Divergent (2014 Film) Cast List

Divergent (2014 Film) Cast List

Shailene Woodley

Currently a cast member of the critically acclaimed drama series Big Little Lies, for which she was awarded an Emmy, Woodley has been working consistently in show business since the age of four when she began modeling for children's catalogues. Commercials followed, with acting closely on its heels, her breakthrough role coming in the popular series The Secret Life of an American Teenager, for which she received her first Primetime Emmy Award nominations as well as five Teen Choice nominations.

Woodley's first big screen role was in The Descendants, earning her a Golden Globe Best Supporting Actress nomination, before A Fault In Our Stars catapulted her to international superstardom. As well as being recognized globally as an actress, she is also an avid environmentalist.

Theo James

An English model, producer and actor, James is best known for his role in The Divergent Series, although he was easily recognized by young adult audiences before this due to his roles in both Underworld : Awakening and Underworld : Blood Wars. Before breaking into film, James appeared on several episodes of the drama series Downton Abbey.

Ashley Judd

Recently, Judd has become known as the face of the Me, Too Movement, due largely to her courage in blowing the whistle on producer Harvey Weinstein in a brave interview in the New York Times,; before stepping up her activism, though, Judd was a popular actress best known for her role opposite Matthew McConnaughey in the screen adaptation of John Grisham's A Time To Kill. Country music fans also recognize Ashley as the daughter of Nashville legend Naomi Judd, and sister to singer Wynona.

Zoe Kravitz

Kravitz was born into a showbusiness family; her mother, Cosby Show alumni Lisa Bonet, her father, rock music superstar Lenny Kravitz. She began modeling in her early teens and accidentally became a style icon at the same time, gracing the cover of fashion and lifestyle magazines and making her debut at the Met Gala before she turned twenty years old Like her Divergent co-star Shailene Woodley, Kravitz is also a cast member on Big Little Lies.

Jai Courtney

Australian Jai Courtney took the traditional route to the big screen - at least, a route that seems to be a tradition Down Under, appearing on daytime soap operas before his lucky break came, and he was cast opposite Tom Cruise in the movie Jack Reacher. After Divergent he joined the cast of Suicide Squad, as the comic villain Captain Boomerang. Very appropriate for an Australian.

Maggie Q

The ultimate female action hero, Maggie is easily recognizable as the eponymous star of the CW Network's action serial Nikita, but she cut her action hero teeth in Mission Impossible III, with Tom Cruise, for which she won a Best Supporting Actress Award at the Asian Excellence Awards ; and Live Free or Die Hark. She is also a successful model and was a fixture at the top of the FHM Magazine list of the one hundred sexiest women in the world every year. After finishing working on the Divergent Series, she returned to the smaller screen as CIA Case Officer Hannah Wells opposite Kiefer Sutherland in the drama series Designated Survivor.

Kate Winslet

Even the most devoted Kate Winslet fan would have to concede that she is not the most obvious choice for a science fiction action thriller; Winslet's early career was based mostly on period drama, Shakespearean tragedy, and English accidental humor, rather than dystopian blockbusters - in fact, she received her first BAFTA Award for her role as Marianne Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility. She attained global stardom after starring opposite Leonardo Di Caprio in James Cameron's epic historical drama Titanic. For most of her career Winslet played largely likable characters, but it was in playing a Nazi camp guard named Hanna in the movie The Reader that she achieved her greatest success, winning both an Academy Award and a BAFTA for the performance.
