The Outfit Cast & Character Guide
The crime drama thriller The Outfit boasts an impressive cast that audiences are sure to recognize from previous roles. Though the film is set in Chicago, it was filmed in London and has a variety of British actors and actresses in the cast. The Outfit has a mix of veteran actors and lesser-known faces in its ensemble, bringing the mid-century setting to life.
Directed by Graham Moore in his directorial debut, The Outfit focuses on Leonard Burling, an English tailor–or as he calls himself, a "cutter"–living in 1956 Chicago.

Burling seemingly doesn't mind this arrangement as the Boyles are his best customers, but after receiving a briefcase with FBI recordings threatening to expose the mob's operations, he must work to outwit the mobsters and survive the night. It's a stylish and thrilling film with similar vibes to the Kingsman movies, though without the level of humor as those films.
