Hereā€™s Who Plays Who in Netflixā€™s The Union

The Union, Roxanne teaching Mike to shoot as she stands behind him, with sound suppressors on both their ears

Mark Wahlberg as Mike McKenna

Mike McKenna is a construction worker whose life is turned upside down when former high-school sweetheart Roxanne Hall turns up to recruit him into spy agency called The Union. That might seem a little unorthodox, but her agency is having a rough time of it. He’s played by Mark Wahlberg who, despite starting out as a singer and rapper, has been in so many movies, from Boogie Nights to Daddy’s Home, so you’re bound to recognize his face.

Halle Berry as Roxanne Hall

Roxanne Hall is Mike’s ex, who, in the twenty plus years since he last saw her, has been working as a spy. Despite her bottom-kicking professionalism, her feelings are absolutely going to figure into the situation.

She’s played by Halle Berry, whose movie credits include Monster’s Ball, several X-Men movies, Bond film Die Another Day, and many, many more. Though I’ll always remember her as one of the few actors who, despite of winning an Oscar, actually turned up to collect a Razzie.

As explained by Netflix, Berry and Wahlberg have been real life friends for years, but they’ve never worked together before. So those pictures of them together at the end of the movie aren’t Photoshopped.

The Union, Brennan and Colter in Netflix's show as actors and cast in a darkened room

Mike Colter as Nick Faraday

Nick Faraday is an experienced agent of The Union and Roxanne’s partner, in more than one sense. Don’t worry, Mike will take it in stride and it’ll be a complete non issue. I’m kidding, of course. He’s played by Mike Colter, who’s best known for playing Luke Cage in Netflix’s Marvel shows.

J.K. Simmons as Tom Brennan

Speaking of Marvel, J.K. Simmons, perhaps best known for playing J. Jonah Jameson in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy is Roxanne’s boss, Tom Brennan. He’s a little skeptical of Mike’s ability to suddenly become an agent.

Jackie Earle Haley as Foreman

Jackie Earle Haley is Foreman, The Union’s tech guy. Without his support, Roxanne and Mike would have a much worse time of things, though don’t expect him to start handing out exploding watches and machine-gun bagpipes. You’ll have seen him as Watchmen’s Rorschach or as Freddy Krueger in the middling A Nightmare on Elm Street reboot.
