  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nIf you're obsessed with _**The Rip**_ on Netflix, you probably want to know every single detail of how the movie was brought to life. The film stars **Ben Affleck** and Matt Damon, Hollywood's most loyal best friends, and has a plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat. If you haven't seen the Netflix movie yet, you're gonna wanna tune in.\n\nBefore we get into the cast deets, here’s a quick synopsis of __The Rip__ so you know what you’re getting into. The movie centers around a group of detectives who stumble upon a massive wad of cash. We’re talking 20 million dollars here, which many of these detectives can seriously use. (Can’t we all?)\n\nCan these detectives trust each other not to snatch up the dough for themselves? Will this wad of cash destroy their professional and personal lives? Find out by tuning into the engaging new film on **Netflix**.\n\n* * *\n\n## Now, without further ado, let’s get to know the star-studded cast of _The Rip_.\n\n### Ben Affleck as JD Byrne\n\n\n\n\nBen Affleck nails it as JD Byrne, a detective with a complicated relationship to the case. He’s certainly not in the best mental headspace, which is why the $20 million seems so terribly tempting to dry his tears away.\n\nThe man needs no introduction, but Affleck is best known for top-tier films like __The Town__ , __Gone Girl__ , and __Good Will Hunting__.\n\n### Matt Damon as Dane Dumars\n\n\n\n\nIt’s always a pleasure to see Matt Damon onscreen, and not just because he was one of the biggest Hollywood stars in the 90s/early aughts (and one of our major crushes). He knocks it out of the park as Dane Dumars, who's also struggling with a recent loss on top of his highly stressful job.\n\nThe actor achieved fame by starring in unforgettable films such as __Good Will Hunting__ , __The Martian__ , and __Mystic Pizza__. He's also leading _The Odyssey_ later this summer.\n\n### Steven Yeun as Mike Ro\n\n\n\n\nEverything Steven Yeun touches is pure gold, and his role in this film is no exception. He steals every scene he’s in with his comedic timing and electric presence, which he’s carried throughout his other TV shows, such as __Beef__ (my personal fave) and __The Walking Dead.__ Petition to put this man in more stuff, please and thank you!\n\n### Teyana Taylor as Numa Baptiste\n\n\n\n\nTeyana Taylor is another force to be reckoned with on this list, due to her unforgettable screen presence and stellar acting chops. You may recognize Taylor from projects such as __One Battle After Another__ and __A Thousand and One__.\n\n### Catalina Sandino Moreno as Detective Lolo Salazar\n\n\n\n\nMoreno’s character, in her words, is “crazy.” Detective Lolo Salazer is the one who counts up the money throughout the night with Baptiste. Catalina Sandino is also known for her Academy Award-nominated performance in __Maria Full of Grace__ and __Love in the Time of Cholera.__\n\n### Sasha Calle as Desi Lopez Molina\n\n\n\n\nCalle’s character is the one who stores the money at her home. However, the other characters soon discover that everything with her is not what it seems. Calle is best known for her role in 2023’s __The Flash__ and __On Swift Horses__ __ with Jacob Elordi and Daisy Edgar-Jones.__\n\n### Kyle Chandler as DEA Agent Matty Nix\n\n\n\n\nEveryone’s favorite __Friday Night Lights__ star, Kyle Chandler, is in __The Rip__ cast as a DEA agent and friend of Dumars and Byrne’s. He warns his friends about who they can trust, as the department is cracking down on corruption. Aside from __Friday Night Lights__ , Chandler has starred in __The Wolf of Wall Street__ and the Netflix series __Bloodline__.\n\n### Scott Adkins as FBI Agent Del Byrne\n\n\n\n\nAgent Del Byrne is JD Byrne’s brother and is one of the agents investigating corruption. Adkins is known for __John Wick: Chapter 4__ and __Doctor Strange__.\n\n### Néstor Carbonell as Major Thom Vallejo\n\n\n\n\nMajor Thom Vallejo is Byrne and Dumars’ boss. Carbonell starred in Christopher Nolan’s _Dark Knight_ films and won an Emmy for his role in _Shōgun_.\n\n### Lina Esco as Captain Jackie Velez\n\n\n\n\nJackie is the former captain of the TNT who was murdered, setting the film’s plot into motion. Esco has had roles in the dramas __Cane__ and __S.W.A.T__.\n\n**Stay up to date with the latest Netflix news and releases with ouremail newsletter.**",
