Every Major Actor in Prime Video’s Jackpot

Noel (John Cena) and Katie (Awkwafina) in Jackpot, looking shocked.

Awkwafina as Katie Kim

Katie Kim is a former child actress who, after caring for her late mother, comes to LA to restart her career. However, she ends up becoming the winner of the California lottery’s biggest jackpot and has to survive the day to claim her prize. And if someone kills her before then? They get her prize money instead.

She’s played by actress and singer Awkwafina, who you may have seen as Katie in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Nora Lin in Nora From Queens.

John Cena as Noel Cassidy

John Cena is ex-mercenary Noel Cassidy, who now works as freelance protection for lottery winners. For a mere 10% of her multi-billion dollar winnings, he’ll keep Katie alive until she can claim her winnings. At least, that’s the theory, but when everyone in California wants her dead, it becomes quite the challenge.

He’s played by Cena, who, beyond his wrestling career, played the titular characters in DC’s Peacemaker and Ricky Stanicky, another Prime Video move. And like fellow wrestler-turned-actor Dave Bautista, he can actually act.

Simu Liu as Louis Lewis

While Noel’s more than capable of kicking ass, Louis Lewis, his former squadmate, has a whole army full of bottom-kickers in the cast of Jackpot. He runs a flashy hi-tech agency that safeguards lottery winners in return for a 30% cut of their winnings. So, he looks down on Noel.

This isn’t actor Simu Liu’s first turn acting alongside Awkwafina; he was cast in the titular role in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Ayden Mayeri as Shadi

Katie needs somewhere to stay when she heads to LA, and Shadi is the owner of the Airbnb she hires and a fellow actress. She’s also absolutely terrible, charging Katie to rent her clothes when the upstairs apartment’s sewage leaks onto her own. So, when she finds out that Katie’s hit the jackpot, she’s sure to be completely reasonable. She’s played by Ayden Mayeri, who you may have seen as Sam in the comedy Mr Throwback.

Donald Elise Watkins as DJ

Donald Elise Watkins (Fly Me to the Moon) is Shadi’s boyfriend, DJ, who is as heavily involved in her schemes as she is. So, if there’s money to be made from divorcing Katie’s head from her shoulders (guns aren’t allowed), he’ll be all in.
