Who is in the American Gigolo cast?
Jon Bernthal stars in American Gigolo as Julian Kaye, a man seeking the truth after serving a 15-year prison sentence, while also navigating the sex industry. Gretchen Mol plays Michelle, Kaye’s love interest. Rosie O’Donnell, Lizzie Brocheré and Leland Orser also star in the show. The full cast is as follows:
Jon Bernthal as Julian Kaye
Bernthal told GQ he didn’t necessarily think he was right for the role of escort Julian Kaye. “I do not believe that I possess any kind of natural sex appeal,” Bernthal told the magazine, likely leading to defiant cries across the world. “I’ve always looked at myself as this weird-looking guy.”
Gretchen Mol as Michelle Stratton
Mol, who plays Julian’s ex Michelle Stratton, explained the appeal of Julian Kaye as a character in an interview with The New York Daily News. Showtime “The purity in how Julian Kaye, as a gigolo, is that he 100% is there with each client and isn’t lying to them. He finds something to love about each one of them,” she said. “But at the same time, because it’s a paid gig, it is transactional, but there can be purity in the transaction. If everybody knows what it is, I think there’s purity in it.”
Rosie O’Donnell as Detective Sunday
O’Donnell was excited to work with showrunner David Hollander on American Gigolo, but he was fired somewhat abruptly during the series’ filming, reportedly following a misconduct investigation. Showtime “The reason a lot of us did the show was really to work with him. Then this happened sort of out of the blue,” O’Donnell told The Hollywood Reporter. “We were told one day that David was let go, and they didn’t really explain why. We just [had] a new team come in, and we had a couple [of] weeks off while they tried to figure out what to do, and then we went back and finished it.”
Lizzie Brocheré as Isabelle

Wayne Brady as Lorenzo
Wayne Brady stars as Julian Kaye’s best friend, Lorenzo. He admitted that nudity is a huge part of the show, explaining to Entertainment Tonight, “The scenes that I am in are not steamy at all, because I play Jon’s best friend, and so, I help move the story along, but I will say that there are a couple poolside scenes where, well, folks are just naked so if you don’t like folks being naked, don’t watch American Gigolo. But something tells me if you’re watching American Gigolo, you should not be averse to a little bit of nudity.” Showtime He added, “It took me a second to get used to it. When I’m saying my line, and all of a sudden you got guys just walking by, ‘Flip, flop, flip, flop, and girls go, ‘Bloop, bloop, bloop, flip, flop, boom, boom,’ and I’m like, ‘Oh, okay, this is a day at work, I’m just gonna look up here.’”
