Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, a reboot of the movie franchise based on the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, features a colorful group of characters played by an all-star cast. The Honor Among Thieves cast plays a party of characters who could have been written up in any Dungeons & Dragons campaign, and the charm and fun they bring to the roles is what makes the movie so watchable (even to those who aren’t fans of tabletop role-playing games).

The 2023 Dungeons & Dragons movie takes place in the magical world described in the RPG, following a party of thieves who commit petty crimes after a tragic event. Backstabbings, magical items, and heroic deeds ensue, and the tropes of Dungeons & Dragons come to life on screen in a way that satisfies longtime fans and intrigues newcomers. The characters in the adaptation represent staple figures from the game, and the cast picked to play them consists of a mix of recognizable and newer talents.

Chris Pine As Edgin Darvis

Birthdate: August 26, 1980

Character: Chris Pine leads the Dungeons & Dragons cast as Edgin the Bard. The character is on a quest to rescue his daughter and resurrect his wife. Edgin is a clever, funny, and mischievous leader who tries to think and talk his way out of situations rather than fight. Charisma is an important characteristic for bards, and Pine has that in spades.

Actor: Chris Pine is no stranger to franchise storytelling, leading the cast of the Star Trek reboot movies as Captain James T. Kirk and co-starring in the DCEU’s Wonder Woman films as Steve Trevor. He’s capable of comedy and drama and is an excellent lead for a role requiring both. He has also proven his versatility in spy movies like All the Old Knives and Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, comedies like Horrible Bosses 2, historical flicks like Outlaw King, and family features like A Wrinkle in Time.

Michelle Rodriguez As Holga Kilgore

Birthdate: July 12, 1978

Character: Character types in Dungeons & Dragons are referred to as classes, and Holga Kilgore is part of the barbarian class. It’s a type known for its physical combat abilities and no-nonsense atтιтudes. There aren’t many better choices for Holga in the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves cast than Michelle Rodriguez. Holga is the muscle in the Dungeons & Dragons cast and a surrogate mother to Kira, allowing Rodriguez to show more emotional range than usual.

Actor: Moviegoers know Michelle Rodriguez best as Letty Ortiz in the Fast & Furious franchise, in which she has appeared in seven films. She has also played similarly tough and sarcastic characters in Avatar and Machete. Rodriguez also has television experience with a role in Lost as Ana Lucia Cortez, joining in the second season as the leader of the tail section. Other movie roles include Widows, Resident Evil, and Alita: Battle Angel.

Hugh Grant As Forge Fitzwilliam

Birthdate: September 9, 1960

Character: The main villain of the Dungeons & Dragons cast is Forge Fitzwilliam, a rogue played by Hugh Grant. As the character’s class implies, Forge is a con man who turns on Edgin and his party early in the movie. He abducts Kira and becomes the ruler of the kingdom. His dashing leading man looks combined with a smarmy sense of humor works well for a character literally defined by having roguish charm.

Actor: Hugh Grant has played this type of devious villain before, in Paddington 2, but he’s better known for his romantic lead roles. He appeared in the Bridget Jones Diary, Sense and Sensibility, The Remains of the Day, About A Boy, and Four Weddings and a Funeral, winning a Golden Globe Award for the latter. He also earned a Golden Globe nomination for the HBO miniseries The Undoing (2021) and earned his seventh Golden Globe nomination for the 2024 horror movie Heretic.

Regé-Jean Page As Xenk Yendar

Birthdate: January 24, 1988

Character: Regé-Jean Page plays one of the signature character classes of Dungeons & Dragons: the paladin. His Xenk Yendar is a warrior who agrees to help Edgin and his party on their quest to save Kira in the Dungeons & Dragons cast. Unlike the rest of the party’s members, Xenk has no sense of humor, and his constant seriousness and stoniness in the face of the zany antics of the others in the group lead to many funny moments.

Actor: Regé-Jean Page is best known for his role as Simon Bᴀsset in Netflix’s Bridgerton. Page has experience playing a courtly gentleman, which is fitting for a paladin. Page’s early roles as an actor include an uncredited appearance in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 before getting a bigger role eight years later in Peter Jackson’s Mortal Engines. He also appeared in The Gray Man and has a role in Steven Soderbergh’s 2025 thriller Black Bag.

