Where Else You've Seen The Cast Of StartUp

In addition to its wide selection of original content, including gritty dramas, musicals, and beloved sitcoms, Netflix has also added several hidden gems to its catalog over the years. One of the newest series on offer at Netflix is "StartUp," which originally debuted in 2016 on streaming service Crackle. The show ran for three seasons and followed tech entrepreneurs who created a digital currency called GenCoin, which is basically a fictionalized BitCoin.

Although "StartUp" is technically a few years old now, it will be a new viewing experience to plenty of Netflix subscribers. Netflix added the show to its roster in May, and the ensemble cast features tons of familiar faces — including some actors who got their start on the show, then went on to other projects, but are now recognizable from those projects to people who are watching "StartUp" for the first time. Here's where viewers have seen the cast of "StartUp."

In "StartUp," Freeman plays Phil Rask, the FBI agent hellbent on taking down the team of tech entrepreneurs behind GenCoin. He played the role for the first two seasons. Although Freeman has a mix of roles on his resume, he's no stranger to playing government officials or other office workers.

Martin Freeman has had a variety of roles since he started acting in the late '90s. In addition to playing John in "Love Actually" and Tim Canterbury in "The Office" (UK), Freeman also played Declan in "Shaun of the Dead," Arthur Dent in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," Dr. John Watson in BBC's "Sherlock," and Bilbo Baggins in "The Hobbit" trilogy. He's also been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with his turn as CIA operative Everett K. Ross in "Black Panther" — a character he'll reprise in the 2022 sequel, "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever."

In "StartUp," Mira Sorvino plays Rebecca Stroud, who claims to be a NSA agent investigating Araknet but is hiding the truth about who she is and why she's so interested in their activities. Sorvino, an Academy Award winner, was one of dozens of women who spoke out against Harvey Weinstein and claimed to be blacklisted for refusing his advances — resulting in her career slowing down significantly after the early '90s. 

Still, Sorvino has acted in a number of recognizable and high-profile roles. In addition to her Oscar-winning role in 1995's "Mighty Aphrodite," she played one of the titular characters in "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion," as well as Kate in the TV mini-series "Human Trafficking," which earned her a Golden Globe nomination. Sorvino guest starred in "Psych," played Amy Whelan in "Intruders," and Vicki Gregg in "Stalkers." She also starred in "Falling Skies" and "Condor," and had a recurring role as Nicole Rosemary Page in "Modern Family."

Tony Plana plays Mr. Morales in "StartUp," concerned father to Otmara Marrero's Izzy. She's one of the three characters who invest in GenCoin with Araknet. 

Plana has had a long and lucrative career since he made his screen debut in the late '70s. To older audiences, he's perhaps best known for playing Luke Ramirez on the '90s series "Bakersfield P.D.," Luis Escobar on "Total Security," and Robert Santiago on "Resurrection Blvd." Younger audiences may know him as Omar from "24," Ignacio Suarez from "Ugly Betty," Alejandro from "Desperate Housewives," Benny from "Alpha House," Carlos from "The Young Pope," Victor from "The Fosters," or Ronnie from 2016's "Lethal Weapon" series. Plana also starred in Netflix's "The Punisher," "Playing with Fire," "One Day At a Time," "Superstore," and "Madame Secretary," among other prominent roles. Plana has even done voice work for classic series like "Clifford the Big Red Dog" and more recent hits like "Elena of Avalor."

In "StartUp," Kelvin Harrison Jr. plays Ronald's (Gathegi) son, Touie Dacey, who Ronald also strives to protect by getting involved with GenCoin. Harrison appears in Season 1 and part of Season 2, when he becomes the unfortunate victim of a tragedy.

Harrison is most recognizable for his roles in indie movies like "Luce," in which he plays the titular role, as well as the Netflix original movie "Monster." He also played Fred Hampton in "The Trial of the Chicago 7," David Cliff in "The High Note," and Teddy Greene in "Godfather of Harlem." Harrison starred in 2017's "It Comes At Night," 2016's "The Birth of a Nation," and 2019's "Waves." He had an uncredited role in "Ender's Game" and guest starred in "Into the Badlands," "Chicago P.D.," and "Shots Fired." Hayley Kiyoko fans may recognize him from her 2016 short "One Bad Night."

Addison Timlin plays Mara Chandler in "StartUp," Wes's (Perlman) daughter. She first appears in Season 2 as a recurring guest, then becomes a regular by Season 3.

Timlin has performed a handful of roles since her screen debut in the 2005 crime movie "Derailed." She played Charlotte Hanson in the short-lived medical drama "3 Lbs." and she played Emily Draper in "Cashmere Mafia." She's perhaps best known for her guest starring role as Sasha Bingham in "Californication," but she also played Rachel Lewis in the 2013 drama series "Zero Hour." In addition to her TV roles, Timlin has featured in a variety of movies, including 2014's "That Awkward Moment," 2019's "Life Like," and horror movies including "The Town That Dreaded Sundown" and "Depraved." She acted opposite Stanley Tucci in "Submission," a 2017 film about a predatory teacher, and she has a number of short films on her resume as well.
