Meet the Cast of Apple TV’s ’12 12 12′ (With Photos)

Apple TV’s ’12 12 12′ cast brings together established leading men, festival favorites and genre veterans for a heist drama told across three timelines. The eight episode series follows the 12 months of planning, the 12 hours of the heist and the 12 days that follow. That structure puts a heavy load on the performers, who must carry the same story through preparation, execution and fallout.

Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan lead the ensemble, with Jack Kesy, Agathe Rousselle, Sallie Harmsen, José Garcia and Kali Reis among the others. Ólafur Darri Ólafsson and Patrick Fabian are also listed in the cast. The first two episodes arrive on November 13, followed by one episode every Friday through December 25. Here is a closer look at the key players.

Anthony Mackie

Anthony Mackie plays Jack Strickland. The character is a disgraced FBI agent who plays a game of cat and mouse across Europe with an American career criminal.

Mackie is best known for playing Falcon in the Marvel films, and his credits also include ‘The Hate U Give’ and ‘Synchronic’. He is an Emmy nominee and also serves as an executive producer through his Make It With Gravy banner.

The role also reconnects him with a familiar collaborator behind the camera. Director Kari Skogland, who helmed multiple episodes including the pilot, previously directed Mackie in ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’.

Jamie Dornan

Jamie Dornan plays Paul Galvin, the American career criminal on the other side of the chase. Their pursuit centers on a raid on a bank vault deep beneath the streets of Zurich.

Dornan is well known for playing Christian Grey in the ‘Fifty Shades’ franchise, and he also appeared in ‘The Fall’. He is a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Awards nominee and serves as an executive producer on the series.

The pairing is not a first meeting for the two leads. The series reunites Dornan and Mackie, who were co-stars in ‘Synchronic’. That shared history gives the central rivalry a footing that should carry across all three timelines.

Jack Kesy

Jack Kesy plays Bobby Galvin. The character shares a surname with Dornan’s Paul Galvin, though the available material does not spell out how the two connect.

Kesy is well known for his role in ‘Deadpool 2’ and has also appeared in the FX horror drama ‘The Strain’ and the TNT dark comedy ‘Claws’. His film credits also include ’12 Strong’ and ‘Hellboy’.

He was one of the earliest names attached to the supporting ensemble. By the time Kali Reis joined the project, Kesy was already part of the cast.

Agathe Rousselle

Agathe Rousselle plays Severine, and she works as both a journalist and an actress. Her casting adds a European presence to a story that moves across the continent.

Rousselle broke out in ‘Titane’, the body horror film that won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 2021. In that film she played Alexia.

She joined the series alongside Sallie Harmsen, who is known for ‘Blade Runner 2049’. José Garcia, whose credits include ‘The Ax’ and ‘Now You See Me’, rounds out an international lineup. The mix of nationalities suits a heist that spans several countries.

Kali Reis

Kali Reis is a professional boxer turned actress. She is an Emmy nominee for her work in ‘True Detective’.

Reis made her film debut in ‘Catch the Fair One’ in 2021, which she co-wrote and starred in. She also appeared in the thriller ‘Asphalt City’ opposite Sean Penn. Her path from the ring to the screen makes her one of the more distinctive additions to the ensemble.

Ólafur Darri Ólafsson of ‘Severance’ also joined the series, and he recurs in ‘Your Friends & Neighbors’ on Apple TV. Patrick Fabian is listed as Kevin McNeil.

With Mackie’s disgraced agent and Dornan’s career criminal circling each other across three timelines, share in the comments which member of the cast you expect to complicate the Zurich vault job the most.
