The cast of 2000's Gone in 60 Seconds was a diverse mix of a-list celebrities and up-and-comers, but what have the stars of the classic heist film been up to since? Kicking off the new millennium with a bang, Gone in 60 Seconds re-imagined the crime genre with a modern twist and had a star-studded cast to back up its action. Despite casting stars like Angelina Jolie and Nicolas Cage in lead roles, the movie wasn't particularly well-received by critics, but it was popular with audiences nevertheless. Even if it was somewhat nonsensical, Gone with 60 Seconds became an early-'00s classic.
The movie performed well at the box office, grossing over $200 million (via Box Office Mojo) but was considered a flop because of its high production budget and marketing costs (via Slate). Often ranked among the best-ever car movies, Gone in 60 Seconds combined the high-octane thrills of street racing films like 2001's The Fast and the Furious, with classic heist premises from Hollywood's past. The result was a time capsule to the early days of the 2000s that had enough excitement and high-profile actors to make up for the film's lack of a coherent plot.
Nicolas Cage (Randall "Memphis" Raines)
Leading the cast of Gone in 60 Seconds, Cage was perfectly cast as Randall "Memphis" Raines, the former arch-criminal who reluctantly returned to crime. Fresh off a string of mainstream hits in films like 1996's The Rock, Cage had become a bona fide action star, and he would continue to play roles of that caliber throughout the 2000s. The 2010s saw Cage return to independent genre films, but he began to see a career resurgence in the 2020s through films like Pig from 2021. The best of Cage's movies often showcased his zanier side, and films like 2022's The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent showed his humorous self-awareness.
Angelina Jolie (Sara "Sway" Wayland)
Sara "Sway" Wayland was right in Angelina Jolie's wheelhouse, and she had just the right amount of grit to bring Randall's former flame to life. Jolie won an Oscar in 2000 for Girl, Interrupted, but Gone in 60 Seconds was the moment she became a movie star. Over the ensuing decade, Jolie rocketed to superstardom in films like Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in 2001 but pivoted to more critically accepted films like 2008's The Changeling which snagged her another Oscar nomination. Jolie continued acting into the 2020s and even found success as a producer and director on various feature films and documentaries.
Robert Duvall (Otto Halliwell)
Injecting classic Hollywood into the cast of Gone in 60 Seconds, Robert Duvall's turn as Otto Halliwell saw him exquisitely cast as the wise mentor to Memphis. Some of Duvall's best movies won Oscars like 1970's M*A*S*H* and 1972's The Godfather, and by 2000 he was already in his sixth decade in show business. Duvall continued working consistently throughout the 2000s and 2010s, and films like 2009's Crazy Heart called upon his natural charm and brilliant acting. Duvall worked into the 2020s and even made an appearance in the 2022 mystery film The Pale Blue Eye.
Will Patton (Atley Jackson)
Atley Jackson was the gruff former associate of Randall who had switched sides to join Raymond Calitri's crew, and Will Patton fit the character to perfection. Working consistently throughout the '80s and '90s, Patton found success in blockbusters like 1998's Armageddon before joining the cast of Gone in 60 Seconds. Also in 2000, Patton was part of the cast of Remember the Titans and his production schedule didn't slow all the way into the 2010s. He appeared as part of the 2018 Halloween trilogy and even had a recurring role on the extremely popular series Yellowstone.
Delroy Lindo (Detective Roland Castlebeck)
Detective Roland Castlebeck was a man on a mission, and his vendetta against Randall made things personal. That depth of character allowed actor Delroy Lindo to sink his teeth into the part, and he consistently stole every scene he appeared in. Lindo worked sporadically in TV and movies from the '70s through the '90s, and collaborated with director Spike Lee on films like 1992's Malcolm X and 1995's Crooklyn. Following Gone in 60 Seconds, Lindo continued to star in action films like Domino in 2005 and had a starring role in the TV series The Good Fight up until 2021.
Giovanni Ribisi (Kip Raines)
Giovanni Ribisi's best movies range from massive blockbusters to understated indie films, and he delivered the same level of quality in each. Ribisi appeared in Gone in 60 Seconds as Kip Raines, the little brother of Memphis who got his sibling into the movie's mess in the first place. Ribisi had previously appeared in blockbusters like 1998's Saving Private Ryan, and he spent the aughts alternating between small movies like Lost in Translation from 2003 to massive tent pole franchises like 2009's Avatar. Ribisi slowed down somewhat in the 2010s, but returned in 2022 to reprise his role in Avatar: The Way of Water.
Christopher Eccleston (Raymond Calitri)
British gangster Raymond Calitri needed a strong actor to play him, and Christopher Eccleston filled the role of the hardened criminal who set Memphis and the crew out on their impossible task. Eccleston had previously turned heads in the historical costume drama Elizabeth 1998, but he was a relative unknown outside the U.K. He would quickly turn to work predominantly in TV where he landed the title role in the revival series of Doctor Who for its first season. Eccleston entered the MCU as part of 2013's Thor: The Dark World, but mostly stuck to television as the 2010s rolled into the '20s.
Vinnie Jones ("Sphinx")
Former soccer star Vinnie Jones put his hardened image to good use when he appeared in the cast of Gone in 60 Seconds as the mortician with mutism known only as "Spinx". Jones had previously appeared in the cult-classic Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels in 1998, and by 2000 he had already been typecast as a go-to tough guy. He used his look to his advantage in movies like 2001's Snatch and delivered some of the best performances from an athlete in movie history. Jones continued to make several appearances a year and landed a recurring role on Law & Order: Organized Crime in 2021.
Timothy Olyphant (Detective Drycoff)
Timothy Olyphant was on the cusp of stardom in 2000, and his role as Detective Drycoff allowed him to diversify his filmography by playing Detective Castlebeck's dedicated partner. Movies like 1996's The First Wives Club showed off Olyphant's looks, but by 2000 he had begun to land roles that showed off his acting. Olyphant scored the lead role in the hit series Deadwood in 2004, and followed that up as the lead on Justified. TV was Olyphant's best asset, and he appeared in both The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett and nabbed a starring role in Daisy Jones and the Six in 2023.
Chi McBride (Donny Astricky)
The Gone in 60 Seconds cast was rounded out by a veteran character actor in the form of Chi McBride. McBride played Donny Astricky, a driving instructor who came back to a life of crime to help Memphis. By far the silliest character in the film, McBride had already gotten attention for films like 1992's The Frighteners, and he would continue to flex his character work on TV shows like House and Psych. In the 2010s, McBride began working frequently as a voice actor and contributed characters to various Marvel animated projects.
