Hunters Cast
Al Pacino co-stars in Hunters as Meyer Offerman, the mastermind of the mysterious Nazi-assailing group, the Hunters. For Pacino – a big screen legend whose awards accolades include one Oscar, five Golden Globes, two Primetime Emmys and even a BAFTA – this project represents a historic moment in his half-century-spanning career, marking his very first regular television role – well, not counting his roles on the 2003 HBO miniseries, Angels in America and TV movies such as Paterno and You Don’t Know Jack.
Logan Lerman (The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Fury) will play the show’s co-lead, Jonah Heidelbaum. The character will be thrust into the world of Nazi hunting when his grandmother is killed by a mysterious intruder in their apartment. This tragedy will send Jonah on a quest for vengeance, requiring the Nazi-hunter training of Pacino’s character.
Josh Radnor will play Lonny Flash, described as “a movie star who’s secretly a member of Meyer’s (Pacino) organization.” Radnor, the longtime co-star of CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, has since been fielding TV runs on NBC drama Rise and PBS Civil War drama Mercy Street. He was most recently seen in an episode of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy and co-starring in rom-com Social Animals.
Here’s the rest of the cast:
Kate Mulvany (Lambs of God, Secret City) as Sister Harriet, one of the members of the Hunters.
James Le Gros (The Passage, Drugstore Cowboy) as Detective Grimbsy, a veteran FBI agent and New York bureau boss to Millie (the previously cast Jerrika Hinton).
Ebony Obsidian (If Beale Street Could Talk, Tough Love) as Carol Hawthorne, “Jonah’s neighbor and romantic interest.”
Caleb Emery (Good Girls, Logan Lucky) as Jonah’s (Logan Lerman) friend, Arthur “Bootyhole” McGuigan.
