You have Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Simon Pegg, Stephen Graham, Dominic Cooper, Andrew Scott, Marc Warren, Colin Hanks, Jimmy Fallon and Dexter Fletcher who's gone on to be a success director. Not including the likes of Damien Lewis.

Most of those names aren't even in the series that much, Fassbender and Hardy appear in small roles. McAvoy in a one off episode. Some amazing talent and today judging their careers this show would be still top 3 in terms of quality.

Yes Ben Caplan is amazing actor as well.

It's well worth a rewatch just to see so many actors before they became famous, I think the most well-known actor at the time was David Schwimmer, known for his role as Ross from Friends, so many of the crew have eclipsed him since then!

Schwimmer was great in his role -- first running against type, then fitting it perfectly.

Yup, it was a very brave move for an actor with Schwimmer’s following to play an unlikeable role.
