Think back to 2000, when Remember The Titans first came out (in VHS no less), and let nostalgia fill the depths of your bones. From scene one, Remember The Titans reached out and mesmerized each and every one of us. Based on a true story, we watch as a high school football team integrates whites and blacks and not only forms lasting friendships but opens one’s mind to the racial tensions that gripped an era. Come with us as we stroll down memory lane and take a look at what the cast of the film are up to now.
First
Denzel Washington as Coach Herman Boone
Does Denzel Washington really need an introduction? Not likely. Considered one of Hollywood’s greatest actors, earning three Golden Globe awards, a Tony Award, and two Academy Awards; Denzel also is a seriously skilled director and producer.

Ryan Hurst as LB Gerry Bertier
We’ll always hold a special place in our hearts for Gerry Bertier, always. His character was one that spoke volumes because he showed us the capacity to gain a new understanding. Ryan Hurst is the man behind the character who has gone on to star in some pretty spectacular films and television shows. Such as Opie Winston in the drama series Sons of Anarchy, Tom Clark in Taken, and as Chick in Bates Motel.

Nicole Ari Parker as Carol Boone, Herman Boone’s wife

Earl C. Poitier as OL Darryl “Blue” Stanton
“Blue” is actually a classically trained trombonist and saxophonist – makes sense! Poitier did receive a B.A. in Music Education from The University of Tampa but afterwards, he fully committed to a career in acting instead. His most recent works is in Baywatch, Shots Fired, and The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.
