Brooklyn Nine-Nine has landed on Netflix, so if you’ve missed out on this comedy cop show here’s your chance to binge it – well, the first four seasons anyway. Watching the show, you’ll spot a familiar face or two, so to clue you in, here are all major actors & cast members for Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

All Major Actors & Cast Members for Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Brooklyn Ninety-Nine's characters standing around in a bar.

Andy Samberg as Jake Peralta

Detective Jake Peralta is one of the show’s main characters, though not exactly its lead character since it leans towards being an ensemble piece. Played by the Lonely Island’s Andy Samberg, Peralta has the skills to catch criminals and unravel the show’s mysteries but his default setting is clowning around.

Stephanie Beatriz as Rosa Diaz

Rosa Diaz is a tough, talented detective who somehow manages to put up with Jake’s clowning around. Alongside Peralta, she could be considered another one of the show’s main characters. She’s famously private, keeping her colleagues in the dark as to… well, anything about her off-duty life. She’s played by Stephanie Beatriz who’s currently in Peacock’s Twisted Metal series as Quiet. No, not the one who breathes through her skin.

Andre Braugher as Raymond Holt

Raymond Holt is the precinct’s captain, with a no-nonsense, deadpan demeanour that naturally puts him at odds with Peralta. He’s played by Andre Braugher who’s had a massive number of TV and movie roles though I’ll always remember him as the disbelieving asshole neighbour from The Mist. Dammit, Brent, all you had to do was go and look at the tentacle!

Terry Crews as Terry Jeffords

Terry “Old Spice Advert” Crews is Terry Jeffords, a Precinct 99 sergeant, and the show absolutely plays into how built actor Crews is. He’s a courageous family man with a fondness for yoghurt, which the show uses as a running gag. Sadly, it doesn’t go meta with any Old Spice references, but you can’t have everything.

Melissa Fumero as Amy Santiago

Melisa Fumero plays Amy Santiago, a driven but sometimes panic-prone detective. Like a few of the show’s characters, she comes to blows with Peralta, but that leads to… well, you’ll have to watch it for yourself. Fumero also featured in the criminally cancelled M.O.D.O.K as the titular character’s daughter.

Additional Cast Members of Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Other recurring characters include Joe Lo Truglio as Charles Boyle, Peralta’s best friend and Chelsea Peretti as Gina Linetti, Holt’s assistant. That’s not all, though. An awful lot of people have lent their talents to the show, and it’s also known for its one-off cameos. But we’d be here all day if I listed every one of them, so here are all the actors that have cropped up in at least two episodes in a named role. And yes, that is I Think You Should Leave Now’s Biff Wiff in two episodes though, sadly, not as Detective Crashmore.
