Mickey Haller is a go-to lawyer, but there’s one caveat: he runs his law practice out of his Lincoln. As Mickey continues to take on cases big and small, he also deals with his rather difficult personal life, which includes raising a daughter and dealing with his two ex-wives.
Starring Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey, The Lincoln Lawyer is everywhere right now, with the recent release of season 3 soaring through Netflix’s top 10 list. The Lincoln Lawyer just might be the thing you need to binge right now, and this is your opportunity to learn more about the cast and what they’ve had to say about the series!

Best known for: The Magnificent Seven (2016), Murder on the Orient Express (2017), Widows (2018) and A Man Called Otto (2022)

Born: July 4, 1978
Best known for: Ugly Betty (2006-2010), August Rush (2007), Mode After Hours (2008-2009) and Love Bites (2011)
Thoughts on The Lincoln Lawyer: “I have loved every minute of playing this character. From the very beginning, it was clear that there are so many layers to her. In Mickey’s phone, she is listed as ‘wife #2,’ and as the seasons have progressed it is clear that she is so much more than that.”

Character played: Cisco Wojciechowski
Born: February 12, 1979, in Sydney, Australia
Best known for: Where the Wild Things Are (2009), Fargo (2015), Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) and Bump (2021-2023)
Thoughts on The Lincoln Lawyer: “I’ve had as much fun as the audience discovering why and how Cisco has ended up working in this gray area of the law,” Sampson said. “Where sometimes you need to go around the obstacles in order to ascertain the answers.”

Character played: Izzy Letts
Born: February 11, 1988, in Stockton, California
Best known for: My Wife and Kids (2000-2002), Jericho (2006-2008) and The Quad (2017-2018)
Thoughts on The Lincoln Lawyer: “In the books, my character is this white surfer dude; clearly, I’m not a white surfer dude. They were playing around with the idea of having a woman driver to bring a little more female energy to it, which I’m super grateful for.”

Character played: Andrea Freeman
Born: November 15, 1982, in Harlem, New York City
Best known for: Take the Lead (2006), The Kids Are Alright (2010), In Time (2011) and The Butler (2013)
Thoughts on The Lincoln Lawyer: “When I read the scripts and I got a feel for Andrea’s personality, I was, like, ‘Oh my goodness, this woman is fierce.’ This woman is allowing me to tap into a place that I really haven’t given myself permission to go to, because we live in a world where women are oftentimes condemned for being too confident, too smart and too strong.”

Character played: Maggie McPherson
Born: October 3, 1973, in Ontario, Canada
Best known for: The Craft (1996), Scream Franchise (1996-2022), Wild Things (1998) and House of Cards (2016-2017)
Thoughts on The Lincoln Lawyer: “I like this character — I think she’s strong and she’s funny and she’s determined and she’s a fish-out-of-water,” Campbell shared. “She’s a cop from Los Angeles, who has ended up being sent to Catalina Island. I love that idea of going from one world into another and what that does to a person. So, I like the idea of that for her and the show.”

Character played: Hayley Haller
Best known for: Priorities Chapter One: Money Isn’t Everything (2021)
Thoughts on The Lincoln Lawyer: “I got to spend a lot of time with Manuel [during season 3], which was fun, and I got the chance to do a scene with the entire main cast, which is a first and something I wanted for a long time. So that was really nice.”
Lana Parrilla

Character played: Lisa Trammell
Born: July 15, 1977, in Brooklyn, New York
Best known for: Boomtown (2002-2003), Lost (2007), Once Upon a Time (2011-2018) and Atlas (2024)
Thoughts on The Lincoln Lawyer: “I played an evil queen for seven years on Once Upon a Time and then another sort of villain-esque character on Why Women Kill,” Parrilla shared. “This seemed like something that was outside of both of those realms, and that’s really good for an actor: to show just all types of diversity. I was intrigued immediately from a creative standpoint, because I was going to be able to play someone that I’d never played
before.”
