Cast
- Tammy Bruce as the United States Handicapper General
- Patricia Clarkson as the narrator
- James Cosmo as George Bergeron, Harrison's father. George's intelligence is way above normal, so he is forced to wear a handicap radio in his ear that sends out a sharp noise every twenty seconds or so, to prevent George from taking unfair advantage of his brain.
- Julie Hagerty as Hazel Bergeron, Harrison's mother. Hazel's intelligence is perfectly average without handicaps; she cannot think of anything except in short bursts.
- Armie Hammer as Harrison Bergeron. A genius and a fantastic athlete, Harrison has received both the heaviest physical handicaps and the most distracting mental handicaps of any citizen. In Vonnegut's story, he is 14 years old when he is taken by the "H-G men" and escapes a short time later; in the movie his escape takes place six years after his arrest.

Famous quotes containing the word cast:
“But first Elpenor came, our friend Elpenor,
Unburied, cast on the wide earth,
Limbs that we left in the house of Circe,
Unwept, unwrapped in sepulchre, since toils urged other.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“He cast off his friends as a huntsman his pack,
For he knew when he pleas’d he could whistle them back.”
—Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)
“indolence read as abnegation,
slattern thought styled intuition,
every lapse forgiven, our crime
only to cast too bold a shadow
or smash the mold straight off.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
