- Tom Cruise (Maverick) A young Tom Cruise booked one of his first major roles as Maverick in Top Gun. The actor played the Navy lieutenant after starring in Risky Business in 1983 and earning credits in Endless Love (1981), Taps (1981), The Outsiders (1983), All the Right Moves (1983), and Legend (1985).
- Kelly McGillis (Charlie) Tom Cruise found his Top Gun love interest in Kelly McGillis, who played Charlotte "Charlie" Blackwood. McGillis portrayed the astrophysicist after spending a few years in the industry, picking up credits in Reuben, Reuben (1983) and One Life to Live.
- Val Kilmer (Iceman) Val Kilmer joined Top Gun as Tom "Iceman" Kazansky, another lieutenant in the Navy who butts heads with Maverick. Kilmer came into the gig with just three onscreen credits to his name: 1984's Top Secret!
- Anthony Edwards (Goose) With a decade in the industry to his name, Anthony Edwards landed what would be a key role in Top Gun. The actor played Nick "Goose" Bradshaw, a close friend and comrade to Maverick, flying with the aviator until his untimely death.
- Maverick. Pete "Maverick" Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is Top Gun's main character, and his callsign perfectly encapsulates his personality. Maverick is a maverick, a character who lives his life independently and dangerously.
- Charlie. In comparison to the perfectly named Maverick, Charlie is not nearly as interesting. Charlotte "Charlie" Blackwood (Kelly McGillis) has a callsign that is simply a shortened version of her first name.
- Iceman. Tom "Iceman" Kazansky (Val Kilmer) has a callsign that fits his flying style and attitude. As Goose says to Maverick in the bar, "That's the way he flies, ice-cold, no mistakes."
- Goose. Maverick's best friend Nick "Goose" Bradshaw (Anthony Edwards) was long thought by some to have gained his callsign due to his goofy personality.
Hollywood : Gutsiest move I ever saw, Mav. Wolfman : [watching a video of planes being shot down] This gives me a hard on. Hollywood : Don't tease me. Maverick : There's Viper. Goose : Hey Mav, stay with Hollywood. Hollywood : Yeah Mav, stay with me. Maverick : Hollywood, you look good. I'm going after Viper.
