For a mini-series based on horror stories, Dustin Lance Black – the creator of God’s command – surrounded himself with a wonderful cast of actors, each stronger than the other. The series follows the police investigation into the 1984 murders of Brenda Lafferty and her 15-month-old daughter in Utah.
A strong Mormon population is concentrated in this state of the United States. This is the religion of the victim, the main suspect, namely his wife, one of the two investigators and the majority of the local police. Thus, the affair took a political turn, Mormonism being seen as a sectarian departure from Christianity.
But where have you already seen the actors of this mini-series?
Andrew Garfield (Detective Jeb Peary)
I will no longer introduce Andrew Garfield, who is one of the most famous members of the cast. Of course, this is one of the most famous incarnations of Spider-Man, a character he played three times: The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2, and Spider-Man: No Way Home, where he donned the suit in the film series. Worn by Tom Holland. We could also see it on Social Network, You Shall Not Kill or Tick, Tag… Boom!
Gil Birmingham (Detective Bill Taba)
69-year-old Gil Birmingham has an extensive filmography. He played Billy Black, Jacob’s father in the Twilight Saga. We also saw him in Comancheria, where he teams up with Jeff Bridges. He became a favorite actor of Taylor Sheridan, who cast him in Wind River in 2017 and who made him one of the antagonists of his series Yellowstone.
Sam Worthington Ron Lafferty
After the commercial successes of Avatar and Clash of the Titans, it’s surprising to see Sam Worthington in a role that’s at odds with the general public. We also saw him in Terminator Renaissance alongside Christian Bale. And already with Andrew Garfield You shall not kill. But will also meet Jessica Chastain and Helen Mirren in the case of Rachel Singer.
Daisy Edgar-Jones-Brenda Lafferty
Daisy Edgar-Jones has recently entered the audiovisual landscape. She can be seen as a young blind girl in War of the Worlds, a Canal+ co-production. But this is, above all, a wonderful discovery of the mini-series Normal People released in 2020. He plays there with his partner Paul Mescal, a story of love and passionate friendship that lasts for several years. In 2022, he changed the register by playing Fresh in the dark comedy.
Wyatt Russell Dan Lafferty
Before (briefly) portraying Captain America in Marvel’s Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Wyatt Russell excelled in small roles on television. Especially in an episode of Black Mirror where he plays a young man who agrees to try out a very scary augmented reality game to fund his world tour. We could also see him in a few episodes of The Walking Dead and Arrested Development. In cinema, he was in the credits of 22 Jump Street or even Overlord.
Billy Hole Allen Lafferty
Billy Howle is slowly but surely becoming a familiar face on the big and small screen. If he got his start on Glue, a relatively obscure English series, he went on to star in Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk before landing the role of Rey’s father in Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.
Rory Culkin Samuel Lafferty
Rory Culkin, brother of Macaulay and Kieran Culkin, already has a good career. We can see him in Signs by M. Night Shyamalan, Twelve by Joel Schumacher or even Scream 4. Fate wanted him to play Joel Schumacher in the Halston mini-series, 11 years after filming for him.
