Which Ride or Die actor played Gail in the 2024 film The Fall Guy?

Hannah Waddingham played Gail Meyer in the 2024 film The Fall Guy.

Gail is the producer overseeing the movie-within-the-movie that brings stuntman Colt Seavers back into action. She contacts Colt when director Jody Moreno needs help, making Gail an important link between the production’s backstage chaos and its dangerous stunt work.

Waddingham was widely recognized for playing Rebecca Welton in Ted Lasso, but her career began long before that breakout television role. She is also an accomplished stage performer, with credits in London’s West End and Broadway productions including Spamalot and Kiss Me, Kate. Her commanding presence gives Gail the authority expected of a major film producer.

The Fall Guy is loosely based on the 1980s television series of the same name, but it tells a new story centered on Colt, played by Ryan Gosling, and Jody, played by Emily Blunt. Gail is not the director or romantic lead; she is the producer trying to keep the troubled production moving while Colt searches for the missing star Tom Ryder.
