Who stars in 'Pam and Tommy'?

To expertly recreate one of Hollywood's most famous love stories, creators of Pam and Tommy have tapped into a seriously impressive roster of actors. British actress Lily James, star of Just William, stars in Pam and Tommy as Pamela Anderson. Sebastian Stan of Winter Soldier fame was called on to stand beside her as Tommy Lee.

Aside from the show's two main stars, Taylor Schilling plays Erica Gauthier, Seth Rogen plays Rand Gauthier, and Nick Offerman plays Uncle Miltie. The show was developed by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, and despite being pretty much co-signed by Tommy, has received quite a bit of flack from Pamela.
