I Used to Be Famous: The Plot

The synopsis provides a good idea of what to expect from the film. Vince, the former frontman of the boy band Stereo Dream, is at a crossroads in his life, and it appears that he and his new friend will find something they didn’t know they were looking for.

It mentions Vince being “troubled,” so did he fall down a rabbit hole like other young pop stars? Was there a scandal that led to his dismissal from the band? Did he leave to pursue a successful solo career, only to find that another band member was more popular than him?

I Used to Be Famous: The Cast

Vince, the former frontman of Stereo Dream, is played by Ed Skrein. He is best known for his role as Ajax in Marvel’s Deadpool, but he can also be seen in Alita: Battle Angel, Midway, and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. In flashbacks to Vince’s glory days, Stanley Morgan (The Sandman) plays a younger version of him. Stevie, the drummer, is played by Leo Long. He was chosen after a nationwide search that included director workshops and screen tests with Skrein. Long’s only other acting credit is from the television series Professor T.

Additional cast members include Eleanor Matsuura (The Walking Dead, Into the Badlands, Zack Snyder’s Justice League) as Amber, Eoin Macken (La Brea, Merlin, The Forest) as Austin, Lorraine Ashbourne (Bridgerton, The Crown) as Cheryl, Neil Stuke (Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan) as Dennis, and Kurt Egyiawan (The Exorcist, Skyfall) as Dia.

I Used to Be Famous: Trailer

The trailer provides more information, demonstrating Vince’s struggle to find himself and his career path.
