The main actors in this film are:
* Michael Shannon as Jimmie G. "Jim" Lee (a role that launched his career).
* Willem DeFoe as Brad McCullum.
* Chloe Sevigny as Wendy Lee.
It is important to note that this movie was a remake of the 1993 film "My Son, My Son" directed by William Cottrell. The remake included actors from the original like Michael Shannon (Jimmie G. "Jim" Lee) and Chloe Sevigny (Wendy Lee). The new version, however, featured Willem DeFoe as Brad McCullum, a role played by Brad Dourif in the original.
