The Netflix live-action film and its cast
This page concerns Netflix’s 2017 English-language live-action adaptation. Light Turner and Mia Sutton are the names used in this version; the cast should be distinguished from the Japanese live-action films and the anime’s voice performers. Willem Dafoe supplies Ryuk’s voice. Identifying the adaptation before comparing character names helps avoid mixing credits from very different versions of Death Note.
