In 2006, the “Departed” thriller was released. The actors who starred in it are Hollywood celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, the famous Damon Matt and the well-known Jack Nicholson. By the way, The Departed is a remake of the Hong Kong crime drama Double Castling. The script was adapted and slightly modified by Monaghan William.
Drama The Departed. Actors and roles
The role of the main characters involved truly famous composition. These are DiCaprio, Damon, Nicholson, Sheen Martin and Baldwin Alec. I would also like to mention both Mark Wahlberg, who harmoniously blended with his role, and Vera Farmigu, who played a police psychologist. So who starred in The Departed? Actors (with photo) will be listed below.
Billy Costigan
The role of the protagonist Billy Costigan is played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Billy is an Irish police force from Massachusetts. He is specifically introduced into the criminal gang Costello, appearing in the film "The Departed." The actors coped with their roles perfectly, and thanks to them, the movie has its own exciting atmosphere. Costigan’s temper is quite hot-tempered. However, Billy is very responsive to people and with great understanding refers to their problems. At the end of the film, Billy Costigan was killed by one of Costello's associates, which no one knew about.
Colin Sullivan
The role of the Irish mafioso, which Frank Costello introduces into the police, is played by Matt Damon. Sullivan, along with Costigan, graduated from the academy and got a job in the police. But his intentions are by no means good. His main goal is to convey information to Frank Costello. This hero had a romantic relationship with Madolin, a police psychologist. According to the script, Sullivan was killed by Sean Digman in the final scene.
Frank Costello FBI Spy
Frank is the head of the Irish group in Boston. He is ruthless and callous, but in public does not show this. Smart. In his actions incredibly prudent. His right hand is Arnold French, ready to participate in negotiations and crimes. At the end of the film "The Departed", whose actors performed their roles excellently, it turns out that Frank is an FBI informant. Dying at the hands of his informant Colin Sullivan.
Police officers in the movie The Departed. Actors
Oliver Quinan, played by Martin Sheen, is the head of the police department that trains spies in Massachusetts. He always tries to tactfully communicate with his subordinates and provide them with all kinds of moral support when conducting briefings. Around the middle of the film, Oliver dies at the hands of the people of Costello, falling from a high tower.
His deputy, Sean Dignam, who was excellently played by Mark Wahlberg, behaves rather rudely not only with his subordinates, but also with higher people. His harsh nature is especially evident in the interview with Costigan and communication with him. In addition, to achieve his goals, he does not disdain and assault. However, he does everything he can to keep his spies alive and healthy.
The head of the investigation department is George Ellerby. He was played by the famous Alec Baldwin. He is a responsible person and is directly involved in the investigation of the Costello gang.
In the role of psychologist Madolin Maiden
The film "The Departed", whose actors are mostly men, is distinguished by an unusual female image. Madolin Maiden is a psychologist working in the police department. She had a romantic relationship with two main characters - Colin Sullivan and Billy Costigan. Instead of working as a regular doctor, she began to work in the police, motivating this by the fact that she wants to help not only individuals, but the entire society as a whole.
Movie script
As we wrote above, the script for the film The Departed, whose actors did a good job of their roles, was written by Monakhan William. This is a modified version of the work of talented Chinese screenwriters - Alan Makan and Chong Felix. However, it is worth noting that Scorsese Martin (director of the film) decided not to shoot the entire trilogy, but limited himself to the first part, killing all the main characters in it.
The film "The Departed" is a story about two policemen with an incredibly twisted plot. But unlike the original, the action takes place in the American city of Boston. Moreover, the place of events was not chosen by chance. It is in Boston that Irish immigrants live, who in the era of the Great Famine were extremely difficult to adapt to the realities of life.
