Leo Pap (Giancarlo Esposito) is the criminal mastermind in the Netflix series ‘Kaleidoscope’

Giancarlo Esposito’s character Leo Pap leads a group of criminals who plan to unlock a seemingly unbreakable vault and make off with a massive payday. Leo became a thief from a young age and couldn’t resist a life of crime.

He is intelligent, driven, and detail-oriented, maybe even enough to get away with the perfect heist. Esposito is an actor known for portraying Gustavo Fring in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, as well as Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian.

Rosaline Elbay and Jai Courtney play husband and wife Judy and Bob Goodwin

Also, a part of Leo Pap’s team are husband and wife Bob and Judy Goodwin. Judy works as the crew’s demolition expert. Clever and eccentric, she is a talented force to be reckoned with. Bob is a safe cracker who loves pushing people’s buttons but has a temper and insecurities of his own.

Rosaline Elbay is known for her role in the Hulu series Ramy while Jai Courtney has starred in films such as A Good Day to Die Hard, I, Frankenstein, and The Exception.

Stan Loomis (Peter Mark Kendall) and RJ Acosta Jr (Jordan Mendoza) round out Leo’s crew

Peter Mark Kendall joins the cast as Stan Loomis, a smuggler who was Leo’s cellmate in prison years ago. Stan has “a mouth that never stops running and the heart of a hopeless romantic,” according to Den of Geek. Kendall has appeared in TV series such as Girls, Chicago Med, The Americans, and Gotham.

Jordan Mendoza’s character RJ Acosta is the final member of Leo’s crew. RJ is an engineer and skilled mechanic who serves as the team’s driver. Although he might not have the best people skills, RJ gets the chance to be an asset to the team. Mendoza has appeared in Human Resources and ZIWE, as well as working as a writer and producer.

Roger Salas (Rufus Sewell) is a security expert in Netflix’s ‘Kaleidoscope’

In the Netflix series Kaleidoscope, Rufus Sewell portrays Roger Salas, a former thief who was Leo’s partner years ago. Now Roger runs a corporate security firm called “SLS,” which serves to stop criminals from breaking into vaults. Sewell is a British actor who has appeared in films such as Hamlet, A Knight’s Tale, and Old.

Tati Gabrielle’s character Hannah Kim wears many hats

Tati Gabrielle’s character Hannah Kim is particularly interesting. Hannah works as the head of digital security at SLS. She is also Leo Pap’s daughter. Ambitious and adaptable, Hannah straddles two very different worlds in the Netflix series. Gabrielle is known for appearing in the Netflix shows, You and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.
