Clifton Collins, an American actor of Mexican and German descent, plays the Chinese-Peruvian Tendo Choi. The Wei Tang triplets are played by the Vietnamese/Chinese-Canadian Luu triplets. And, of course, the British Charlie Hunnam as the American Raleigh Becket.

* DeletedScene: A couple of scenes were deleted from the film, now available for viewing on DVD and Blu-Ray special features. Newt's introduction was originally longer with him and Raleigh antagonizing one another, and later on there was a scene between Chuck and his father Herc after the fight between Chuck and Raleigh where Herc chastises Chuck for his behavior only for Chuck to retaliate by claiming that Herc was a bad or at least often absent father and saying that wouldn't have anything to do with each other at all if it weren't for their drift compatibility. Without this latter scene Stacker's line about Chuck having "daddy issues" becomes more random and ultimately makes Chuck a less sympathetic character than he could have been.
