Obliterated cast: All actors & characters
NetflixHere’s your guide to the Obliterated cast and the characters they play in the Netflix show.
If you’re a drinker, you’ll have experienced ‘the fear’: that gnawing anxiety over something that may or may not have happened while you were sinking pints, shots, and god knows what else.
For most people, it’s never anything catastrophic; maybe you threw up in an Uber or said something you shouldn’t have. In Obliterated, it’s a bit more serious: the fate of Las Vegas is at risk because they didn’t do their jobs.
Obliterated, from Cobra Kai writers Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg, is one of the great new TV shows on Netflix. So, here’s the cast.
Obliterated cast and characters
Contents
Shelley Hennig as Ava Winters
Shelley Hennig plays Ava Winters, a CIA agent who co-leads a special forces group investigating a nuclear threat in Las Vegas. She’s whip-smart, with an analytical mind and the skill of staying cool under pressure. Ava is the series’ female lead.
Hennig was a teen show staple back in the day, and is best known for starring in Teen Wolf, The Secret Circle, Unfriended, and When We First Met. More recently, she was in the Netflix satire The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window.
Nick Zano as Chad McKnight
Nick Zano plays Chad McKnight, Ava’s SEAL team leader. While Ava is the strategic team member, Chad is the brawn. He’s the tactical lead with a high level of motivation, which has earned him kudos in the squad.
Zano is also known for appearing in What I Like About You and his role as Dr. Nathaniel Heywood in the CW’s Arrowverse, particularly Legends of Tomorrow.
Paola Lázaro as Angela Gomez
Paola Lázaro plays Angela Gomez, the third member of McKnight’s inner circle who serves as a Marine Raider and sniper on the squad. If Chad is the bulldozer, she’s the scalpal.
Actor and writer Lázaro appeared on The Walking Dead as Juanita “Princess” Sanchez, as well as starring in the Lethal Weapon TV series and the great Aubrey Plaza movie Black Bear in 2020.
Terrence Terrell as Trunk
Terrence Terrell plays Trunk, a Navy SEAL and McKnight’s closest friend on the Obliterated squad. He’s an eccentric source of comedic relief who often interrupts missions to snack.
Terrell played Tim ‘The Titan’ Teslow in Batwoman, as well as appearing in B Positive, Black-ish, and Netflix’s First Wives Club.
Kimi Rutledge as Maya Lerner
Kimi Rutledge plays Maya Lerner, the Obliterated crew’s resident hacker and NSA genius. When we meet her, she’s looking to prove her value fresh out of MIT. She also has a pretty substantial crush on McKnight, but don’t tell her we told you that.
Obliterated is Rutledge’s first big TV role, having earlier appeared in Half Sisters, Shrill, and several short films.
Costa Ronin as Ivan Koslov
Costa Ronin plays Ivan Koslov, the main villain in Obliterated. He’s an arms dealer from Russia who is at the center of the Las Vegas nuclear threat. He’s the common enemy that bolsters the team to fight and win together.
Ronin is an actor and cinematographer who has also appeared in The Americans, Agent Carter, Agent X, and Homeland.
Alyson Gorske as Lana
Alyson Gorske plays Lana, a clubber in Las Vegas who ends up becoming a valuable asset to the Obliterated team due to her connection to Coslov.
Gorske has a leading role in Shudder’s horror series The Puppetman, and was also in Apple TV’s Shrinking and Devil’s Triangle.
Eugene Kim as Paul Yung
Eugene Kim plays Paul Yung, the team’s trusty Air Force helicopter pilot. Unlike his cohorts, he’s a family man who wants to strike the right work-life balance. That being said, he’ll get stuck in when a dangerous situation arises.
Kim has many TV credits and has also appeared in The Lincoln Lawyer, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, FBI: Most Wanted, and Major Crimes.
C. Thomas Howell as Hagerty
C. Thomas Howell stars as Hagerty, the crew’s bomb specialist who also happens to love Michael Bublé. As a former U.S. Army Explosive Ordinance Disposal technician and Master Sergeant, he’s a chaos merchant and a crucial member of the team.
You may have also seen Howell in The Outsiders, Soul Man, E.T. (he was one of the kids, Tyler!), and Netflix’s Old Dads.
Carl Lumbly as James Langdon
Carl Lumbly plays James Langdon, Ava’s boss and the director of the CIA. Langdon has total faith in her, but when the Vegas chaos starts to go down, even his belief in Ava is called into question.
Lumbly has enjoyed a long, diverse career, with roles in M.A.N.T.I.S., Doctor Sleep, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, voicing Martian Manhunter in the DC Animated Universe, and he recently starred in Netflix’s The Fall of the House of Usher.
