Domhnall Gleeson plays Thomas McGregor, a new farmer who competes with Peter Rabbit (and all his antics) for the affections of a kind animal lover who lives next door, in "Peter Rabbit."
Domhnall Gleeson — who has an extensive resume primarily as a character actor — is the perfect person to portray Thomas. The 34-year-old Irish actor got his start on the stage before earning mainstream recognition as Bill Weasley in the "Harry Potter" film series. He went on to star in four Academy Award-nominated films: He played Caleb in "Ex Machina," Jim Farrell in "Brooklyn," Captain Andrew Henry in "The Revenant" and General Hux in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." He most recently reprised his role as Hux in "Stars Wars: The Last Jedi" — a film that earned $1.3 billion worldwide. Talk about impressive!
Rose Byrne stars as Bea, the girl next door and animal lover whom Thomas admires, in "Peter Rabbit."
Rose Byrne sure knows how to pick amazing projects! The 38-year-old actress has starred in a slew of blockbusters and hit films such as "Troy," "28 Weeks Later," "Insidious," "X-Men: First Class," "X-Men: Apocalypse," "Get Him to the Greek," "Bridesmaids," "The Internship," "Neighbors" and "Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising." In addition to her success on the big screen, Rose has also dominated the small screen with an Emmy-nominated performance on "Damages." Somehow, the Australian actress also still finds time to raise her two sons with longtime partner Bobby Cannavale. Superwoman!
Sam Neill stars as Mr. McGregor, an old farmer — and Thomas's father — in "Peter Rabbit."
Sam Neill has a long-established career in Hollywood. The 70-year-old New Zealand actor previously starred in big-screen hits such as "The Piano," "The Hunt for Red October" and the beloved classic "Jurassic Park" as well as small-screen projects like "Peaky Blinders" and "The Tudors." He's also been a happily married man for almost 30 years! Sam wed makeup artist Noriko Watanabe in 1989. They welcomed a daughter, Elena, in 1991. Sam also has a son, Andrew, from a previous relationship.
Margot Robbie plays Flopsy, Peter's middle sister who is nervous and awkward, in "Peter Rabbit."
Margot Robbie — who many view as Hollywood's newest "It" girl — is having a truly phenomenal year! The 27-year-old Australian actress first gained buzz when she starred in "The Wolf of Wall Street" in 2013. Margot went on to star in "Focus," "The Legend of Tarzan" and "Suicide Squad" before receiving critical acclaim for her work as Tonya Harding in 2017's "I, Tonya," which has led to best actress nominations at the Oscars, Golden Globes, SAG Awards and BAFTA Awards. Margot also has reason to celebrate in her personal life. The starlet married longtime boyfriend Tom Ackerley, a director, in December 2016.
Daisy Ridley lends her voice to Cottontail, Peter's youngest sister who is described as a "loose cannon," in "Peter Rabbit."
Daisy Ridley is truly living the dream after gaining worldwide recognition for her work as Rey in the "Star Wars" franchise in 2015. The 25-year-old actress was relatively unknown when she landed the role of a lifetime, having only previously starred on small British TV shows and in the film "Scrawl." Fans will be seeing a lot more of her though, as she's slated to star in "Ophelia," "Chaos Walking" and the final "Star Wars" film, "Star Wars: Episode IX," in the coming years. The dog mom of one, who's been dating her "Murder on the Orient Express" co-star Tom Bateman since 2017, has also been known to speak out on issues close to her heart, such as her battle with endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome. Go, Daisy!
Elizabeth Debicki stars as Mopsy — Peter's eldest sister, who is feisty and stubborn — in "Peter Rabbit."
Elizabeth Debicki may be playing a tiny rabbit in the film but Elizabeth is actually a very tall 6-foot-2 in real life! The 27-year-old Australian actress, who trained in ballet before switching to acting, first came onto the scene with her role as Jordan Baker in "The Great Gatsby" in 2013. She went on to star in "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.," "Macbeth," "Everest," "The Kettering Incident" and the blockbuster "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" in May 2017. She also drew raves for her work opposite Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie in 2016's "The Night Manager."
Matt Lucas takes on the role of Benjamin Bunny, Peter's cousin who is clumsy but cute, in "Peter Rabbit."
Matt Lucas has enjoyed many noteworthy roles during his career including the scorekeeping baby, Georgie Dawes, in "Shooting Stars," both Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee in "Alice in Wonderland" and its sequel, "Alice Through the Looking Glass," Nardole in the British sci-fi drama "Doctor Who" plus a host of characters on the wildly funny sketch comedy show "Little Britain." The 43-year-old character actor has also been successful in his personal life: Matt entered into a civil partnership with Kevin McGee in December 2016 (Elton John was there to celebrate!).
Sia is Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, a hedgehog, in "Peter Rabbit."
Sia might be giving voice acting a try, but music remains her claim to fame. The 42-year-old Australian star started her career as a singer in the Adelaide band Crisp in the mid-1990s. She has since gone on to release seven studio albums as a solo artist and collaborate with other performers on hugely successful tracks such as "Titanium" (with David Guetta), "Diamonds" (with Rihanna) and "Wild Ones" (with Flo Rida). The songwriter, who split from Erik Lang in 2016 after two years of marriage, is also a vegan advocate who has overcome addiction and depression.
