Into Infinity Cast Guide – Every New & Returning Actor In The Black Mirror Season 7 Episode

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Black Mirror season 7, episode 6, “USS Callister: Into Infinity.”

Black Mirror season 7’s “USS Callister: Into Infinity” not only marks the return of many familiar characters from season 4’s episode 1 but also features some new faces. Created by Charlie Brooker, Netflix’s Black Mirror is known for following an anthology format, where each episode unfolds a standalone narrative. The only shared theme between all episodes in the series is that they highlight the dark implications of humanity’s growing dependence on technology.

Like most anthology shows, Black Mirror has always been a mixed bag, with some episodes outshining others. According to many viewers, Black Mirror season 4’s episode 1, “USS Callister,” has always been among the show’s better installments, explaining why Netflix decided to expand its lore with a sequel, “USS Callister: Into Infinity.” Beginning where its predecessor ended, the Black Mirror episode features many characters from its parent episode and introduces a few new ones.

Although she played myriad roles in several TV shows and movies throughout her career, she was most recognizable for her part in Black Mirror season 4’s episode 1, “USS Callister,” in the 2010s. She found new fame in 2021 when she starred as one of the leads in the sci-fi comedy Palm Springs. In recent years, her acting portfolio has become even more impressive, with roles in shows like The Penguin and The Resort.

Notable Movies & Shows:

Character: In Black Mirror season 7’s episode 6, Milioti reprises her role as Nanette Cole. She plays the character’s human and digital version in the Netflix sci-fi show. While her human version sets out to find the truth about what Robert Daly was doing before he died, her digital counterpart sets out on a journey to save her USS Callister crew from their imminent doom.

Jimmi Simpson as Walton

Date Of Birth: 21 November 1975

Actor: Born in Hackettstown, New Jersey, Jimmi Simpson attended Hackettstown High School before he pursued a BA in theater at Bloomsburg University. After he graduated from university, he went on to act for four seasons at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The actor made his feature film debut at 25 when he starred in Amy Herckerling’s Loser in 2000. During his early acting years, he first garnered acclaim when he played Mike Mageau in David Fincher’s Zodiac.

Since then, Jimmi Simpson has played diverse roles in many well-known TV shows, like Breakout Kings, Psych, House of Cards, Westworld, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In recent times, Simpson has garnered attention for his portrayal of many alternate versions of the same character in Apple TV+’s acclaimed sci-fi show Dark Matter.

Notable Movies & Shows:

Character: Like most main cast members in “USS Callister: Into Infinity,” Jimmi Simpson also plays two alternate versions of the same character. While one of them is human, the other is a digital clone. In Black Mirror season 4’s episode 1, the human version of Jimmi Simpson’s character, Walton, did not have that big of a role. Black Mirror season 7’s episode 6, however, delves deeper into his backstory and reveals how he may be an even bigger villain than Jesse Plemons’ Robert Daly.

Jesse Plemons as Robert Daly

Date Of Birth: 2 April 1988

Actor: Born and raised in Texas, Jesse Plemons started his acting journey at the age of three by appearing in a Coca-Cola commercial. Throughout his early years, he kept taking up small roles and extra acting work to be able to support his family. His breakthrough came in 2006 when he appeared as Landry Clarke in NBC’s Friday Night Lights. Interestingly, even though Plemons played football in school, he was one of the few main characters in the sports drama series who was not a part of the central football team.

Plemons went on to garner more attention for his performance in Breaking Bad and the show even got him the title “Meth Damon” because of how he resembled Matt Damon. Over the years, Plemons’ acting portfolio has only grown from strength to strength as he has earned two Primetime Emmy Award nominations and garnered immense acclaim for his brief but memorable roles in movies like The Irishman and Civil War.

Notable Movies & Shows:

Character: Since Jesse Plemons’ character dies towards the end of Black Mirror’s “USS Callister” episode, he was not expected to reprise his role in Black Mirror season 7’s episode 6. However, he surprisingly returns in the episode’s second half and portrays a new digitally cloned version of his character. Although the new version of his character, Robert Daly, is not the main villain in season 7’s episode 6, he still turns out to be morally ambiguous.
