Netflix’s Old Dads Movie Cast – 15 Main Actors

Bill Burr – Jack Kelly

Old Dads director Bill Burr also plays the leading role of Jack Kelly, a 50-year-old father who sold his business while trying to learn how to navigate a much more progressive world in 2023.

Struggling with his anger while learning how to maintain his relationship with his pregnant wife and son, he goes through plenty of struggles in his personal and professional life alongside his two longtime friends.

Bokeem Woodbine – Mike Richards

Completing the cast’s trio of friends is Bokeem Woodbine’s Mike Richards, who’s living the empty-nester life with two kids who are college graduates and a new young girlfriend.

Rachael Harris – Dr. Lois Schmieckel-Turner

Rachael Harris plays an important supporting role in Old Dads as Dr. Lois Schmieckel-Turner, the head administrator at the Little Hearts and Minds school that Jack’s son attends.

Brenner had a short run on the new version of Rugrats, although his most prominent appearance on TV came while playing Nelson Bighetti in 53 episodes of Silicon Valley.

Natasha Leggero – Kelly

Dana’s wife Kelly is played by Natasha Leggero, whose character questions many of Jack and Connor’s decisions about the fundraiser, including the suggestion to make it ’80s-themed.

Along with her long career as a comedian, Leggero boasts roles in a couple of big movies as well, such as He’s Just Not That Into You and Let’s Be Cops.

Miles Robbins – Aspen Bell

Miles Robbins’ Aspen Bell is the man who buys Jack’s company from him, taking things in a completely different direction, starting by firing anybody over a certain age and letting Jack and his friends go in the process.

The son of The Shawshank Redemption‘s Tim Robbins, Miles has made quite a career for himself as well with credits in Blockers and 2018’s Halloween.

C. Thomas Howell – Ed Cameron 

C. Thomas Howell gets to go full-crazy-person in Old Dads as Ed Cameron, who Aspen hopes will become the face of the new campaign he’s pushing with Jack’s old company – not wanting fame.

Howell is known by many for his roles in numerous classic ’80s movies such as E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Red Dawn, and The Outsiders.

Justin Miles – Travis Romine 

Bell’s business partner in this film is Justin Miles’ Travis Romine, who actually goes with Old Dads‘ core trio in search of Ed Cameron while showing that he may not be as progressive and up with the times as he lets on.
