Why The Cast Of Doctor Sleep Looks So Familiar

Mike Flanagan's adaptation of Stephen King's novel features a strong cast of recognizable actors, both major stars and supporting players we've definitely seen before. Things are about to get eerie as we figure out why the cast of Doctor Sleep looks so familiar.

The leader of the True Knot cult goes by "Rose the Hat," and she looks to be a formidable antagonist for Danny Torrance. In the film, Rose is played by Rebecca Ferguson, who started acting in a Swedish soap opera, but she's had plenty of stateside success over the last decade.

The Swedish actress is probably best known for playing Ilsa Faust in the newer Mission: Impossible films. She's also no stranger to horror roles, as she appeared in Life as Miranda North and The Snowman as Katrine Bratt. On top of all that, Ferguson has appeared in movies ranging from The Greatest Showman and The Kid Who Would Be King to Men in Black: International and Florence Foster Jenkins. In other words, Ferguson is an in-demand actress, talented, formidable, and the perfect pick for such a terrifying Stephen King character.

One of Danny's allies against the True Knot is Billy Freeman, a man who helps our hero cope with his alcoholism and fight against his inner demons. He takes on a similar role to Dick Hallorann from The Shining, serving as an older mentor striving to help Danny with his trauma.

In Doctor Sleep, veteran actor Cliff Curtis portrays Billy Freeman. Curtis got his big break in 1999's Three Kings, where he played Amir Abdulah. Since then, he's appeared in several movies and shows, where he's played roles like Pablo Escobar in Blow, Smiley in Training Day, and Travis in Fear the Walking Dead.
