Stachel is among the most acclaimed actors in the cast and is playing Sean, Zola's boyfriend. His TV resume is a little lighter — he joined the cast of Law & Order: SVU in 2020 as Sgt. Hasim Khaldun — but his stage work has earned him big accolades. In 2018, he won the Tony Award for best featured actor in a musical for his role as trumpet player Haled in The Band's Visit.
