Starting things off with the most notable member of the child crop, John Boyega swapped Attack the Block's aliens for a very different kind in that galaxy far, far away. Joining Disney's sequel trilogy, Boyega played reformed stormtrooper FN-2187 (Finn) in Star Wars: The Force Awakensand its two sequels. While Boyega claims he's put down his lights...
Alex Esmail might not look like the most likely candidate to be a wrestler, but aside from playing the comedic Pest in Attack the Block, he's been known to rumble in the ring. Although the cast lost out to The Help for Best Ensemble at the 2012 Black Reel Awards, Esmail was named as No. 2 in Popcorn n Roses' list of rising stars in the same year. E...
For those who think they recognise Luke Treadaway, don't confuse him with twin brother Harry, who was Victor Frankenstein in Penny Dreadful. Aside from Boyega, Treadaway is arguably the most famous of the younger Attack the Blockalumni. Treadaway won the Olivier Award for Best Leading Actor thanks to the National Theatre's 2013 production of The Cu...
Franz Drameh already had an impressive notch on his belt by the time he was delivering pizza as Dennis in Attack the Block. His role in Cornish's movie came after he starred alongside Matt Damon in Clint Eastwood's Hereafter. Sticking with his trajectory to stardom, Drameh went from playing Dennis to starring alongside Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt in...
Simon Howard played the pint-sized Biggz and was the youngest member of the Attack the Block gang. Howard spent most of the movie hiding in a skip and comparing the alien invasion to the Gears of Wargames, meaning Biggz wasn't exactly the most prominent member of the gang. Unlike some of Attack the Block's bigger names, Howard hasn't had quite as m...
As the (relative) brains of the outfit, Leeon Jones' Jerome was the most "academically inclined" of the boys. Still, that didn't save him from meeting a grisly end at the claws of the aliens. Even though Jerome became a beloved member of the gang and made Jones a standout addition to the cast, that's where his acting story seems to end. To date, At...
As the intimidating Hi-Hatz, Jumayn Hunter's role in Attack the Blockwas as the gun-toting gang leader and main antagonist (ignoring the glow-in-the-dark aliens). Since playing the movie's big bad, Hunter has gone on to act in the likes of the 2019 Les Misérables TV series. Not to be confused with Tom Hooper's A-list movie from 2012, Hunter played ...
Paige Meade is better known by her stage name of Paigey Cakey – which she explained was her childhood nickname due to her perceived wealth. In Attack the Block, Cakey played Dimples, Tia's quick-tempered roommate and friend of the boys. Cakey has had a successful career since thanks to roles in Waterloo Road and urban drama Vs– where she played a b...
Danielle Vitalis – one the 30 young Black British stars selected for Digital Spy Rising – played the hardened Tia and served as Moses' (possible) love interest in Attack the Block. Vitalis has continued acting ever since, appearing in TV dramas Youngers, In the Flesh, and I May Destroy You. Although Michaela Coel drew much of the praise as Arabella...
Making up one half of the adorable double act of Probs and Mayhem was Michael Ajao. Reginald, aka Mayhem, had no problems running his mouth or keeping his cool in the midst of an alien attack. Leaving Wyndham Tower behind him, Ajao appeared in the short-lived police drama Cuffs. Elsewhere, Ajao had a bit part in Silent Witness and has recently fini...
