All Major Actors & Cast List for Netflix’s Eric

Netflix‘s Eric is a bizarre thriller featuring a missing child, an imaginary puppet, and more twists than you can shake Benedict Cumberbatch at. But, him aside, who’s in this show? Here are all the major actors and the cast list for Netflix’s Eric.

All Major Actors & Cast List for Netflix’s Eric

Benedict Cumberbatch as Vincent

Benedict Cumberbatch, who you’ll know from Doctor Strange, Sherlock, and many other shows/movies, rolls out his American accent to play Vincent Anderson. Vincent is a puppeteer whose son Edgar goes missing in 1980s New York. But is Vincent the worried father he appears to be? Cumberbatch also voices Eric, a puppet he’s invented for his show who becomes a little too real.

Gaby Hoffmann as Cassie Anderson

Cassie Anderson is Vincent’s wife, who actor Gaby Hoffmann describes as “trapped in a life that is ultimately not serving her because she thinks it’s what’s best for her son.” So when her son disappears, she’s driven – more so than Vincent, perhaps – to find him. You may recognize Hoffmann as Ali Pfefferman from Transparent or, if you’re a John Candy fan, as Maizy from Uncle Buck.

McKinley Belcher III as Detective Ledroit

Detective Michael Ledroit is the lead detective in charge of finding Edgar, and he’s prepared to follow every lead. That doesn’t mean he’s running around on wild goose chase after wild goose chase – he’s got the skills to uncover the truth behind Edgar’s disappearance. But he’s got his own secret, which, in the 1980s at least, wouldn’t do his police career any favors. He’s played by McKinley Belcher III, who you may have seen as Arlong in Netflix’s recent live-action One Piece series.

Dan Fogler as Lennie Wilson

Dan Fogler plays Lennie Wilson, a producer on the puppet show Vincent works on. The two are friends, but Vincent’s increasingly volatile temperament isn’t doing him any favors, and Lennie could have to decide which is more important, his friendship or the show. You may recognize Fogler from, among other shows, The Goldbergs and The Walking Dead.

Ivan Howe as Edgar

Edgar is Vincent and Cassie’s son, whose disappearance is at the heart of the show. His frustration at his parents’ failing marriage may have something to do with his situation. Was he kidnapped, or did he just want to get the hell out of there? He’s played by Ivan Howe in his first major screen role.

Those are some of the main performances, but there are a host of other actors in the show, too. Phoebe Nicholls (Fortitude) and John Dorman (City on a Hill) play Vincent Anderson’s mother and father, respectively. Meanwhile, Clarke Peters (Love Is) is George Lovett, superintendent of the building the Andersons live in.
