List of figures in heaven in bro'Town

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Episodes of the New Zealand animated television series bro'Town are "bookended" by scenes from heaven. These scenes generally relate to the content of the main story of the episode as it takes place on earth. God and his son Jesus Christ are always present: God (voiced by Mario Gaoa) is portrayed as a well-built Pacific Islander in a lavalava and is the benevolent father-figure; while Jesus (voiced by Shimpal Lelisi) is portrayed as a skittish emotion-prone teenager, also a Pacific Islander (but with blue eyes). God is usually attended by two angels, named Angelina and Angelita.

God and Jesus are usually joined by famous deceased figures from history, culture, sport, politics, religion and mythology, and sometimes even extinct species of animal. A list of these famous figures are below.
