Meet the Tough-as-Nails Cast of Netflix's GLOW, Including 1 New Addition

With roles in Community, Mad Men, and BoJack Horseman under her belt, Alison Brie has proved she can take on practically anything. She plays Ruth Wilder, a desperate, out-of-work actress who sees a weekly series about female wrestlers as her one last shot at fame. By the end of season one, Ruth is one of the show's most complicated characters.

You've no doubt had a crush on Chris Lowell at some point over the course of his career, thanks to endearing roles in everything from Private Practice to Veronica Mars. He reprises his role as Bash in season two, where he continues to bankroll GLOW while wearing an array of pastels.

Fresh off of turns in Masters of Sex and American Gods, Betty Gilpin was cast in season one of GLOW as Debbie Eagan, a former soap opera actress trying to break back into showbiz after leaving the spotlight to have a kid. It'll be interesting to see how (and if) her friendship with Ruth progresses in the new episodes.

Jenny is played by Canadian actress and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World alum Ellen Wong, whom you might also have seen in the TV show Dark Matter and 2017's The Circle.

GLOW is one of Sydelle Noel's biggest roles yet, following parts in the 2015 thriller Captive and appearances in shows like Bones and Extant. She also had a multi-episode arc in Arrow as Samanda Watson, and played a member of the Dora Milaje in Black Panther.

Before GLOW, Gayle Rankin impressed audiences with her work in short films like Girl Wakes Up and It Goes Quiet. Since playing Sheila, however, she's racked up a few roles in movies like The Greatest Showman and Irreplaceable You.

Any Those Who Can't fans in the house? If so, you'll recognize Little Debbie, aka actress Britney Young (she's also popped up in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Better Things). We're SO ready to see more of the lovable (and badass) Machu Picchu!

Standup comedian, Roadies star, and WTF podcast host Marc Maron is back in season two as Sam Sylvia, a skeezy B-movie director tasked with heading up the GLOW organization.

Remember the girl gyrating her heart out in DJ Snake's "Turn Down For What" video? That was Sunita Mani! The actress and comedian has also been in Mr. Robot, No Activity, and The Good Place.

Before starring in GLOW as Melrose, Jackie Tohn had audiences captivated in Chips, Sisters, and Jem and the Holograms.

Kia Stevens no doubt brings the most authenticity to her role. The actress, who plays Tammé Dawson, has been a professional wrestler since 2002, working with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling under the ring names Awesome Kong and Kharma.

Britt Baron has had roles on Grey's Anatomy and Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders, and voiced Linda in Halo: The Fall of Reach. Given how her character's story wraps up in season one with Sam, season two should be an exciting one for Justine.

Kimmy Gatewood plays one half of GLOW's elderly wrestling duo, but in real life she's a writer and actress who's appeared on Conan, A Christmas Story Live!, and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

The other half of the elderly wrestling duo is played by Rebekka Johnson, who you might know from A Christmas Story Live! (she costarred with Gatewood!) and We Don't Hate It Here.

As much as we can't stand Mark, we are glad to see more of Rich Sommer. The actor has had roles in everything from Mad Men to The Devil Wears Prada.

Marianna Palka (Bitch, Girls) plays Reggie, an athlete who has her USA enthusiasm stolen from her by Debbie. Hopefully she'll gain a bit more confidence in season two.

Rhonda (aka Britannica) is actually played by British singer-songwriter Kate Nash. Since charming the music scene with her debut album in 2007, Made of Bricks (which went platinum . . . NBD), Nash has gone on to win a BRIT Award and release three more albums and a handful of EPs.

Yolanda is the new girl on the block in season two! As for the actress who plays her, you've probably seen her before; Shakira Barrera has been in High & Mighty, Lethal Weapon, and Grey's Anatomy.
