Callum Turner as Joe Rantz in The Boys in the Boat.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Boys in the Boat tells the triumphant true story of the American men's rowing team, including Joe Rantz, at the 1936 Summer Olympic Games. Callum Turner played Rantz in the 2023 biographical sports drama based on Daniel James Brown's 2013 book of the same name.
Aside from Turner as Rantz, some other central members of the cast of The Boys in the Boat included Joel Edgerton as Al Ulbrickson, Jack Mulhern as Don Hume, and Peter Guinness as George Pocock. The entire eight-person men's rowing team was featured in the film, but as mentioned above, Rantz was the star of The Boys in the Boat, given his distressing upbringing and inspiring persistence.
Did Joe Rantz Marry Joyce Simdars? The Couple Was Married Up Until Their Deaths Joe Rantz married his college girlfriend, Joyce, played by Hadley Robinson in The Boys in the Boat, on May 27, 1939, the same year he graduated from the University of Washington. By all accounts, their marriage was a happy one as they stayed together until they died in the 2000s. Additionally, the couple ultimately had five children together in the years following their wedding.
Since Rantz had a troubled childhood, as depicted in George Clooney's The Boys in the Boat, he was determined to give his kids a positive and stable life. His mother died when he was a toddler, and his father's next wife treated Rantz quite poorly. His father and stepmother abandoned him when he was a teenager, and Rantz was forced to provide for himself and put himself through school. Given his rough upbringing, Rantz wanted to give his children a better life, and he seemingly did.
