CAST

  • J Alphonse Nicholson

    Trey Carver

    One of the most magnetic actors working today. Best known for his role as Lil Murda on the Starz drama P-Valley, Nicholson is a two-time NAACP Image Award nominee whose credits include Just Mercy, They Cloned Tyrone, and a Broadway debut in A Soldier's Play. He is also an accomplished percussionist and emerging producer/director.

  • Jerry O'Connell

    The Milk Man

    A household name and one of Hollywood's most enduring talents. O'Connell has been acting since age eleven, when he starred in Stand by Me. His career spans Jerry Maguire, Scream 2, Kangaroo Jack, the sci-fi series Sliders, and five seasons voicing Commander Jack Ransom on Star Trek: Lower Decks. He also appeared on Broadway in A Soldier's Play alongside Nicholson.

  • Rodney Van Johnson

    Marcus Carver

    A true renaissance man with one of the most unlikely paths to Hollywood. A former world-class track and field athlete and Olympic qualifier in the 100 meters, Johnson became the only actor to appear consecutively on three different soap operas across three networks: The Young and the Restless, Port Charles, and Passions. He is a direct descendant of Oliver Lewis, the jockey who won the first Kentucky Derby.

  • Brandon Perea

    Jose

    The definition of a scene-stealer. Perea broke out as Angel Torres in Jordan Peele's Nope, where Peele rewrote the script to expand the character around what Perea brought to his audition. The performance earned him a BAFTA Breakthrough Artist selection. He currently stars in the latest installment of the Insidious franchise and can be seen in Doe, Kid Cudi's feature directorial debut. Previous credits include Twisters and Netflix's The OA.

  • Scott "Kid Cudi" Mescudi

    Barry

    A man who needs no introduction, Scott is a talented multi-hyphenate who has never stopped evolving. The Grammy-winning artist has built a film career spanning Ti West's X, Adam McKay’s Don't Look Up, and Happy Gilmore 2. In addition to acting in Spilled Milk, Mescudi composed the film's original score. He is currently in production on his feature directorial debut, Doe, a gritty addiction drama he wrote, stars in, and is scoring with original music.
