Blindspotting

On top of the protagonists Ashley (Jasmine Cephas Jones), Miles (Rafael Casal), and Shawn (played in the film by Ziggy Baitinger, in the show by Atticus Woodward), several other characters and actors from Blindspotting (2018) return in the show. Janelle (Candace Nicholas-Lippman) is referenced (but not seen) in the movie as the previous owner of the curling irons that Miles sells in the hair salon. Yorkie (played in the movie by Nyambi Nyambi, in the show by Anthony Ramos), another employee of Commander Moving, returns in Episode 1. Although Collin (Daveed Diggs) is stated to have moved to Montana, his mother Nancy (Margo Hall) appears beginning in Episode 2. Curtis "Cuttie" Cutworth (Lance Holloway), who buys the boat in the film, is revealed to have a day job as a bank employee in Episode 3, and reappears in Episode 7. Sid (John K. Moeslein), the rich "transplant" who has the same Oakland tattoo as Miles, appears as one of Janelle's dates in Episode 4. Additionally, Justin Chu Cary, who plays Tin in the film (one of the two men who prompt Collin to relive the night he committed the crime that got him arrested) plays a new character named Rob (also an employee of Commander Moving); Leland Orser, who has a very brief vocal cameo as a judge at the beginning of the film, plays Carl (the manager of the strip club where Jaylen Barron's character Trish works); and Zack Duhame, credited as "Officer Farmer" in the film, appears in the final two episodes as an unnamed prison guard.
