FBI Most Wanted cast and character details
According to Deadline, the series follows the special agents of the FBI Fugitive Taskforce led by Supervisory Special Agent Jess LaCroix (Julian McMahon), an expert tracker and profiler.

Julian McMahon as Jess LaCroix:
Jess LaCroix is an agent who's at the top of his game and oversees the team from the FBI's Most Wanted Unit, which is assigned with the most extreme cases. LaCroix explicitly trusts his team and looks out for the younger agents. LaCroix is often reticent about his private life and even his agents know that it is not a line to cross. His brother-in-law Clinton, whom he sees more like a brotherly figure rather than his subordinate, is usually the one to discreetly remind him to take care of himself or check upon him. At work, he generally puts on a masculine front but is a doting and loving father to his daughter. LaCroix has a daughter Tali with his late wife Angelyne. Being estranged from his abusive father, he is closer to his parents-in-law and Tali is cared for by them due to his long and irregular hours.

Nathaniel Arcand as Clinton Skye
Agent Clinton Skye, Mohawk Nation, Jess' brother-in-law, a marksman with a law degree. He has a very calm personality, often giving Jess parenting advice and occasionally revealing childhood memories of his sister Angelyne, Jess's deceased wife. Every now and then, Skye has to perform the task of comforting LaCroix when the memory of his deceased wife strikes him or is facing temperamental issues. Skye achieves the same by revealing stories from the time when Skye and LaCroix's heaven-bound wife, Angelyne, were kids.
Keisha Castle-Hughes as Hana Gibson
Hughes' Hana Gibson shares the title of being one of the youngest members on LaCroix's team with Crosby. Gibson is a cowboy boot-wearing FBI Analyst from a conservative Dallas family. She is a master of data-mining and social engineering with a sharp, earthy sense of humour. Tough, playful, young in years but an old soul at heart.

Roxy Sternberg as Sheryll Barnes
FBI Agent Sheryll Barnes is an ex-NYPD detective with elevated street smarts thanks to undercover gang work in the Bronx. Often referred to by her surname, Barnes is a kind soul, gentle and empathetic with victims and affectionate towards her team. This is not to be mistaken for weakness; when interviewing suspects and while undercover, Barnes is cool, confident, and tough as a nail. As a woman and an African American, Barnes occasionally faces sexist and racist comments from suspects, but she handles them well.
Kellan Lutz as Kenny Crosby
One of the youngest members of LaCroix's team members is Lutz's, Ken Crosby. FBI Agent Kenny Crosby is an Army intel vet who Jess has taken under his wing and also a communications whiz. Kenny can be a little tough and aggressive when provoked or when he disagrees with disrespectful or improper attitudes.
