Derek P. Riedel

Derek P. Riedel’s filmography is honestly a wild ride—he’s been popping up in some pretty solid stuff lately. You’ve probably seen his face even if you didn’t realize it. In 2025, there’s “A Working Man,” which, from what’s floating around, seems like it’s going to be a story that hits close to home for a lot of people—blue-collar grit, real struggles, none of that Hollywood gloss. Riedel’s got this knack for making even the smallest roles feel like they matter, and it sounds like he’s front and center for this one. But rewind a bit—he also turned up in “The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare” (2024). That one’s a mix of chaos, dark humor, and some good old-fashioned action. It’s a Guy Ritchie flick, so you know it’s got swagger. Riedel slides right into that world, playing his part with a kind of sly charm that’s easy to miss if you blink. It’s not just about gunfights and explosions; there’s this undercurrent of wit and a dash of the unexpected. And then, of course, “John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum” (2019). What a ride. While Riedel’s not the one dodging bullets and flipping motorcycles, he still manages to leave a mark. Every scene in that movie is packed with tension, and you need actors who can keep up. He does. Altogether, his roles aren’t always the flashiest, but the guy’s got range. He’s one of those actors who quietly hold a movie together, and honestly, I’m curious what he’ll do next.
