Here’s every A-list actor mentioned in the Epstein files

The shadow of Jeffrey Epstein continues to loom over Hollywood, as a massive new archive released by the Department of Justice sends shockwaves through an industry already weary of systemic controversy. The disclosure—comprising millions of emails, photographs, and internal documents—serves as a stark reminder of the late financier’s extensive social reach, pulling some of Tinseltown’s most recognizable names back into the headlines.

In a pivotal February 14, 2026, update to Congress, federal officials confirmed they have finalized a list of 305 prominent figures referenced within the 3.5-million-page cache. The roster is a sprawling cross-section of global influence, featuring Academy Award winners, recording icons, and political titans. However, the Department of Justice has been careful to issue a critical caveat: appearing in the files is not an indicator of criminal conduct or personal wrongdoing.

A Cross-Generational Archive

The documents are notable for their sheer breadth, referencing individuals across multiple eras of entertainment. In a testament to the archive’s complexity, names range from Golden Age icon Marilyn Monroe—who died decades before Epstein’s criminal enterprise began—to cultural legends like Princess Diana, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson.

For an industry that has navigated the fall of Harvey Weinstein, the legal saga of Roman Polanski, and the tragic Rust on-set shooting, the Epstein files represent a new, blurry frontier where social networking and real-world scandal collide.

Dinners, Private Jets, and High-Profile Sightings

Among the living figures drawing renewed scrutiny is Kevin Spacey. The Oscar winner was famously photographed in 2002 alongside Ghislaine Maxwell and former President Bill Clinton at London’s Churchill War Rooms. Spacey has been vocal about the document release, taking to X (formerly Twitter) to advocate for full transparency.

“For those of us with nothing to fear, the truth can’t come soon enough,” Spacey wrote, expressing hope that the files would finally clear his name.

The archive also shines a light on the social habits of filmmaker Woody Allen. Records suggest that Allen and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, attended a 2010 dinner at Epstein’s New York residence. The guest list reportedly included Prince Andrew, journalist Katie Couric, and TV host George Stephanopoulos.

Email exchanges within the files show Allen discussing other filmmakers with Epstein, though the director has consistently downplayed the depth of the relationship. More controversially, emails from Previn to Epstein show her criticizing the #MeToo movement and directed harsh language toward the minor involved in the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal, rather than the former Congressman himself.

The Wasserman Emails: Flirtation and “Regret”

Perhaps some of the most specific evidence involves Casey Wasserman, the influential CEO of Wasserman Media Group, which represents global superstars like Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, and Kendrick Lamar.

Documents confirm Wasserman traveled on Epstein’s private aircraft and engaged in a series of flirtatious email exchanges with Ghislaine Maxwell in 2003. In one message, Wasserman asked Maxwell, “So what do I have to do to see you in a tight leather outfit?” while another exchange featured him telling Maxwell he “missed” her and inquiring about scheduling a massage.

Wasserman, who has not been accused of any criminal activity, issued a statement via the Associated Press expressing “regret” over the tone of the messages. He emphasized that the exchanges occurred more than 20 years ago, long before the public was aware of Maxwell’s role in Epstein’s predatory network.

A Growing List of Names

As the public combs through the final materials, several other familiar names have surfaced as having been mentioned within the records:

• Robert De Niro
• Amy Schumer
• Chris Tucker
• Alyssa Milano
• Whoopi Goldberg
• Minnie Driver

The Burden of Proof

Despite the intense public fascination, legal experts and federal authorities maintain that the existence of a name in a contact book or a flight manifest is not proof of a crime. To date, only Epstein and Maxwell have faced criminal charges related to these specific offenses.

As Hollywood’s elite wait to see if any further revelations emerge, the industry remains in a familiar position: forced to reconcile its glamorous public face with the uncomfortable associations found within the “disinfectant” of sunlight.
