The 'Teenage Bounty Hunters' Cast Is a Mix of Newcomers, Seasoned Actors, and One Wu-Tang Member

From Esquire

Netflix is rolling out teen series after teen series, and its latest offering is Teenage Bounty Hunters. Much like Warrior Nun, it’s pretty much all there in the name: TBH is about fraternal twins Sterling and Blair Wesley, a couple of over-privileged, God-fearing Southern teens who, after damaging their dad’s car, pick up bounty hunting as their after school job. Under the tutelage of professional skip tracer Bowser, the sisters apprehend fugitive criminals while also dealing with private school intrigue.

The series is created by Kathleen Jordan and executive produced by Weeds and Orange Is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan, and features a cast that includes some talented newcomers, veteran TV stars, and one platinum-selling rapper. Here’s what you need to know about the cast of the series.

Maddie Phillips (Sterling Wesley)

Phillips is a 25-year-old Canadian-born actor with plenty of TV credits under her belt, including Netflix kids series Project MC2, Supernatural, Ghost Wars, and Van Helseing. But it looks like Teenage Bounty Hunters is her first starring role yet.

Anjelica Bette Fellini (Blair Wesley)

This actor and dancer is another newcomer, though she’s also appeared on five episodes of Fox’s X-Men spinoff series The Gifted before landing her role on TBH.

Kadeem Hardison (Bowser Simmons)

Hardison’s face is a familiar one to any fan of ‘90s TV—he starred as Dwayne Wayne in A Different World, the Cosby Show spinoff set at a historically Black college and ran from 1987 to 1993. He’s appeared on television consistently ever since, and currently also stars in Showtime’s Black Monday.

Myles Evans (Miles Taylor)

This 25-year-old actor has appeared in films and TV shows like Kevin (Probably) Saves the World and The Hate U Give.

Spencer House (Luke Creswell)

Fans of Netflix’s teen series will recognize House as football team member Clark from The Society. In fact, he’s something of a Netflix regular—House appeared in the streaming platform’s new comedy Space Force, too.

Devon Hales (April Stevens)

Resident high school mean girl April is played by newcomer Devon Hales, who’s also appeared in TV shows like The Resident and Stan Against Evil.

Virginia Williams (Debbie Wesley)

Williams is a veteran performer with tons of credits under her belt. After studying acting at Fordham and Shakespeare at Oxford University, she’s appeared on TV shows like As the World Turns, One Life to Live, How I Met Your Mother, and Charmed.

Mackenzie Astin (Anderson Wesley)

If Astin’s last name sounds familiar, that’s because he’s the brother of Lord of the Rings actor Sean Astin. And like his older brother, Astin’s been acting since childhood, when he starred on hit ‘80s sitcom The Facts of Life. More recently, he’s appeared on TV shows like Scandal, The Magicians, and Homeland.

Wynn Everett (Ellen)

This Atlanta native steals every scene she's in as Sterling and Blair's cheerful and deeply cringe-y teacher Ellen. She's also appeared on shows like This Is Us, Agent Carter, and Modern Family.

Shirley Rumierk (Yolanda Carrion)

Rumierk is a Harvard alum who hails from New York City. Before her role as bounty hunter boss Yolanda, she appeared on TV series like Rise and Manifest.

Method Man (Terrence Coin)

If Bowser’s rival bounty hunter looks familiar, it’s because he’s played by iconic Wu-Tang Clan member Method Man. When he’s not making music, Method Man does quite a lot of acting—he’s been in movies like How High and Garden State, and TV shows including Blue Bloods and CSI.
