Who stars in ‘Delphi’ and who do they play?
Per Deadline, the cast and their roles are as follows:
Santiago plays Santi Torres, “a raw talent who has always lived in the shadow of his older brother.” Castano plays Nico Torres, Santi’s older brother, “a naturally gifted boxer whose personal setbacks have forced him to confront his innermost demons.” Bichir plays Hector Torres, the family patriarch who “owns and operates a boxing gym in East LA” and takes “a tough-love approach to raising his sons.” Holland plays Teddy “T-Bone” Parker, “a boxing strategist and lead instructor at the Delphi Academy,” who “approaches boxing like chess.” Royo plays Elmer Tatum, “an eccentric boxing encyclopedia, Bronx-born and effortlessly cool.” Black-D’Elia plays Bobbi Weiss, “an accountant with a dream of pursuing her true passion: becoming a trainer at an elite boxing academy.” Vourkoutiotis plays Kai Katsaros, “an introverted young boxer with incredible ability and skill who battles to overcome low confidence, high anxiety and stage fright in pursuit of her potential.”
Harris reprises his role as Little Duke from the Creed films, “son of Tony ‘Duke’ Evers and the legendary trainer of Apollo Creed,” continuing that legacy by training young talent at the Delphi Academy.
Ramírez serves as showrunner and executive producer alongside Jordan and Elizabeth Raposo via Outlier Society, Winkler Films’ Irwin Winkler, David Winkler, Charles Winkler and Sebastian Winkler, as well as William Chartoff, Philipp A. Barnett, Jennifer Johnson and José Padilha, who is directing the pilot.
