The prolific veteran film, television and stage actor, director and producer Esposito, in addition to his role as "Moff Gideon" on the Disney+ series "The Mandalorian," is well known by television audiences for his iconic portrayal of drug kingpin "Gus Fring" in AMC's critically acclaimed award-winning series "Breaking Bad." Some of Esposito's most memorable performances can be seen in films such as Rabbit Hole, The Usual Suspects, Smoke, The Last Holiday and Spike Lee's films Do the Right Thing, Mo' Better Blues, School Daze and Malcolm X.
Gunn played "Kraglin" in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) and its sequels in 2017 and this year, as well as providing the physical performance via motion capture for "Rocket Raccoon" in the films plus Avengers: Infinity War, Endgame and Thor: Love and Thunder. He also portrayed "Kirk Gleason" throughout the seven-year run of "Gilmore Girls" among his 60+ acting credits.
David co-starred as "Childs" in the 1982 horror classic The Thing opposite Kurt Russell and Wilford Brimley. He has won three Emmys and is a Tony award nominee. In addition to a solid body of on-screen live action work in films such as 21 Bridges, Crash and Platoon, he has made quite a name in voice acting, lending his talents to feature films like The Princess and the Frog and the Ken Burns documentary Jackie Robinson among hundreds of credits.
With her portrayal of "The Armorer" in "The Mandalorian" in the hit Netflix series "The Mandalorian," Swallow added another role to her growing resume. She also appeared as "Kim Fischer," a regular on "The Mentalist" and as "Amara / The Darkness" in the 11th season of "Supernatural." She also lent her voice to the role of "Lisa Tepes" in the animated Netflix fantasy action series "Castlevania."
Ward currently stars as "Buggy" in the action Netflix series "One Piece," following up on a three-year, 45-episode spin in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" as "Deke Shaw," the complex character who proved popular with fans. He also co-starred in the 2021 Netflix horror/drama mini-series "Brand New Cherry Flavor" and portrayed Charles Manson in the Lifetime TV movie "Manson's Lost Girls" in 2016.
Welliver starred in the title role in the decorated Netflix series "Bosch" and its current Freevee sequel "Bosch: Legacy." He's a familiar face to viewers, having appeared in more than 100 productions including Argo, Gone Baby Gone, "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," "The Good Wife," "Deadwood" and many others.
Suplee has had nearly 100 film and TV roles, from comedies like the Kevin Smith productions Mallrats, Dogma and Clerks III, "My Name is Earl," and "Boy Meets World" to dramas such as Remember the Titans and The Butterfly Effect.
Esfandi co-starred opposite Rosario Dawson, David Tennant and Mary Elizabeth Winstead in this year's Disney+ miniseries "Ahsoka," part of the Star Wars universe. He has also been seen in King Richard with Will Smith and The Inspection with Jeremy Pope and Gabrielle Union.