Justice Smith As Simon Aumar

Birthdate: August 9, 1995

Character: Simon Aumar is the requisite sorcerer of the party. Played by Justice Smith in the Dungeons & Dragons cast, Simon is part of the original crew of thieves at the beginning of the movie when Forge is still an ally. After they are betrayed and the group goes their separate ways, Simon returns to help Edgin and Holga in their quest. Smith has a twitchy, nervous sort of personality that works well for Simon, a sorcerer who is still not competent with all forms of magic.

Actor: Justice Smith plays Franklin Webb in the second and third Jurᴀssic World movies and starred in Pokémon: Detective Pikachu as Tim Goodman. On television, he had a main cast role of Chester in Generation and the lead role in the 2016 Baz Luhrmann Netflix series The Get Down. He also had a major role in the critically acclaimed 2024 science fiction movie I Saw the TV Glow and also appeared in Paper Towns and All the Bright Places.

Sophia Lillis As Doric

Birthdate: February 13, 2002

Character: Doric is a tiefling druid who joins the party in the Dungeons & Dragons cast​​​​​​. Tieflings are a humanoid race of creatures with tails and horns, and as a druid, Doric has nature-themed magical powers and the ability to shape-shift. As the newest member of the party, Doric is the audience surrogate to experience firsthand how incompetent the group can be, and Lillis plays her as clever in a way that’s always funny, never obnoxious.

Actor: Doric is played by Sophia Lillis, best known for her breakthrough role as Beverly Marsh (the teenage version who grows up to become Jessica Chastain) in It and It: Chapter 2. She also starred in the Netflix original I Am Not Okay with This. Other major roles for the young actress include Nancy Drew in Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase, Gretel in the horror movie Gretel & Hansel, and Shelly Borden in the Wes Anderson movie Asteroid City.

Daisy Head As Sofina, The Red Wizard Of Thay

Birthdate: March 7, 1991

Character: Daisy Head dabbles in fantasy and horror as part of the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves cast in the role of Sofina, The Red Wizard of Thay. Sofina is the Dungeons & Dragons cast​​​​​​’s secondary antagonist but the most dangerous one as a necromancer and powerful magic user. She’s a frightening villain, and Head gives her a necessary otherworldly creepiness.

Actor: Daisy Head is a television and movie scream queen and a frequent actor in fantasy movies. She had a recurring role in Shadow and Bone on Netflix and has appeared in the Wrong Turn franchise, the Underworld franchise in Blood Wars, Ophelia, The Sandman (as Judy Talbot), and many other sci-fi, fantasy, and horror productions. In 2024, she appeared in the lead role of the historical television drama The Gray House alongside Mary-Louise Parker.

Ian Hanmore As Szᴀss Tam

Birthdate: October 16, 1953

Character: Ian Hanmore starred as Szᴀss Tam, the primary antagonist in the Dungeons & Dragons cast. While Hugh Grant’s Fitzwilliam was the main villain for most of the movie, it was Szᴀss Tam whose followers helped the man rise to power, and then it was time for him to unleash his evil on the world. This was a huge moment because Szᴀss Tam is a Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition villain who made his way from the RPG to the movie.

Actor: Ian Hanmore is best known for his role as the warlock Pyat Pree in Game of Thrones’ second season. He also played Master Thorne in two episodes of the Prime Video fantasy series Carnival Row. On the big screen, Hanmore has roles in The Magdalene Sisters, The Best Man, Citadel, and Mary Queen of Scots. In TV, he also had roles on In Plain Sight, Outlander, Shameless, Doctor Who, and Life on Mars. In 2025, he appears in the Paul W.S. Anderson movie In the Lost Lands.

The Dungeons & Dragons Animated Series Characters

Not all the characters in the Dungeons & Dragons cast are famous actors. Sometimes, the treat is that they are from a previous D&D property. In this case, it is the cartoon. There is a scene in the movie where the heroes have to make their way through a maze and survive an onslaught of dangerous beasts. There are two other groups that are also fighting for their survival, and one of them is the characters from the 1983 cartoon series.

They’re Hank the Ranger, Eric the Cavalier, Presto the Wizard, Bobby the Barbarian, Diana the Acrobat, and Sheila the Thief.
