Cobb was especially good and believable, very charismatic too.

As for their careers, you act like it was solely up to them. An overwhelming majority of actors struggle their whole life. Plus, many would say they were already lucky enough to be in a Nolan movie. Many don't go further than toothbrush commercials.


People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefs

Alex Haw (Cobb) was studying to be an architect at the time and has gone on to do quite well in that field. You could say it's cinema's loss because I thought he was very charismatic and had great screen presence in this.
"The Young Man" and "The Girl" both had small roles in Batman Begins (Nolan's Uncle - the policeman/detective in Following - plays a Wayne Enterprises board member in all 3 Batman films). The Young Man has also been in Tenet and I think another fairly recent Nolan production.
None of them have really gone on to play the lead in anything major though. Arguably by choice in Alex Haw's case.
