In 2000, the football film Remember the Titans hit theaters and told an inspirational story. The film drew inspiration from coach Herman Boone, who took an integrated group of players from three area schools to the state championship title in 1971. Remember the Titans became an instant classic and grossed more than $136 million worldwide, becoming one of the most popular sports films.

Originally released in 2000, Remember the Titans had a cast stacked with talented actors that went on to find success in a variety of roles. Denzel Washington highlights the group due to his filmography both before and after Remember the Titans. However, several others have starred or featured prominently in several films and TV shows. So where are the main actors as of 2021?
