Meet the Three Pines cast: who's who in mystery series
Three Pines has all the elements to be an under the radar hit for Prime Video. Not only does the crime mystery have an elderly and beloved English actor in Alfred Molina as its leading man, but it is also an adaptation of Louise Penny's series of best-selling novels, and a cast of characters that all could be potential suspects or killers.
Over the course of Three Pines' eight-episode first season, Molina's Chief Inspector Armand Gamache investigates different murders committed in the tiny, titular Quebec village, getting pulled deeper and deeper into its disturbing history of secrets and crimes.

The investigators
Alfred Molina as Chief Inspector Armand Gamache
Molina plays Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, a gentle, wise and kind police officer who is always tough when it comes to solving crimes. Gamache arrives in Three Pines to try and solve a murder, only to get ensconced in the village’s secret history of crimes.
After making his screen debut in Raiders of the Lost Ark's iconic opening scene, Molina has appeared in Boogie Nights, Chocolat, An Education and, most famously, in Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man: No Way Home as Doctor Octopus.
Molina has also been nominated for Golden Globe, BAFTA and Primetime Emmy awards, as well as three Tony Awards.
Rossif Sutherland as Jean-Guy Beauvoir
One of Gamache's most trusted officers, Rossif Sutherland portrays Sergeant Jean-Guy Beauvoir. Unlike Gamache, though, Beauvoir is much more aggressive and combative, while he’s also battling his own inner demons.
The son of legendary actor Donald Sutherland, and half-brother of Kiefer, Rossif Sutherland has appeared in the likes of ER, Monk, Reign and The Handmaid's Tale, as well as the movies Backstabbing for Beginners and Orphan: First Kill.
Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers as Isabelle Lacoste
Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers plays another member of Gamache's posse of police officers, Isabelle Lacoste. As well as being arguably the most intelligent officer in Three Pines, Lacoste is also an Indigenous working mother, who is constantly trying to find the right work/life balance.
Tailfeathers is both an actor and filmmaker, who hails from Alberta, Canada. As a performer she's appeared in Night Raiders, Blood Quantum and Stellar, while her directing credits include The Body Remembers When The World Broke Open, which won the Canadian Screen Award For Best Director and was named the Toronto Film Critics Association's Best Canadian Film.
Sarah Booth as Yvette Nichol
Yet another police officer who works alongside Gamache, Beauvoir and Lacoste, Sarah Booth stars as Yvette Nichol. However, Nichol has only just joined the force and unfortunately the rookie is very accident-prone.
Booth has appeared as a guest star in the likes of Transplant, Star Trek: Discovery and Y: The Last Man.

Deroy-Olson is relatively new to TV, with her lone credit before Three Pines being a four episode stint on Shadow of the Rougarou.
