Our take on the waterfront cast

It looks promising

With a total of nine new actors added to the growing ensemble, The waterfront Cast is beginning to look promising, blending experienced actors with fresh faces. Holt McCallany of Mindhunter Rumor and Emmy-nominated Maria Bello anchor the ensemble as the Buckley family patriarch and matriarch. Melissa Benoist, shifting from her Supergirl persona, will likely excel as the complex Brie Buckley. Overall, it’s a diverse cast that should deliver some strong performances.
