It’s been a rough few years for fans of HBO’s Westworld. An epic HBO series adapted from the 1973 science fiction film of the same name, Westworld was first seen as the network’s next blockbuster series after Game of Thrones.
While showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy generated a passionate fanbase for the series after its first season, interest in Westworld began to decline as the show grew more complicated.Westworld was sadly canceled at the end of its fourth season, but it’s still remembered for its excellent cast and their respective characters. These ones are far and away the best of the massive cast.
Ashley Stubbs
As it turns out, charisma and action skills are family traits for the Hemsworths. Luke Hemsworth proved that he had the same acting chops as his brothers Chris and Liam with his effortlessly cool performance as the original Westworld security chief Ashley Stubbs.
Stubbs goes on one of the most interesting character arcs of the series, as he learns to question the nature of his identity after spending more time with Bernard Lowe (Jeffrey Wright). Even in the largely confusing fourth season, Wright and Hemsworths’ chemistry was one of the bright spots.
Charlotte Hale
Originally one of the Delos board’s most influential members, Charlotte Hale (Tessa Thompson) is later replaced by a cybernetic host version of herself under the control of Dolores Abernathy (Evan Rachel Wood). Both versions of the character serve as excellent villains within the series.
While the human Hale seeks to undermine Westworld’s original intent by spying on the guests and stealing their personal data, the host version starts a reign of terror that calls the show’s heroes to rise up in a battle to defeat her within the final season.
