Which actor plays Luther Stickell in the Mission: Impossible films?

Ving Rhames plays Luther Stickell in the Mission: Impossible films.

Luther Stickell is an accomplished computer expert and a trusted member of Ethan Hunt’s IMF team. Ving Rhames originated the role in the 1996 film and has appeared as Luther throughout the main film series, making the character one of the franchise’s most consistent supporting figures.

Luther’s technical abilities frequently support the team’s field operations, but later films also emphasize his loyalty, judgment, and long friendship with Ethan. His presence helps connect the separate missions across decades of the series.

Ving Rhames is also known for roles in Pulp Fiction, Con Air, and the television film Don King: Only in America. Luther should not be confused with William Brandt, played by Jeremy Renner, or Benji Dunn, played by Simon Pegg.
