* [[Ed Harris]] as Christof.
:[[Dennis Hopper]] was originally cast in the role, but he left in April 1997 (during filming) over "creative differences". Harris was a last-minute replacement for him.<ref name="12mil" /> Hopper later stated that he was fired after two days because Weir and producer [[Scott Rudin]] had made a deal that if they did not both approve of Hopper's performance, they would replace him.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://sabotagetimes.com/tv-film/at-home-with-dennis-hopper | title=Farewell then Dennis Hopper | access-date=August 5, 2019 | archive-date=August 5, 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190805071652/https://sabotagetimes.com/tv-film/at-home-with-dennis-hopper | url-status=live }}</ref> A number of other actors turned down the role after Hopper's departure.<ref name="part2" />
* [[Noah Emmerich]] as Louis Coltrane, playing Marlon, Truman's best friend.
:Emmerich has said, "My character is in a lot of pain. He feels really guilty about deceiving Truman. He's had a serious drug addiction for many years. Been in and out of rehab." Very little of this is shown in the finished film, but several deleted scenes depict Louis actively expressing guilt over Truman's situation, and in one sequence, he spots Truman during his escape and purposely says nothing. His name is an [[Amalgamation (names)|amalgamation]] of two jazz musicians, [[Louis Armstrong]] and [[John Coltrane]].
