Mobile phone technology has come a long way in the last 20 years, but this is ridiculous. In the new Stephen King film adaptation Mr. Harrigan’s Phone, cell service reaches a new frontier: beyond the grave. That’s right, the phone of the title crosses the boundaries between the living and the dead, allowing young Craig (Jaeden Martell) to communicate with his deceased friend Mr. Harrigan (Donald Sutherland). But the weirdness doesn’t stop there. People start to turn up dead, and Craig is forced to reckon with his complicity in this supernatural chain of cellular murders. The film is populated with a cast of new stars and seasoned veterans — allow us to take you on a tour of Mr. Harrigan’s Phone’s list of contacts.

It could be intimidating for a young actor to share the screen with a titan of the industry like Donald Sutherland, but Jaeden Martell is no stranger to star power. His breakout role came opposite Bill Murray in St. Vincent, and he’s gone on to star alongside great actors like Christopher Plummer (Knives Out), Naomi Watts (The Book of Henry) and Joe Manganiello (this year’s Metal Lords). Along the way, he’s grown into a formidable actor in his own right. Of course, this isn’t his first Stephen King rodeo either: Martell appeared as Bill Denbrough in both of the blockbuster It films.

You may have seen Donald Sutherland in ’70s classics like Klute, Don’t Look Now, or Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Or you might recognize him from late-career supporting roles in films like JFK, Pride & Prejudice, or The Italian Job. Or you might recall his deliciously sinister turn as Panem’s big bad President Snow in the Hunger Games films. Regardless, you likely remember his velvety voice and unforgettable screen presence. As Mr. Harrigan, Sutherland commands the film even after he dies — a feat that only an actor of Sutherland’s powers could pull off.

Craig’s kind-hearted biology teacher Ms. Hart is played by Kirby Howell-Baptiste, fresh off of her memorable turn as Death herself in The Sandman. The bullied Craig turns to Ms. Hart as a source of comfort and as a role model; she also gives him valuable guidance when things in their small town start to grow a little more, shall we say, spooky. Howell-Baptiste has popped up in recurring roles on shows like Barry, Love and The Good Place, as well portraying Eve’s assistant Elena on Killing Eve.

As Craig grows closer to Mr. Harrigan (even in death), his father is on his own journey, continuing to grieve for his deceased wife. Played by Joe Tippett, the well-meaning dad does his best for his son — he gets Craig an iPhone for Christmas, unwittingly sending the events of the story into motion. Tippett has previously appeared in films like Monsters and Men and series like Rise and Mare of Easttown.

Craig’s cruel tormentor at school is played by Cyrus Arnold, who last year played a similar role as a bully in the Christmas comedy 8-Bit Christmas. We’re sure he’s much nicer in real life! Arnold also appeared in the short-lived Exorcist television series, and played Derek Zoolander’s son in Zoolander 2.
