Netflix’s upcoming adaptation of Harlan Cobin’s Myron Bolitar novels has added three series regulars: Jabari Banks (Bel Air), Chloe Fineman (SNL), and Jamie McShane (Task). The series has also cast Ben McKenzie (Gotham) in a recurring guest star role.
The four just-announced actors join Colin Woodell, KJ Apa, and Diane Guerrero, who Netflix previously announced as stars.
“After an injury ends his NBA dreams, Myron Bolitar reinvents himself as a sports agent—using charm, smarts, and a ruthless partner to navigate the high-stakes and dirty world of sports, where saving his clients often means risking himself,” reads Netflix’s synopsis.
Myron Bolitar Character Descriptions, Courtesy of Netflix:
- Colin Woodell as Myron Bolitar: A former college basketball star whose NBA career came to an abrupt end, Myron reinvented himself as a sports agent. He built his agency, MB Sports, on an unwavering belief in overlooked athletes, with the same heart and fierce competitive drive he once brought to the court.
- KJ Apa as Win Lockwood: Born into extraordinary privilege, Win walked away from the family business to build something of his own alongside his closest friend, Myron. Unflappable, endlessly resourceful, and fiercely loyal, he’s the one Myron turns to when clients find themselves in trouble.
- Diana Guerrero as Esperanza Diaz: A former professional wrestler turned Myron’s indispensable right hand at MB Sports. Armed with endless grit and razor-sharp wit, Esperanza is the backbone of the agency and the steady force keeping both Myron and clients in check.
- Jabari Banks as Dwayne Richmond: A charismatic tennis prodigy who experts anticipate will be among the best players in the world. He’s the star client at MB Sports and the picture of cool, from his signature shoes to his trademarked sunglasses.
- Chloe Fineman as Parker Quinn: Parker is a sports reporter for a major sports publication who has built a stellar reputation through hard work and an undeniable passion for the game.
- Jamie McShane as Detective Ray Dimonte: A seasoned NYPD homicide detective.
- Ben McKenzie as Gavin Pierce: One of the biggest agents in sports, Gavin was Myron’s agent during Myron’s brief professional career. Following Myron’s injury, Gavin dropped Myron, and the two have never reconciled their differences.
