Drama "The Departed". Actors and roles

In the role of the main characters, a truly well-known composition is involved. They are DiCaprio, Damon, Nicholson, Shin Martin and Baldwin Alec. I also want to mention Mark Wahlberg, who harmoniously blended into his role, and Vera Farmiga, who played a police psychologist. So, who was in the movie "The Departed"? Actors (with photo) will be listed below.

Billy Costigan

The role of the main character Billy Costigan is played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Billy is an Irish police officer from Massachusetts. He was specially introduced into the criminal group Costello, who appeared in the film "The Departed". The actors perfectly coped with their roles, and thanks to them the film has its own exciting atmosphere. The character of Kostigan is pretty quick-tempered. However, Billy is very responsive to people and has a great understanding of their problems. At the end of the film, Billy Costigan was killed by one of Costello's accomplices, whom no one knew about.

Colin Sullivan

The role of the Irish mafiosi, whom Frank Costello introduces into the police, is performed 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 the transfer of information to Frank Costello. This hero had a romantic connection 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 stale, but he does not show it in public. Clever. In his actions incredibly prudent. His right hand is Arnold Franch, ready to participate in negotiations and in committing crimes. At the end of the movie "The Departed", whose actors performed their roles excellently, it turns out that Frank is an informant to the FBI. Dies at the hands of his informant, Colin Sullivan.

Police officers in the film "The Departed". Actors

Oliver Quinan, played by Martin Sheen, is the head of the police department, which prepares spies in Massachusetts. He always tries tactfully to communicate with his subordinates and to provide them with every kind of moral support in carrying out briefings. Approximately in the middle of the film, Oliver dies at the hands of the Costello people, falling from the high tower.

His deputy Sean Dignam, who was excellently played by Mark Wahlberg, behaves rather rudely not only with his subordinates, but also with superiors. His harsh character is especially evident in his interview with Kostigan and his communication with him. In addition, to achieve his goals, he does not disdain and assault. However, he does everything he can to save his life and health to his spies.

The place of the chief of the investigation department is occupied by George Ellerby. It was played by the famous Alec Baldwin. He is a responsible person and is directly involved in the investigation of the Costello faction.

In the role of psychologist Madolin Madden

The film "The Departed", whose actors are mostly men, differs in an unusual female way. 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 an ordinary doctor, she began to work in the police, motivating that she wants to help not only individuals, but the whole society as a whole.

Scenario movie

As we already mentioned above, the script for the film "The Departed", whose actors coped well with their roles, was written by Monkan William. This is a modified version of the work of talented Chinese screenwriters - Alan Makan and Chong Felix. However, it should be noted that Scorsese Martin (film director) decided not to shoot the whole 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 action takes place in the American city of Boston. In this case, the place of events was chosen not accidentally. It is in Boston that Irish settlers live, who in the epoch of "Great Famine" were extremely difficult to adapt to the realities of life.
