The Waterfront Cast: That ’70s Show Alum Topher Grace Joins Netflix Drama

As a seasoned gamer with a knack for recognizing familiar faces, I must admit that the casting of Topher Grace in The Waterfront has piqued my interest. Having grown up watching That ’70s Show and briefly catching him in That ’90s Show, it’s intriguing to see him step into a new role, especially with a creator like Kevin Williamson behind it.


According to reports, the popular streaming service, Netflix, has invited actor Topher Grace – known for his role in That ’70s Show – to join the cast of The Waterfront, a new family-oriented drama series being developed by the creative mind behind Scream and Dawson’s Creek, Kevin Williamson.

Grace is set to assume Grady’s character. This individual is portrayed as a sharp and passionate person who aims to conduct business with the Buckley family. This new role for Grace represents his latest partnership with the streaming service, following a brief return as Eric Forman in the first season of That ’90s Show. In the coming days, you can catch him in the action-thriller film Flight Risk alongside Mark Wahlberg, and the dark comedy movie Huntington, starring Glen Powell.

Drawing from real-life incidents, this television series delves deep into the imperfect Buckley clan and their desperate efforts to hold onto their deteriorating North Carolina fishing business, which pushes them towards progressively risky actions to stay financially stable.

Who’s in The Waterfront cast?

In The Waterfront, Holt McCallany (known for Mindhunter) is set to take the helm as Harlan Buckley, the family’s patriarch. Alongside him, Emmy-nominated actress Maria Bello (ER) will portray Mae Buckley, a multifaceted woman who is married to Harlan and the mother of their two children. Joining the cast are Jake Weary as Cane Buckley, Melissa Benoist as Bree Buckley, Rafael L. Silva as Shawn Wilson, Humberly González as Jenna Tate, Danielle Campbell as Peyton Buckle, Brady Hepner as Diller Hopkins, Gerardo Celasco as DEA Agent Marcus Sanchez, Michael Gaston as Sheriff Clyde Porter, and Zach Roerig as Troy.
