All you need to know about the cast of The Man from Toronto
Headlined by Kevin Hart in a role perfectly suited to his persona, the film will also feature Woody Harrelson in a role that is opposite to Hart's. The latter joined the film after Jason Statham left the project in 2020. The first-look images released by Netflix also offer a glimpse at other Hollywood talent and additions from the worlds of MMA and music.
1) Kevin Hart as Teddy Jackson
Kevin Hart will be seen playing a down-on-his-luck salesman who gets mistaken for a professional assassin, which sets off a series of events that land him in cahoots with the actual assassin. To save himself and to protect his wife from dangers, he is forced to play along with the mistaken identity.
The famous actor and comedian has a plethora of screen credits to his name, including Undeclared (2001), Scary Movie 3 (2003), Little Fockers (2010), Ride Along (2014), Get Hard (2015), Central Intelligence (2016), the Jumanji film franchise, and many more.
2) Woody Harrelson as The Man from Toronto
The icy, antisocial titular assassin will be played by Woody Harrelson in the action-comedy, who will balance Hart's New York screw-up. With several accolades under his belt, the actor and playwright made his breakthrough in the role of bartender Woody Boyd on the NBC sitcom Cheers (1985-1993).
Harrelson's illustrious career has spanned television, film, and theater roles. He received three Oscar nominations for his roles in The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996), The Messenger (2009), and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017). He was also nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for his role as Marty Hart in True Detective (2014).
3) Kaley Cuoco as Anne
The Big Bang Theory famed actress Kaley Cuoco will be seen playing a small yet significant role in The Man from Toronto. Similar to her previous roles, Anne is a brash and outspoken character who has the potential to get Harrelson's icy assassin to open up.
Since 2020, Cuoco has appeared in the HBO Max comedic thriller The Flight Attendant, which has received widespread critical acclaim. Her film credits include Virtuosity, Can't Be Heaven, Growing Up Brady, The Hollow, Cougar Club, and The Penthouse, among others.
4) Jasmine Mathews as Lori
Jasmine Mathews will be seen in the role of Teddy's ride-or-die, who, for the most part, remains blissfully unaware of the trouble her husband is in. Mathews appeared in Heathers (2018) and The Tomorrow War (2021).
Other cast members include Hollywood legend Ellen Barkin, The Bold and the Beautiful's Pierson Fodé, Cuban-American musician Jencarlos Canela, and Tomohisa Yamashita.
