Additional actors for the highly anticipated television adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s “Cormoran Strike Series” were finally announced on IMDB. We reported previously on the casting of the two main characters, Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacot, played by Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger, respectively. IMDB now also has several smaller roles listed for characters in The Cuckoo’s Calling, and a few of them should look familiar.
