Meet the Cast of ‘FBI’—and Where You’ve Seen Them Before

On FBI, the team races against the clock to track down the most dangerous criminals and keep the streets of New York City safe for its residents. Off-screen, the show’s stars have been in a number of different roles, some of which you might be surprised to learn about.

FBI began in 2018 and is currently in its seventh season, starring Missy Peregrym as Maggie Bell, Zeeko Zaki as Omar Adom and Jeremy Sisto as Jubal Valentine as members of the FBI team. Learn more about the cast of FBI and see where your favorite stars were before they became special agents.

Missy Peregrym

Character played: Special Agent Maggie Bell

Born: June 16, 1982, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Best known for: The movie Stick It (2006), as well as the series Reaper (2007-2009), Rookie Blue (2010-2015) and Cybergeddon (2012)

Thoughts on FBI: “Nobody wants to have a show that’s just a horror show the whole episode,” Peregrym shared. “We want to do something that says, ‘OK, yes this is happening, but look at all of these people who are working so hard to protect you.’ That’s the truth about what’s going on in America right now, and our intention is to show the reality…and give Americans something to really believe in.”

Zeeko Zaki

Character played: Special Agent Omar Adom (OA) Zidan

Born: January 18, 1990, in Alexandria, Egypt

Best known for: The movie Stuck in Love (2012) and the shows Legacy (2017) and Six (2017)

Thoughts on FBI: “What’s really great about our show is we get to see how good these guys are at compartmentalizing and keeping the personal stuff the personal stuff [private] and work at work,” Zaki said. “And of course, there’s some blurry lines here and there, but so far we seem to be able to figure it out.”

Jeremy Sisto

Character played: Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) Jubal Valentine

Born: October 6, 1974, in Grass Valley, California

Best known for: Clueless (1995), Suicide Kings (1997), May (2002) and Wrong Turn (2003)

Thoughts on FBI: “He’s a good guy,” Sisto said of his character. “He’s definitely obsessed with his job, but he’s also obsessed with his kids… He’s self-deprecating at times, but he also likes to hear himself talk and he’s definitely not shy about being the center of attention and being the guy that people come to.”

Alana de la Garza

Character played: Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Isobel Castille

Born: June 18, 1976, in Columbus, Ohio

Best known for: The movie Mr. Fix It (2006) and the series Law & Order (2006-2010)

Thoughts on FBI: “Isobel Castille is no-nonsense, very direct,” Alana de la Garza said. “Honestly, she does not mess around. She doesn’t mince words. But you will see that the passion she brings to her agents and everything she’s involved with, she brings it on all levels.”

John Boyd

Thoughts on FBI: “I think Scola is another person who will do anything for the case,” Boyd explained. “Scola has that, ‘I don’t care about the BS. We’re going to do this’[attitude]… He’s like a dog with a bone. He wants it, he’s going after it.”
