In 'Oppenheimer,' Christopher Nolan marries his sharp writing with this to make his smallest characters vibrant.
The Big Picture In case you didn't hear, Oppenheimer has a stacked cast — stacked to a degree that we haven't seen since Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet back in 1996. It's one thing to have a top-level cast of main actors like Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr.
Christopher Nolan Uses Typecasting to His Advantage Beyond Oppenheimer's cameos, some characters do have larger roles in the movie's plot but are largely defined by their function in service to the plot rather than by their personality. Those roles, then, seem to have been filled with actors who have a consistent reputation for certain characters.
'Oppenheimer' Continues a Great Cameo-Casting Tradition While this film may have gotten a lot of press for having so many big names in small roles, this isn't really all that new an occurrence for a major film to do. If you look back throughout mainstream film history, there are some great instances of already reputable actors having small roles that drastically enhanced that role's quality.
