Barrels) before seeing them in this.

"Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see."

And after the initial broadcast ended in 2001, if you'd asked viewers which members of the cast were destined for stardom, I doubt that anyone (outside of their immediate circle of family and friends) would have named Fassbender, Hardy, McAvoy or Pegg. Not that there was anything wrong with their work; it was just that so few people noticed them in the show. Back then, the names you were most likely to hear were Damian Lewis, Ron Livingston, Matthew Settle, Eion Bailey, Shane Taylor, Scott Grimes, Frank John Hughes and Ross McCall (and a few others, no doubt) before anyone else was mentioned.

Jimmy Fallon is in a scene also

Moriarty from Sherlock is Hall.

I actually love rewatching this yearly to see if any more actors have "made it" since I last watched. I always notice someone new.

Fassbender is great in anything he does.

most of the main characters were British:

Didn't realise that Jimmy Fallon was in it until recently.

He's the guy in the jeep who arrives with the much needed ammo just before they get cut off at Bastogne.
