The cast of Logan's Run is made up by a mixture of familiar, veteran stars, some of whom were just getting started back in 1976. Both American and British actors make up the cast, possibly having something to do with America's Bicentennial that year. Whatever the reason, the casting is wonderful!

He learns from Computer that there are 1056 unaccounted runners who have escaped death. But, he also discovers that no one has ever been renewed at Carousel. He now knows that his entire life has been a lie! He is now assigned to become a runner seeking Sanctuary and to destroy it.

Farrah Fawcett-Majors as Holly13
"I like dark hair. Tell him to give you dark hair."
Farrah Fawcett-Majors plays Holly13, the sexy receptionist at New You #483, a sort of hi-tech plastic surgery shop within the City of Domes. Holly greets Doc's patients as they arrive for their instant make-overs and leads them to machines where they can preview their new future looks. Holly may not be the brightest person in the City of Domes, but she certainly has the right 'physical' traits to make her the most popular! You'll be in excellent hands with her. Believe me.
Now known simply as Farrah Fawcett, she has appeared in a wide variety of roles over the years. In print, in movies, television shows, etc., she was the original 'Supermodel' back in the mid 1970's. Amoung her most memorable accomplishments: Charlies Angles (1976), Saturn 3 (1980), The Burning Bed (1984) and Extremities (1986), in which she was nominated for a Golden Globe in the Best Actress Drama category.
"I'm as old as I am, I suppose."
Peter Ustinov appears as The Old Man, the only living human outside the City of Domes. He is a kind and gentle man who has made a home for himself (and his many cats) within the U.S. Capitol Building of a desolate Washington D.C. Not having seen any other people in his world for quite some time, he is amazed in meeting Logan and Jessica when they stumble into his home. And, of course, Logan and Jessica are equally shocked when meeting him, since they have never seen such an old man before.
Peter Ustinov may be best remembered as playing Hercule Poirot in Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile (1978) and Evil Under the Sun (1982), amoung numerous other Agatha mystery movies. He also appeared in Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus (in which he won one of his two Oscars) and in the successful Lorenzo's Oil (1992) with Susan Sarandon and Nick Nolte. An accomplished actor, writer, director, and producer, he departed this world on March 28, 2004.
"I'm more than machine, or man. More than a fusion of the two. Don't you agree?"
Roscoe Lee Browne stars as the 'overwhelming' robot, Box. He rules the Ice Caves just outside the City of Domes. Once human, he was fused with circuits and processors and became a servant droid for a people who have long since been forgotten. He's programmed to freeze and store a variety of foods (fish, plankton, sea greens and protein from the sea) and passes the time away by sculpting animals out of ice. When Logan and Jessica enter his world, they soon begin to realize the truth about Sanctuary and the missing runners.
Known mostly for his voice-over work, Roscoe Lee Browne has appeared in numerous movies, such as Jumpin' Jack Flash (1986), Moon 44 (1989), The Mambo Kings (1994), and was the narrator for the award-winning talking pig movie, Babe (1995). Sadly, Roscoe passed away at age 81 on April 11, 2007 after a long battle with cancer.
"Pay attention, Sandman. I'm proud of this machine..."
Michael Anderson, Jr. plays Doc, body reconstructionist from New You #483. Besides making citizens of the City look more attractive, Doc has secretly been helping Runners escape the Sandmen by giving them new looks on Last Day. Using the Aesculaptor Mark III laser machine, he gives them new faces and bodies so that they aren't easily recognizable to their Sandmen pursuers. Logan's quest for Sanctuary leads him to Doc, but it seems Doc has no intention of letting a Sandman get past this little secret!
Michael Anderson, Jr. is actually the son of Logan's Run director Michael Anderson. He has mostly appeared in TV movies such as "The Million Dollar Face" (1981), but most recently in "Undue Influence" (1996) and the Original Showtime Movie "Elvis Meets Nixon" (1997).
