What The Cast Of Pitch Perfect Is Doing Today

2012's "Pitch Perfect" tells the story of Beca, an aspiring music producer who reluctantly joins the all-female a cappella squad at her new college. There, she finds sisterhood, love, and her own voice — literally and figuratively. 

Based on a non-fiction book about the highly competitive world of college singing competitions, "Pitch Perfect" became one of those films audiences just couldn't stop talking about. Though it opened with a relatively small release, the movie quickly garnered critical acclaim and eventually rode a word-of-mouth wave to more than $115 million at the box office. It also managed to score a hit song in the form of "Cups (When I'm Gone)." Most impressively of all, "Pitch Perfect" helped make stars of several members of its young cast, and boosted some of its more established cast members into becoming even bigger Hollywood players. From the leading ladies to the scene-stealing supporting players, this is what the cast of "Pitch Perfect" is up to now.

After making a name for herself in her native Australia on comedy series like "Pizza" and "The Wedge," Rebel Wilson made the leap to Hollywood in the early 2010s. She quickly established herself as a scene-stealer in films like "Bridesmaids" and "Struck by Lightning." As Fat Amy in "Pitch Perfect," Wilson was again able to show off her talent for bizarre comic timing, but also her ability to handle romantic comedy, something that's helped to define her career since.

Not long after "Pitch Perfect" became a sleeper hit and made Wilson into a household name, she landed her own romantic comedy TV series, "Super Fun Night." Though it only ran for one season, it cemented her broad appeal as a romcom star. More films soon followed, including "How to Be Single," "Isn't It Romantic?," and the caper comedy "The Hustle," in which Wilson starred alongside Anne Hathaway.

In 2019, Wilson returned to Australian TV for the series "Les Norton." She has also appeared in the Oscar-winning "Jojo Rabbit," the now-notorious "Cats," and the Netflix comedy "Senior Year." Wilson has also explored reality TV by hosting series like "Last One Laughing" and "Pooch Perfect." Even amidst that busy schedule, she made her way back for both "Pitch Perfect" sequels.

Brittany Snow's breakthrough came more than a decade before "Pitch Perfect," when she was cast on the soap opera "Guiding Light" as a teenager. She worked throughout the 2000s on shows like "American Dreams" and "Nip/Tuck" and in films like "John Tucker Must Die" and "Hairspray," distinguishing herself as a uniquely versatile talent. As Chloe, the Barden Bella who brings Beca into the fold and therefore changes the game for the team, Snow continued to showcase her range: Kind-hearted Chloe is a far cry from catty Amber in "Hairspray."

Like her "Pitch Perfect" co-stars, Snow rode the wave of the film's success to various new opportunities, while also finding time to play Chloe again in both of the film's sequels. In the years since the first movie's debut, she's worked on TV series including "Ben and Kate," "Full Circle," and "Almost Family," and appeared in films ranging from military drama "Bushwick" to the romantic comedy "Someone Great." In 2019, Snow moved into directing: She helmed the short film "Milkshake," which she also wrote.

After spending the 2000s building his career through small film and TV roles and viral videos on YouTube, Adam DeVine broke through in a big way in 2011. That's the year he, alongside co-creators Anders Holm, Blake Anderson, and Kyle Newacheck, launched "Workaholics," a Comedy Central series that propelled him to new opportunities. A year later, "Pitch Perfect" came along, and his role as lead Treblemaker Bumper launched DeVine into even more impressive heights.

DeVine returned to play Bumper for "Pitch Perfect 2" and continued making "Workaholics" alongside his co-creators until 2017. He's been plenty busy with a host of other projects as well, ranging from films to TV series. On the big screen, DeVine has appeared in films like "Isn't It Romantic" (alongside "Pitch Perfect" love interest Rebel Wilson), "The Intern," "Why Him?," "When We First Met," and "Jexi," while his TV roles include his own series, "Adam DeVine's House Party," as well as "Modern Family" and "Drunk History." DeVine has also explored voice acting in animated projects: He's played Pizza Steve on "Uncle Grandpa," starred as Sam on "Green Eggs and Ham," and, most recently, voiced a key role on the animated comedy series "The Freak Brothers." Perhaps most impressively, DeVine scored a major role in 2019 as one of the title characters on the acclaimed HBO comedy series "The Righteous Gemstones."

