Jay Baruchel plays Hiccup, the heart of the How to Train Your Dragon series. The relationship between the brave young Viking and his dragon, Toothless, is the foundation of the entire trilogy. Baruchel injects Hiccup with a type of humble courage that makes him one of the movie's most endearing characters.
Baruchel is best known for his roles in adult comedies like She's Out of My League,This is the End, and Tropic Thunder. The Canadian-born actor also starred in the FXX series Man Seeking Woman and the young adult adventure film The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
Astrid is Hiccup's love interest, but she's far from a damsel in distress. She's a tough-as-nails Viking warrior and dragon rider herself. Much of her ferocity comes from the actor who provides her voice, Emmy award winner America Ferrera.
Ferrera is probably best known for her starring role in the series Ugly Betty, but some might remember her from her Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants days as well. She's also a series regular on the NBC sitcom Superstore and has appeared in numerous other shows and movies.
Stoick is Hiccup's loving but sometimes overbearing father as well as the chieftan of their small village, Berk. While he used to slay dragons, Hiccup convinced his dad that humans and dragons can live together in harmony.
The fierce warrior is voiced by none other than Gerard Butler, most famous for playing the Spartan warrior King Leonidas in 300. Butler has had an interesting career that spans genres as varied as action and romantic comedy. You might have seen him in Olympus Has Fallen and its sequel London Has Fallen, or maybe you remember him from the tender hearted P.S. I Love You.
Ruffnut is a quirky tomboy who has a serious infatuation with Hiccup, one that is not reciprocated. She's one half of a twin duo, and her brother Tuffnut is very similar to her. They even share a two-headed dragon together.
This comedic character is given life by famed comedic actress Kristen Wiig. You'll remember Wiig from her roles in bawdy comedies like Bridesmaids, Ghostbusters, and Sausage Party. She's also appeared in more dramatic films like The Martian and Mother!.
First introduced in How to Train Your Dragon 2, Valka is the long-lost mother of Hiccup. Separated from her family, she learned the secret of dragon riding and fought to stop wicked dragon catchers.
Valka is voiced by the talented Cate Blanchett, known for her numerous dramatic roles. She played Hela in Thor: Ragnarok, and her dramatic resume includes roles starring roles in Elizabeth, Carol, and Blue Jasmine. You will likely recognize her as Galadriel in the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies as well. Wes Anderson fans will remember her from The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
Another newcomer introduced in How to Train Your Dragon 2, Eret first met Hiccup when he tried to steal Toothless. He was a minion of the evil Drago Bloodfist and worked against Hiccup, but he eventually came to understand the errors of his dragon catching ways.
Kit Harington got his big break playing Jon Snow on HBO's Game of Thrones, and he has since become an international phenomenon in his own right. He starred in the action thriller MI-5 and showed us his comedic talent in 7 Days in Hell. How to Train Your Dragon 2 was one of his first foray into the world of voice acting.
