Charlotte Ryan is a fictional character on the CBS television series The Unit. She is portrayed by Scottish actress Rebecca Pidgeon, the wife of playwright David Mamet, the creator of The Unit.[1]
Nothing is much known about Charlotte. Her maiden name is Canning, and she is a Washington insider. At the end of Season 1, she marries Colonel Tom Ryan, commanding officer of the U.S. Army 1st Special Actions Group (official cover as the "303rd Logistical Studies Group"). During the post-wedding celebration, Charlotte was shot twice in the back when a Serbian war criminal discovered the Unit's headquarters and attacked Alpha Team. Later this puts Ryan to concern about base security more than before, sometimes even against wives of the unit operators.
In Season 2, Charlotte is on the brink of legal trouble when she ran another driver off the road while under the influence of drugs, a crime that Tiffy Gerhardt took the heat for. Later she helps Tiffy to avoid going jail, but she finally doesn't admit that the incident was related with her.
In early Season 3, it is revealed that Charlotte has been sold secret informations about the unit so rogue CIA agents are able to use them against members of the unit. After the Unit is to be reinstated, Col. Ryan decides to end his marriage.
