Oliver Stone's 1987 'Wall Street' succeeded in teaching us all that "greed is good." The film was carried by a tremendous cast -- one that holds strong nearly three decades later.

So from Bud Fox to the titan of the industry, Gordon Gekko, let's check out the cast of 'Wall Street' then and now.

1. Then: Charlie Sheen was coming off his first major film role in Stone's 'Platoon.' His role as Bud Fox, however, would quickly launch him on to the A-List.

Now: Sheen has been more known for his "tiger blood" and "warlock" ways in recent years than for his acting. After all the headlines and scandals,he's back to spoofing himself on FX's 'Anger Management' and in the upcoming 'Scary Movie 5.'

8. Then: Josh Mostel was Gekko's right-hand man, which was probably an unfortunate thing for him. Before landing 'Wall Street,' the son of legendary actor Zero Mostel carried roles in 'Sophie's Choice' and 'Jesus Christ Superstar.'

10. Terence Stamp played Gordon Gekko's nemesis, and ultimately was a big part in having him taken down. Everyone kneeled before Stamp after he played General Zod in 'Superman II.'
