‘Echoes’ Cast and Character Guide: Who’s Who in Netflix’s Binge-Worthy Thriller Series?

Settle into your binge-watching comfy clothes and fire up some popcorn, a new Netflix thriller series has arrived. Starring Michelle Monaghan as a pair of twins who have traded identities since childhood, “Echoes” builds a propulsive, twisty mystery.

It’s also got a cast full of recognizable faces alongside new discoveries — and with an overlapping triple-timeline narrative about two twins constantly pretending to be each other, you might need help keeping track of the characters too.

For a complete (and spoiler-free) guide to the cast and characters in Netflix’s “Echoes,” read on.

Michelle Monaghan as Gina and Leni

Michelle Monaghan pulls double duty in “Echoes” as twins Gina and Leni, who have swapped lives and identities (frequently) since childhood. However, when one of them goes missing, both lives quickly begin to unravel as long-hidden secrets and their tangled web of deception threatens to come to the surface. If you need a shorthand for which twin is which throughout the series, Gina is the one who usually has a smoky eye and Leni is the one who usually has a braid — however, you’ll have to rely on Monoghan’s impressive performances to let you know when one is pretending to be the other.

Monaghan has previously appeared in films including “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,” “Mission: Impossible III,” “Source Code” and “Gone Baby Gone.” On TV, she previously starred in “Boston Public,” “True Detective,” “The Path” and most recently, Netflix’s 2020 series “Messiah.”

Jonathan Tucker stars as Dylan James, another romantic figure tied to the twins’ past who has been in love with Gina since they were teenagers and makes an unexpected reappearance when Gina returns to Mount Echo.

Tucker has starred in films “The Virgin Suicides,” “The Ruins” and 2019’s “Charlie’s Angels.” He’s perhaps better known for his TV work, including “Parenthood,” “Kingdom,” “Snowfall” and “Westworld.”

Karen Robinson as Sheriff Louise Floss

Karen Robison stars as Sheriff Louise Floss, a longtime law enforcement officer in Mount Echo. A true-blue local who climbed the ranks while Gina and Leni were growing up, Sheriff Floss is naturally suspicious of the twins after the whirlwind of tragedy and destruction that has followed them over the years.

Robinson has a long and wide-ranging acting resume before “Echoes,” but is best known for playing Ronnie in “Schitt’s Creek.” She recently played Vee in “Titans” and Florence in “A Million Little Things.”

Ali Stroker plays Gina and Leni’s sister, Claudia, who was paralyzed in a tragic accident when they were all children, which turned her against Gina for life. In contrast, Claudia is quite close with Leni and lives at home with their father.

A Tony-winning actress, she made history in 2015 when she became the first actor who uses a wheelchair to appear on the Broadway stage in “Spring Awakening,” and again in 2019 when she became the first to win a Tony (winning Best Featured Actress in a Musical for “Oklahoma!”).
