After several release date changes, Snowden finally opened this week. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is notably playing the infamous NSA whistleblower, but there's also an A-list supporting cast portraying some of the other main players in the national case. If you didn't follow the story as it unfolded, you may be curious about what some of the real people look like. Without further ado, here you go!
Gordon-Levitt doesn't bear a striking resemblance to Snowden, but stick some glasses on him and he's convincing enough.
Woodley was a great choice for Snowden's girlfriend, who has mostly stayed out of the spotlight — save for when she turned up on stage in 2015 to help accept the award for Citizenfour.
Poitras is the director/producer of Citizenfour, MacAskill is the Scottish journalist who reported on Snowden's case for The Guardian, and Greenwald is the American lawyer who contributed to the series of articles.
