Cast of the departed

A cat-and-mouse thriller in which the cat and mouse are simultaneously hunting each other, The Departed revolves around an undercover cop infiltrating the Irish Mob and a police mole spying for the same gangland kingpin, each trying to identify one another. The procedural plotting of The Departed gave Scorsese plenty of opportunities to cast big stars as complex antiheroes on both sides of the law. The Departed is the movie that finally won Scorsese an Oscar for Best Director after losing the award at five previous ceremonies. That movie also earned him his first of three Oscar nominations for acting. Damon has starred in a wide range of movies, from the Bourne series of gritty spy thrillers to the sci-fi survival drama The Martian to the medieval epic The Last Duel. While Frank is a fictional character, his double life as a notorious Boston crime boss and an FBI informant is loosely inspired by real-life gangster Whitey Bulger. Madolyn Madden, the police therapist whom both Colin and Billy fall for, and the only major female role in The Departed , is played by Vera Farmiga. Farmiga broke out with her performance as a drug addict in Down to the Bone and received further recognition for her role in The Manchurian Candidate. Queenan is one of the few lovable, wholesome characters in The Departed. Winstone first gained notoriety for his turn in the cult classic rock opera Quadrophenia. The actor got his start with roles in films like Beetlejuice and Working Girl. A renowned character actor, Corrigan previously worked with Scorsese on Goodfellas and has also appeared in Superbad , Pineapple Express , and Seven Psychopaths.
