Girl You Know It's True: Full list of cast in the movie

Girl You Know It's True, written and directed by Simon Verhoeven, was released in the United States on August 9, 2024. The approximately 2 hours and 4 minutes biographical film delves deeply into the contentious musical pair, Milli Vanilli, who during the late 1980s and early 1990s was embroiled in one of the most controversial scandals in music history.

The film explores the decline of Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan's careers as members of Milli Vanilli after their Grammy Award was revoked after it was discovered that they had lip-synced their songs throughout their short-lived career.

Girl You Know It's True highlights the events of the controversy and several other related events through re-enactments performed by several talented actors. These actors include Elan Ben Ali, Tijan Njie, Matthias Schweighöfer, and Graham Rogers.

Elan Ben Ali is fairly new in Hollywood and, hence, hasn't been part of many projects. Some of his projects include Descentes (2020) and Sons of Ramses (2022).

Matthias Schweighöfer plays Frank Farian in Girl You Know It's True, the infamous music producer who signed Fabrice Morvan and Rob Pilatus as part of the Milli Vanilli duo. Born in Kirn, Germany, Farian himself was a member of a band but did not receive much success. He then changed strides and became a music producer.

It is believed that Farian had signed Morvan and Pilatus in the absence of a legal counselor to aid the artists, which gave them little to no room for negotiations. They were told that they would be serving as the faces of the Milli Vanilli duo while other people would be singing for them. As the band grew in success, Morvan and Pilatus found it impossible to leave.

Matthias Schweighöfer is best known for his roles in projects such as Valkyrie (2008), Army of the Dead (2021), and Oppenheimer (2023).
