Ripley is back! No, I’m not talking Aliens. I’m talking about Patricia Highsmith’s murderous con artist Tom Ripley, who’s now got his own Netflix series. But which actors are involved? Here are all the major actors and cast members for Netflix’s thriller series Ripley.
All Major Actors & Cast Members for Netflix’s Ripley
Andrew Scott as Tom Ripley
Malkovich and Damon aside, Tom Ripley has also been played by Dennis Hopper, Barry Pepper, and more. Here, he’s portrayed by Andrew Scott, who many will know as Moriarty from the BBC’s Sherlock or the priest from Fleabag. Tom Ripley is slightly less unhinged than Moriarty, but this con artist is absolutely not beyond murder. And since it’s based on Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley, the first Ripley book, you know Season 1 (set in the 1960s) is going to have a high body count.
Johnny Flynn as Dickie Greenleaf
Dickie Greenleaf is the errant son of a shipping magnate, who Ripley is charged with tracking down. He’s sort of acquainted with Ripley, but Ripley has talked up their alleged friendship, which may unravel when they actually meet. Greenleaf is played by Johnny Flynn, previously seen as David Bowie in 2020’s Stardust.
Dakora Fanning as Marge Sherwood
Marge Sherwood joins the cast of Ripley as Dickie’s girlfriend, and, unlike Dickie, she’s suspicious of Ripley’s true motives. Will she be another victim of his ambition? You’ll have to watch to find out. She’s played by Dakota Fanning, recently seen as Robert McCall’s foil in The Equalizer 3.

Maurizio Lombardi as Inspector Pietro Ravini
Inspector Ravini gets the briefest of namechecks in The Talented Mr. Ripley, but here, he’s a regular menace, threatening to tear down Ripley’s web of lies. He’s played by Italian actor Maurizio Lombardi, who you may recognize from Netflix’s WWII heist movie Robbing Mussolini.