In 2022, he reprised his role as Bumper in the Peacock series "Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin."

After beginning her career as a model, Hana Mae Lee built an acting resume through small roles on shows like "Mike & Molly" and "Workaholics" before landing the role of Lilly in "Pitch Perfect." Soft-spoken and eccentric, Lilly slowly reveals herself to be a scene-stealer among the Barden Bellas, especially after the rest of the team realizes she has incredible beatboxing skills.

Lee and her beatboxing returned for both "Pitch Perfect" sequels, but she's also used the years since the film became a hit to showcase her range as an actress and comedic performer. Her film credits include the horror-comedy "The Babysitter" and its sequel, "The Babysitter: Killer Queen," the hip-hop drama "Love Beats Rhymes," and the horror film "Phobias." Her TV credits include "Patriot," "Haunters: The Musical," "Perpetual Grace LTD," and "Those Who Can't." Lee has made it clear that she's interested in a wide range of projects: Not everyone signs on to a puppet-animated horror film ("Abruptio") and a crime comedy featuring nuns ("Habit") within the space of a few years, but that's exactly how Lee rolls.

Elizabeth Banks broke through in the early 2000s with a string of now-famous live-action roles in projects including "Wet Hot American Summer," "Spider-Man," "Catch Me if You Can," and "Seabiscuit." More roles, including a guest-star spot on "Scrubs" and a scene-stealing turn in the "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," soon came along to prove her comedy prowess. By the time "Pitch Perfect" arrived, Banks was one of the biggest stars in its cast. She was also, as a producer, one of the people most responsible for bringing the story to the screen in the first place.

The same year that "Pitch Perfect" was released, Banks co-starred in another megahit project: "The Hunger Games." This launched a sci-fi action franchise that helped keep her busy (and wearing fabulous wigs as the lovable Effie Trinket) for the next several years. She returned for each "Hunger Games" sequel and each "Pitch Perfect" sequel, making her directorial debut in "Pitch Perfect 2." In between these projects, she also found time for roles in "Power Rangers," "Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp," "Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later," and "The LEGO Movie." In 2020, Banks took on a dramatic role on the acclaimed FX series "Mrs. America," and has continued to build her resume as a director and producer through projects like 2019's "Charlie's Angels" reboot and 2023's "Cocaine Bear."

The vast majority of main cast members in the "Pitch Perfect" franchise are actors first and singers or dancers second, many of which are arguably just actors who sing if the role demands it. For Ester Dean, who plays Cynthia Rose in all three "Pitch Perfect" movies, however, her role came about in the exact opposite way — Dean is a career singer and songwriter whose general talent and charisma opened the door to cinematic success, as well.

Dean is not only a songwriter but a wildly successful one. Her Spotify page seems like any average playlist of 2010's hits compiled by any average fan, except that every song is written by Dean. Among many, many others, she has written "Countdown" for Beyoncé, "Firework" for Katy Perry, "Super Bass" for Nicki Minaj, and "Rude Boy" for Rihanna. Dean has also performed or been featured on her original songs, and when her prodigious output is combined with her uncanny knack for writing and production, it's easy to see why she's been practically showered with awards throughout her career.

Amazingly, Dean decided to put her songwriting career on hold while she filmed "Pitch Perfect," but just couldn't stop. While on set — again, while attempting to take a break from songwriting — Dean wrote "Invincible," for Machine Gun Kelly, which ended up becoming yet another massive hit for the truly invincible Dean.
