The Boys season 3 cast: who will star in Prime Video’s superhero epic starring Anthony Starr and Jensen Ackles?
Your guide to The Boys Season 3 cast, how to know them and what to watch next
Adapted from Garth Ennis’ comics of the same name, the dark superhero series follows an ensemble cast of heroes and villains.
Here’s everything you need to know about the new and returning cast of The Boys.
Karl Urban
Who do they play in The Boys? Karl Urban plays William “Billy” Butcher, leader of the Boys – a vigilante group opposed to the arrogant, unstable and violent superheroes.
How do I know her? Urban is a prolific actor and you probably recognize him from appearances in JJ Abrams’ Star Trek films, Lord of the Rings, Pete’s Dragon or Thor: Ragnarok.
If I like her in it, what should I watch next? Urban starred in the sci-fi police series Almost Human, where he had great chemistry with co-star Michael Ealy. It was canceled before it had a chance to complete its overarching story, but the individual episodes are still fun.
Jack Quaid
Who do they play in The Boys? Quaid plays Hughie Campbell, a tech guy who joins The Boys after a superhero kills his girlfriend.
How do I know her? Quaid is best known for his appearances on vinyl, Logan Lucky and Scream (2020). He also played Tribute Marvel in The Hunger Games. His parents are Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid.
If I like her in it, what should I watch next? Jack Quaid voices Ensign Brad Boimler in Star Trek: Lower Decks. He’s really funny in it!
Anthony Starr
Who do they play in The Boys? Anthony Starr plays Homelander, the leader of the seven and the world’s mightiest hero. Privately he is a selfish sadist.
How do I know her? Starr is best known for The Boys, but you might recognize him from American Gothic or Banshee.
Erin Moriarty
Who do they play in The Boys? Moriarty plays Starlight, a Christian superhero who is one of the relatively few members of the Seven who has a genuine desire to help people.
How do I know her? Erin Moriarty has previously appeared in the television series Jessica Jones and True Detective, as well as in the films The Kings of Summer and Captain Fantastic.
If I like her in it, what should I watch next? Moriarty received special recognition for her supporting role in Captain Fantastic (not, as it sounds, another superhero film, but a film about a family forced to reintegrate into society after years of isolation).
Claudio Dumit
Who do they play in The Boys? Doumit plays Victoria Neuman, a recurring character in season 2 who was promoted to a starring role in season 3. Neuman is a senator who opposes superheroes in her public identity, but privately she has powers of her own – and uses them to assassinate anyone who speaks out against superheroes.
How do I know her? Doumit played Jiya Marri on the NBC series Timeless, a time travel adventure series created by The Boys showrunner Eric Kripke. She is also known for playing Farah Karim in the Call of Duty video games.
If I like her in it, what should I watch next? Timeless, although a very different style and sensibility to The Boys, is a lot of fun – Goran Višnjić and Paterson Joseph in particular are worth checking out.
Jensen Ackles
Who do they play in The Boys? Jensen Ackles plays Soldier Boy, a super-powered hero who has been frozen since WWII (essentially a riff on Captain America).
How do I know her? Ackles has appeared on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives, the sci-fi drama Dark Angel, and the superhero soap opera Smallville.
If I like her in it, what should I watch next? You might want to check out this little show called Supernatural that Ackles starred in…
