Published cast references name the actors below. This is a selected cast list, not the final release credits; absence from it does not prove that an actor has no involvement.
Source review: official RSI behind-the-scenes articles establish Hamill and Anderson as participants. Character names below follow the community-maintained Star Citizen Wiki, a secondary source. IMDb uses shorter wording for some roles. This site has not attended a recording session or played a review build.

Names that are not on the list
No reliable credit for Tommy Lee Jones or Kevin Spacey was found in the references used here. That is an unverified casting claim, not proof of an exhaustive final cast.
The cast wiki lists Rebecca Trejo as played by Eleanor Tomlinson. It does not establish that a search for "Aiden Trejo" refers to that character, so the two names should not be treated as interchangeable.
The 2018 cinematic trailer showcased the ensemble, but it was not the first public cast material: official Hamill and Anderson behind-the-scenes posts date from 2015 and 2016. The full secondary cast directory is linked below.
Questions I keep getting
Is Tommy Lee Jones in Squadron 42?
His involvement is not verified by the credited-cast references used here. Search suggestions are not casting announcements.
Who plays the admiral?
Gary Oldman plays Admiral Ernst Bishop on both lists.
