He hasn't thrown away his shot.

When "Hamilton" became a rare Broadway juggernaut 10 years ago, the hip-hop musical launched its ultra-talented star and creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, into the pop culture stratosphere. In the decade since it opened on Broadway on Aug. 6, 2015, the show's original cast has similarly gone on to win Emmy, Grammy and Tony awards, and even been nominated for Oscars.

Miranda, who played Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, recently announced that the pro-shot of the musical (already on Disney+) will hit theaters Sept. 5. Before then, here's where else you have seen the familiar faces who brought history to life onstage:
