Production & Cast Highlights

A Masterclass in Supporting Cast

While DiCaprio commands the screen, the supporting cast provides the vital chemistry that makes the film work.

Jonah Hill as Donnie Azoff (based on Danny Porush) — a career-redefining role that earned him an Oscar nomination.
Margot Robbie as Naomi — her breakout role that turned her into a global superstar.
Matthew McConaughey in a five-minute cameo that steals the entire first act (don’t forget the chest-thumping hum).

Donnie gets into a public fight with Brad, and while Donnie escapes, Brad is arrested. Jordan also learns from his private investigator that the FBI is bugging his phones.

Jordan, however, cannot bring himself to quit and stays at the firm.
