Victor Garber played Thomas Andrews, the architect of the RMS Titanic who died on his own ship. Garber was a prominent actor before Titanic and has continued to act in films like Argo and TV shows like Legends of Tomorrow.

Suzy played Lizzy Calvert, Rose's granddaughter who takes her to the research ship. She acted in a few movies after Titanic and married Titanic director James Cameron in 2000.

What is there to say about Leo? He was the world's leading heartthrob for years as a result of his super-romantic turn as Jack Dawson in Titanic and finally won a long-deserved Oscar in 2016 for his role in The Revenant.

Kathy Bates played Margaret Brown, the new-money socialite who gave Jack a suit to wear to dinner and showed true bravery in the face of the ship's disaster. Bates remains an American treasure and is usually the best part of American Horror Story.

Kate Winslet lived every girl's dream as Rose in Titanic and continues to have a magnificent career; she will reunite with director James Cameron in 2020's Avatar 2.

Frances Fisher played Rose's money-hungry mother Ruth DeWitt Bukater and has been in films like Jolene, The Host, and The Lincoln Lawyer since.

David Warner played Spicer Lovejoy, Cal's villainous bodyguard who helped frame Jack for the theft of the Heart of the Ocean. Warner's been keeping a low profile for the past few years (this photo is from three years ago), but he'll appear in 2018's Mary Poppins Returns alongside Emily Blunt and Lin-Manual Miranda.

Danny Nucci played Jack's friend Fabrizio — you know, the one who got crushed by a falling smokestack — and currently stars on The Fosters.

Billy Zane was pitch perfect as Rose's awful fiancee Cal, whose money couldn't make him a decent person or partner. These days, Zane pops up on TV shows like Community and Legends of Tomorrow.

Bill Paxton passed away in February 2017 and is remember for many roles in addition to his affable treasure hunter Brock Lovett in Titanic. He also starred in Hatfields & McCoys and HBO's Big Love. Paxton's final film was The Circle, which also starred Emma Watson and John Boyega.

Bernard Hill played Captain Edward J. Smith, who famously went down with his ship. More recently he played the Duke of Norfolk in Wolf Hall and was in the ITV series Unforgotten.
