Taylor Selé (‘Survival of the Thickest’) as well as Pat Healy (‘Better Call Saul’) are the latest to join the growing cast of Ed Brubaker’s upcoming Prime Video series ‘Criminal.’
Criminal,’ adapted from the acclaimed graphic novel series by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, weaves a complex web of interconnected crime stories. The series has received multiple Eisner Awards for its compelling narratives and rich character development.
They join previously cast Logan Browning, Kadeem Hardison, Adria Arjona and Richard Jenkins.
Selé has been cast as ‘Royal,’ the manager of Sebastian Hyde’s gambling club, and he is sharp-dressed and menacing. Royal is ruthless and will do whatever he needs to protect himself and move forward in the underworld.
Healy has been cast as ‘Seymour,’ a veteran thief and one-time part of Leo’s (Hunnam) dad’s crew, Seymour does what he has to stay alive and get rich while trying to survive in the criminal world.
Browning will play Jenny, an Internal Affairs detective with a dry sense of humor and an absurdly calm demeanor. She presents as an even-tempered woman who appears to be without a care in the world. Jenny is very smart; her father was a criminal and she loves her job — which gives her the right to question, harass, terrify and imprison cops all day long. Jenny was raised with Leo (Hunnam) as her playmate/buddy/blood brother for life.
Hardison takes on the role of Gnarly, an old friend of the characters Leo and Ivan. Gnarly, a nickname from his boxing days in the 1970s, is a local legend known for his fierce demeanor and the limp he’s carried for years. Despite his age, Gnarly commands respect with his ability to cause significant physical harm and his authoritative presence.
Adria Arjona will portray Greta, a sharp-witted car thief and driver who is also a widowed mother. Struggling with her desire to leave her criminal life behind, Greta seeks one last big score to secure a better future for herself and her daughter, Angie.
Richard Jenkins is cast as Ivan, a former criminal and close friend of Leo’s father. Now battling dementia, Ivan relies on Leo for care, creating additional challenges for the younger man.
The series, directed by Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden for the first four episodes, is executive produced by Brubaker, Jordan Harper, Sean Phillips, Sarah Carbiener, and Phillip Barnett. Legendary Television and Amazon MGM Studios are also executive producers.
