The list of actors who have starred in Paul Thomas Anderson films throughout the filmmaker’s career is one of the most impressive you can find, and so is the cast of Licorice Pizza, who are bursting with talent at the seams.

To play against Haim is Cooper Hoffmann, the son of PTA’s longtime associate, the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, who plays a young actor named Gary Valentine.

Among the supporting cast of Licorice Pizza, impressive even for Paul Thomas Anderson’s standards, are Bradley Cooper as a famous film producer (and Barbra Streisand’s ex-husband) Jon Peters, Benny Safdie as a politician Joel Wachs, as well Sean Penn, Maya Rudolph, Tom is waiting, and Ben Stiller.
