Frank Drebin Jr., Pamela Anderson plays Beth Davenport, and Paul Walter Hauser plays Ed Hocken Jr. The cast below pairs the film’s actors with their credited characters and clarifies how the new film connects to the 1988 original.
The Naked Gun (2025) cast and characters
| Actor | Character |
|---|---|
| Liam Neeson | Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. |
| Pamela Anderson | Beth Davenport |
| Paul Walter Hauser | Ed Hocken Jr. |
| Kevin Durand | Sig Gustafson |
| Danny Huston | Richard Cane |
| CCH Pounder | Chief Davis |
| Cody Rhodes | Bartender |
| Liza Koshy | Detective Barnes |
| Eddie Yu | Detective Park |
Paramount’s official film page spells Danny Huston’s character name “Richard Cane.” TIME spells it “Richard Crane” in its coverage; the table follows Paramount’s credit. TIME’s article records the alternate spelling.
Paramount+ also lists Busta Rhymes among the featured performers, but the official character listings cited here do not identify a character for him. A performer listing alone does not establish a specific role.
How the 2025 film connects to the 1988 original
Neeson plays Frank Drebin Jr., following in the footsteps of his father, Lt. Frank Drebin. The original The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) starred Leslie Nielsen as Frank Drebin and George Kennedy as Capt. Ed Hocken. The “Jr.” in the 2025 characters’ names signals continuity with those Police Squad roles; it does not mean Neeson or Hauser is playing the original performer’s version of the character. Paramount’s pages identify the respective casts and characters for the 2025 film and the 1988 original.
