The Waterfront cast and character guide
Holt McCallany as Harlan Buckley
Holt McCallany stars as Harlan Buckley, the main character in The Waterfront. He is portrayed as a stoic and a believer of old school ways of power. He is not loud but his quietness is terrifying. He is naturally a proud character and even when his age starts to affect his health, he does not budge.
Holt McCallany has previously starred in Mindhunter, The Lincoln Lawyer, Fight Club etc.
Jake Weary as Cane Buckley
Jake Weary plays the character of Cane Buckley, Harlan Buckley’s son. Being the son of a man like Harlan, Jake has naturally been scarred throughout his childhood and his desire to prove himself to his father forms a good part of the storyline.

Maria Bello as Belle Buckley
Maria Bello stars as Harlan Buckley’s wife, Belle Buckley. Her character is shown to be the backbone of the Buckley family who holds everything together.

Melissa Benoist has previously been seen in Supergirl, Waco, Whiplash etc.
Brady Hepner as Diller Hopkins
Bree Buckley’s son, Diller Hopkins, is played by Brady Hepner. Given the number of years he has been away from his mother, Diller is naturally a teenager who harbors a lot of confusion and anger.
