  • Robert "Kid Notorious" Evans (Robert Evans), a playboy Hollywood producer who finds himself mixed up in bizarre situations but never loses his cool.
  • Puss Puss, Evans' beloved cat, which follows him wherever he goes; she can play chess and smokes marijuana. Puss has a hate-hate relationship with English which has included pistol-whipping, neck crushing and piranha in the sauna.
  • English (Alan Selka), Evans' long suffering butler. A running gag involves Puss Puss farting into his face. Voiced by Evans' real life butler. Alan Selka is very much English the butler in real life.
  • Tollie Mae (Niecy Nash), Evans' loud and morbidly obese maid. Spends most of her time binge eating chocolate and lusting after Denzel Washington. Her catchphrase is "Not in my job description." Tollie Mae was named for Tollie Mae Wilson, who was Evans' housekeeper at the time of his marriage to Ali MacGraw.
  • Slash (Slash), the former lead guitarist for Guns N' Roses. He is Evans' sidekick and next door neighbor.
