Inside Job: Netflix Reveals Cast for New Series from Gravity Falls' Shion Takeuchi, Alex Hirsch
Netflix has announced the series regulars to its new adult animated series, Inside Job, which is coming from Gravity Falls’ Shion Takeuchi and Alex Hirsch.
The cast was revealed as part of a sneak peek shown during Netflix’s Studio Focus Panel at the Annecy International Film Festival on Monday, with Lizzy Caplan, Christian Slater, Clark Duke, Andrew Daly, Bobby Lee, John DiMaggio, Tisha Campbell, and Brett Gelman named as series regulars on the show. It officially marks the first project under Takeuchi’s deal with the streaming giant.
The dysfunctional team fronting the series consists of Reagan Ridley (Lizzy Caplen) who is described as Cognito Inc’s antisocial tech genius and “office weirdo.” According to Netflix, Reagan would “rather disarm a nuclear bomb than engage in small talk” but believes “the world could be a better place if everyone just listened to her.” This includes her father, Rand Ridley (Christian Slater), the disgraced head of Cognito Inc who “got fired after a paranoid downward spiral” and “spends his unemployment plotting revenge, starting flame wars with Richard Dawkins, and being the worst roommate ever to his daughter.”
As difficult as this father-daughter relationship is, Brett Hand (Clark Duke) is sure to bring some positive energy to the workplace, as Netflix describes this “genetically handsome” character as “a deeply sweet, caring guy who just wants everyone to like him.” He apparently caught the eye of the Deep State because “his Greek years trained him to fit the psychological profile of the ultimate sheep.”
Even in a workplace filled with reptilian humanoid shapeshifters and psychic mushrooms, there must be a CEO and J.R. Scheimpough (Andrew Daly) is the “crafty executive” behind the high-flying job. Scheimpough is described as a schmoozer, the type of person who can “breeze through any ethical quandary with his signature cheerful smile.”
