Here's where you might recognize the cast of the new murder-mystery series 'Poker Face' from

In Rian Johnson's new murder series "Poker Face," we follow human lie detector Charlie Cale as she attempts to solve a series of crimes that she stumbles across. Charlie has the ability to tell when a person is lying, and she ends up using the gimmick to solve murder mysteries.

The series is episodic, set in a new area each episode, and there are nearly two dozen guest stars.

Charlie is played by the Emmy-nominated Lyonne, who is best known for her roles in the hit Netflix series "Orange is the New Black" and "Russian Doll."

Early in her career, Lyonne starred in the cult classics "Slums of Beverly Hills" and "But I'm a Cheerleader." That led to appearances in mainstream franchises like "American Pie" and  "Scary Movie." But in the late '90s and early 2000s, Lyonne struggled with a drug and alcohol problem and remained largely out of the limelight. 

Fans of Johnson's recent movie "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" will also recognize Lyonne since she made a cameo as herself early in the film.

Lyonne's "Orange is the New Black" co-star Dascha Polanco makes an appearance in the first episode of "Poker Face." She plays Natalie, a friend of Charlie who works as a maid in the casino where the first episode is set.

Polanco is best known for her role as  Dayanara "Daya" Diaz, one of the main characters of "Orange is the New Black." Since then, Polanco has worked with Lyonne on two other projects – "DC League of Super-Pets," where she played the voice of Green Lantern and "Russian Doll," where she played Alan's (Charlie Barnett) girlfriend Beatrice.

Polanco is also known for playing Cuca in the movie musical "In The Heights."

Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody plays Sterling Frost Jr., the owner of the casino on which the first episode is focused.

Brody has a long list of recognizable roles.

In 2021, he starred in the murder mystery film "See How They Run" as the producer Leo Kopernick. He also appeared in Netflix's Marilyn Monroe movie "Blonde" and in the HBO biopic "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty."

Brody may be best known for his roles in Wes Anderson movies, having starred in "The Darjeeling Limited," "The Grand Budapest Hotel," "Fantastic Mr. Fox," and "French Dispatch" over the last 15 years.

He also starred in the Oscar-winning movies "King Kong" and "The Pianist." Brody won a best actor Oscar for the latter, despite the controversy surrounding the film — it was directed by Roman Polanski, who fled the US after being indicted for unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.

Casino security boss, Cliff Legrand, is played by Benjamin Bratt and is one of the few characters to appear in multiple episodes.

Bratt is best known for playing FBI agent Eric Matthews in the hit rom-com "Miss Congeniality." Over his career, he has also had other prominent roles, such as Alfredo Garcia in "Demolition Man" and Jahil Rivera in the Fox series "Star."

Bratt also has voiced characters in several animated films in the last decade. He starred as Manny in the "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" movies, played the villain El Macho in "Despicable Me 2," and was the voice behind the antagonist Ernesto de la Cruz in "Coco."
