Cast of anchorman

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) stars Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy. The main ensemble includes Christina Applegate, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, and David Koechner.

Film and cast details

The comedy is set in a fictionalized local television newsroom in 1970s San Diego. Several actors appear in cameo roles, so “the cast” can mean the principal ensemble or the full credits.

How the film fits

The newsroom ensemble drives the film’s comedy: Ron Burgundy, Veronica Corningstone, Brick Tamland, Brian Fantana, and Champ Kind. The main performers are Will Ferrell, Christina Applegate, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, and David Koechner. Cameos are best listed separately from the principal cast.

Credits and versions

The movie’s principal cast is supported by brief celebrity cameos in its newsroom battle scene. A complete credits page can list these separately because they are not part of the core ensemble. The sequel has a different set of supporting appearances and should not be conflated with the 2004 film.
