“Route 60”: actors and roles. James Marsden as Neil Oliver
James Marsden is a pretty sought after American actor today. And he began his career in 1991 with episodic roles in TV shows and low-budget films: “Party for Five,” “Beyond the Possible,” “Enemy of Society No. 1,” etc.
The situation was changed by the role of Cyclops, which Marsden played in 2000 in the blockbuster X-Men. And although Cyclops is not a central character, James was still noticed by the directors: in the same year, the actor got his first major role in the detective story “Gossip”.
The film “Route 60”, the actors of which are mainly Hollywood celebrities, was released in 2002. The picture bears this name because the main character, Neil Oliver, is sent by a fairy-tale character to search for his happiness specifically on track No. 60. And all because Neil Oliver was completely confused in his life: he does not know what profession he should choose, which girl to meet, etc. Traveling on highway No. 60 will change the life of the protagonist and help him find his way.

The role of the character of American legends - no one O.Zh. Grant - went to the famous British actor Gary Oldman.
"ABOUT. J. Grant ”stands for“ One desire is guaranteed. ” In a word, Grant fulfills people's cherished desires. He comes to Neil Oliver at the most difficult moment in the life of a young man and adjusts his events in life so that Neil can finally find his calling.
Gary Oldman has played in many films that have long been cult. In 1986, he embodied on the screens the image of Sid Vicious in the drama "Sid and Nancy", dedicated to the era of the 1970s, and also partly to the history of the band Sex Pistols.
In 1987, Oldman played a no less provocative role in the film “Point Your Ears”: he appeared in front of the audience as a homosexual playwright Joe Orton.
Oldman is more familiar with today's audience by the role of Inspector James Gordon from the Christopher Nolan trilogy The Dark Knight.
Christopher Lloyd as Ray
In the film “Route 60,” actors Gary Oldman and Christopher Lloyd play characters who direct Neil Oliver in search of their destiny.
Only if O.Zh. Grant is a fantastic character, then Ray, played by Lloyd, is an ordinary person who first, using a usual card trick, changes Oliver's worldview, and then concludes a strange contract with him, according to which Neal must go to a non-existent city on a nonexistent highway.
Christopher Lloyd is well known to fans of the “Back to the Future” trilogy by Robert Zemeckis, because it was he who played the brilliant doctor Emmett Brown, who created the time machine.
Lloyd distinguished himself with his role as Max Taber in the film "flying over the cuckoo's nest." By the way, this film won an Oscar in five categories at once. Finally, fans of the Addams Family series know the actor as Fester Addams.

But this does not end the list of celebrities invited to the film “Route 60”. Actors Michael Fox and Kurt Russell also became active participants in the action, playing colorful characters that meet Neil Oliver during his journey along highway number 60.
Michael Fox became world famous back in 1985, when the first part of Robert Zemeckis’s film “Back to the Future” was released. In this film, Michael Fox got the main role - the student Martin McFly, who happened to be in the past and learn a lot from his parents.
Fox also starred in the series "Family Ties" for seven years. For work in this project, the actor was awarded many prizes: Emmys, Golden Globes, etc.
