Meet the cast of Dead to Me
Christina Applegate as Jen
Dead to Me wouldn't be half the show it is without the brilliance and magic of Jen Harding portrayed beautifully by Christina Applegate. She is grubby, angry at the world, and every single one of her dialogs is layered with sarcasm. In the series, she begins a romantic relationship with Ben.
What makes season 3 even more special is that Christina powered through it while being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Christina's impeccable body of work includes shows like Married...with Children (1987-1997), Jesse (1998-2000), and Samantha Who (2007-2009). However, it was the role of Amy Green (Rachel Green's sister) on the mega-hit sitcom, Friends, that earned her an Emmy Award.
Some of her noteworthy films include Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004), Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013), Vacation (2015), and Bad Moms (2016).
Linda Cardellini as Judy Hale
Linda Cardellini as Judy Hale is downright fantastic and is Jen’s perfect partner-in-crime. Without Judy, there would be no Jen and vice-versa.
Full of quirks and antics, Judy is fun and lost but is the definition of a confidant and a best friend. To complicate matters further, Judy is in a relationship with Michelle (Detective Ana Perez's ex-girlfriend).
Linda appeared in famous television shows like Freaks and Geeks (1999–2000), ER (2003–09) and Bloodline (2015–17). She is, however, most popularly known for playing the role of Velma in Scooby Doo (2002).
Cardellini’s long list of supporting roles include movies Legally Blonde (2001), Brokeback Mountain (2005), Grandma’s Boy (2006), Kill the Irishman (2011), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), The Founder (2016), Green Book (2018), A Simple Favor (2018), and Avengers: Endgame (2019).
James Marsden as Steve and Ben Wood
The handsome James Marsden as Ben and Steve is superb. Steve is crafty and lethal whereas Ben appears to be a sweet, understanding, and empathetic soul. However, he does end up crashing his car into Judy and Jen's and then dashes off.
James Marsden rose to fame with his portrayal of Cyclops/Scott Summers in The X-Men series (2000-2014), The Notebook (2004), Enchanted (2007), 27 Dresses (2008).
Other supporting actors who are reprising their roles in Dead to Me are Diana-Maria Riva as Ana Perez, Brandon Scott as Nick Prager, Natalie Morales as Michelle (Judy’s girlfriend), Max Jenkins as Christopher Doyle, Sam McCarthy as Charlie Harding and Luke Rossler, Jen's older son and Jen's younger son respectively.
Dead to Me is created by Liz Feldman and big names like Will Ferreli, Adam McKay and Jessica Elbaum serve as executive producers of the show.
Season 3 of Dead to Me premieres on Netflix on November 17, at 3:01 am ET.
