Who is in the Roald Dahl movie cast?

Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey, Paddington) will star in the lead role of Dahl. Keeley Hawes (Bodyguard, Line Of Duty) will play Neal. And Outlander fans will be excited to learn that Sam Heughan, who of course plays Jamie Fraser, joined as film star Paul Newman (Newman worked with Neal, and the pair co-starred in 1963 classic Hud, which earned Neal an Oscar win and Neal an Oscar nomination).

Speaking about Heughan’s role when it was announced in 2019, producer Donall McCusker (The Hurt Locker) said: “We are delighted that Sam has joined us, he is the perfect actor to play Paul Newman and a terrific addition to our already wonderful cast.”
