Nobody - Characters & Cast

Initially motivated by a sense of failure and the need to retrieve his daughter's stolen bracelet, his core motivation becomes a deep-seated addiction to violence and a desire to feel alive and in control again. Ultimately, he channels this violent nature toward protecting his family from the consequences of his actions.

Hutch begins as a repressed, emasculated suburbanite, a 'nobody' seemingly content with his mundane life. The home invasion serves as a catalyst, cracking his facade and reawakening his dormant violent instincts. He transforms from a passive observer to an active, brutal force, embracing the lethal skills of his past as a government assassin. By the end, he finds a way to integrate his two selves, accepting his violent nature while still being dedicated to his family, albeit in a much more dangerous context.

His primary motivation is revenge for the brutal attack on his brother. This is compounded by the threat Hutch poses to his reputation and the Obshchak he is tasked with protecting. His pride and sadism drive him to pursue Hutch relentlessly.

Yulian is introduced as an eccentric, flamboyant, and vicious Russian mobster who is the keeper of the 'Obshchak,' the mob's insurance fund. His arc is one of escalating rage and obsession. After Hutch hospitalizes his younger brother, Yulian's focus shifts from his criminal enterprise to a personal vendetta against Hutch. He consistently underestimates his opponent, leading to his eventual downfall in a fiery, explosive confrontation.

His motivation is rooted in family loyalty and a clear relish for returning to action. He seems bored with retirement and is more than willing to help his son, seizing the opportunity to use his long-dormant skills.

David is first seen as a seemingly frail resident of a nursing home. However, it's revealed he is a retired FBI agent with lethal skills of his own. When Hutch's war with the mob begins, David sheds his quiet retirement persona, eagerly joining the fight with deadly efficiency. His arc shows that the 'Mansell' propensity for violence is a family trait, and he proves to be a crucial and surprisingly enthusiastic ally in the final battle.

Her motivation is to support her husband and protect her family. She is also motivated by a renewed connection with Hutch, reaffirming their love once the facade of his mundane life is stripped away.

Becca initially appears to be part of Hutch's mundane life, emotionally and physically distant from him. As Hutch's violent past resurfaces, it becomes clear that she was aware of who he used to be. Instead of fear, she shows understanding and rekindled affection. Her arc is one of re-engagement with her husband, seemingly more attracted to the dangerous 'somebody' he is than the boring 'nobody' he was pretending to be.
