Aaron Taylor-Johnson “Silent Ties” (2006)

BBC

Known for Hollywood blockbusters such as Kick-Ass and Marvels Avengers:Age of Ultron i bet Taylor-Johnson wished he had super powers during his stint in casualty in 2006.

Minnie Driver “The Last Word” (1991)

BBC

A few years before earning an Oscar nomination for Good Will Hunting Minnie Driver appeared in an episode of Casualty as a patient with a bruised head. Think Casualty missed a trick in not getting her involved in a drink driving storyline then she would have been a drunk driver..

Brenda Frickr

In the early years of Casualty Brenda Frickr was a regular cast member playing the role of Megan Roach. She played the role for four years before leaving to pursue other projects. These projects included playing the much loved bird lady in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York and acting alongside Daniel Day Lewis in My Left Foot for which she won the Oscar for best supporting actress. Not bad going!

BBC

Forever known as the bumbling Spanish waiter from Fawlty Towers, Sachs made an appearance in 2008s Christmas 2 parter as a priest who was in debt to a loan shark. You know what to say Manuel “I know nothing!”

Daisy Ridley “And the walls come tumbling down” (2013)

BBC

In 2013 before heading to a galaxy far far away Daisy Ridley appeared in an episode of Casualty where her character gets caught up in a fairground tragedy. Hope she didn't require an X-Rey..

Before his job in the office or running across middle-earth on an adventure Martin Freeman first took a trip to A&E with what looks like quite a serious injury.

David Walliams “Love Hurts” (2003)

BBC

Actor, author and comedian David Walliams appeared in an episode of Casualty in 2003 though from the look of things there is not much to laugh about here.

Jerome Flynn “Living in Hope” (1991)

Sir Bronn of the Blackwater himself appeared in Casualty in 1991. After all that fighting in Thrones i’m surprised he's not a frequent visitor to casualty.

Danny Dyer “Love Is” (2012)

Before becoming Landlord of the Queen Vic in Eastenders Dyer worked at an all together different type of establishment. Must have done your nut in working there eh Danny?

Mcfly “Fathers, Mothers, Daughters, Brothers” (2005)

The pop group appeared as themselves after a fan ended up in the emergency room. Obviously she was the star girl of this episode.

Ray Winstone “Heartbreak Hotel” (1995)

BBC

The hard man actor who most recently appeared as the villain in Marvels Black Widow played a prisoner who fakes an injury so he can attempt to escape once in the outside world. We would expect nothing less from Mr Winstone..

Casualty celebrates its 35th Anniversary on the 6th September 2021.
