Sharpe (1993–2008) Cast Then and Now

Sharpe was a hugely popular ITV drama series based on Bernard Cornwell’s novels, following the rise of Richard Sharpe through the ranks of the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars. First airing in 1993 and concluding in 2008, it combined gritty military realism, sweeping historical action, and unforgettable performances—particularly from Sean Bean in the title role.

In this “Then and Now” retrospective, we look back at the full ensemble of Sharpe, exploring what became of the cast, where their careers led them, and who we’ve sadly lost. From core regulars like Daragh O’Malley, John Tams, and Jason Salkey, to guest stars including Daniel Craig, Emily Mortimer, Elizabeth Hurley, and Paul Bettany, this is a complete cast update of one of Britain’s best-loved period dramas.
