Actors

• Rashida Jones as Angie Tribeca: A headstrong, determined detective with a commitment to justice. Jones delivered a stoically hilarious performance.
• Hayes MacArthur as Jay Geils: Angie's dedicated partner who's equal parts earnest and dim-witted. MacArthur played the role with just the right level of clueless comedic charm.
• Jere Burns as Chet Atkins: LAPD Lieutenant in charge of RHCU who’s deadpan yet unpredictable. Burns masterfully managed to keep audiences guessing and laughing.
• Deon Cole as DJ Tanner: A detective who excels at the technical side of investigations. Cole's comic timing and expressive performances always a highlight.

Trivia / Interesting Facts
