Main characters
Hosts
- Christian "Chris" McLean (voiced by Christian Potenza) is the host of Total Drama. While in the beginning of the series, Chris preferred to remain out of the challenges and act more impartial, as the series progressed he involved himself more. He became obsessed with getting views, and his narcissism caused him to do more stuff focusing on him (such as making Total Drama Action's symbol of immunity be a "gilded Chris award". He also made the challenges progressively more dangerous, believing it would bring in more viewers. At the end of Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, he is arrested for hosting the show at a toxic island, and is released one year later where he immediately starts the next season. At the end of Total Drama: Pahkitew Island, he takes a vacation.
- Chef Hatchet (voiced by Clé Bennett) is the co-host of Total Drama. While not technically considered the show's official host, he has hosted on several occasions, such as if Chris is absent or simply if the challenge demands it. During Total Drama Action, he makes an illegal alliance with DJ in attempts to make more money, agreeing to help him win if DJ splits the winnings with him. After this fails, he considers quitting the show at the end of the season, however Chris convinces him to stay, calling them a team. During the third season, he makes another illegal alliance, this time with Blaineley having approached him. This alliance is much more short-lived, however. He continues to help Chris host the show, often doing more of the grunt work that Chris doesn't want to do.
- Don (voiced by Terry McGurrin) is the host of The Ridonculous Race. Unlike his Total Drama counterpart, Don seems to want to remain more impartial during challenges. Also, he seems to show concern for the contestants safety when in dangerous situations. Although not to the same extant as Chris, Don has shown to have a slight ego, often adding in small comments about his looks.

Supporting characters
Other characters have appeared briefly to interact with the main cast. These include Chris's unnamed interns, who test challenges before use and serve as Chris's personal assistants; contestants' family members appearing in video messages and calls; special guests from the aftermath episodes of Total Drama Action and Total Drama World Tour; and a variety of animals, from pets to challenge obstacles.
Family members
Various family members are often mentioned in passing by the contestants. The final five in Total Drama Island received video messages from home sent by their family members (and a friend in Leshawna's case), who appeared in the tapes. In the finale of Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, both Cameron and Lightning talked to their parents via video chat.
- Leshaniqua (voiced by Novie Edwards) is Leshawna's cousin who visits her as part of a reward. While they're together, they trash talk the rest of the cast, causing them to lose trust for Leshawna upon finding out.
- José Burromuerto (voiced by Alex House) is Alejandro's brother who had bullied him growing up. During the finale of Total Drama World Tour, Alejandro was slowed down when Heather called him José, and then again when Cody kept calling him "Al" (a nickname given to him by his José). He makes his official debut during the boxing challenge, where he fights Alejandro. While at first he is winning, after insulting Heather, Alejandro manages to beat him.
- DJ's mother (voiced by Clé Bennett), referred to as Mama by the contestants, appears to support her son after quitting the competition. She later allows the contestants to use her bus to stop the cast of Total Drama Dirtbags.
- Jerd McLean (voiced by Christian Potenza) is Chris' cousin and has a thick Newfoundland accent that is very difficult to understand, with Chris being the only character to fully comprehend him. Alejandro is also able to partially understand him, but had difficulty figuring out what Jerd was saying. He appears in "Newf Kids on the Rock" and plays a role in the challenge when the contestants have to translate a sentence he dictated. Jerd apparently dislikes Noah stating that he is "as smart as a bag of rocks." Each time Jerd speaks, music from Sea Shanty Mix is played.
- Owen's mother (voiced by Lauren Lipson) tells Owen that she spent fifty thousand dollars on a giant cheese cellar, which excites Owen and makes him want to come home, even though their family is broke from this expense. She eventually tells Owen to come home because his family misses him. She resembles Sadie despite her blond hair, and is even voiced by the same voice actor. Owen does a shout-out to her mother at the end of Total Drama All-Stars.
- Owen's father makes an appearance in his video message from home. He appears to be very proud of his son.
- Heather's mother (voiced by Julie Lemieux[2]), and Heather's father appear in her video message from home. They are seen partying and moving out all of Heather's belongings in her absence.
- Duncan's father and mother are seen with his parole officer in his video message from home. While his mother attempts to show support and reassurance that she loves him, his father questions if they do because "the boy's a criminal."
- Gwen's mother and brother appear in her video message from home where it's revealed her mother paid their neighbor to act as Gwen in her absence.
- Cameron's mother (voiced by Kevin Duhaney) was mentioned in Cameron's audition tape that she is very protective of him. She is later seen in a video call from home in "Brain vs. Brawn: The Ultimate Showdown", where she tells him he has to win to fuel the air for his bubble. She calls her son "Cammy Bear". In terms of appearance, she greatly resembles her son.
- Lightning's father is seen in a video call from home in "Brain vs. Brawn: The Ultimate Showdown", though his face is not shown. He does not appear to be very affectionate, never even turning to look at his son in the video call.
General characters
- Mr. Coconut is a coconut that Owen drew a face on after being left in isolation for too long. After becoming too attached, Chris "eliminated" Mr. Coconut to help Owen return to reality. The coconut doesn't appear again for a very long time, but in Total Drama All-Stars, Mr. Coconut appears in the season intro inside a submerged treasure chest. It also appears again in the season finale. Christian Potenza says that Mr. Coconut is one of his favorite characters in the show.
- The escaped psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook (voiced by Scott McCord in Total Drama Island and Brian Froud in Total Drama All-Stars) is a serial killer who escaped and ended up at Camp Wawanakwa. Thinking he was part of the horror movie challenge, Gwen taunted him. Upon realizing he wasn't, she kicked him repeatedly in the face, causing him to leave. Chris later used him as part of the fake cast of Total Drama Dirtbags. At some point after he was arrested.
- Josh (voiced by Dwayne Hill) is the co-host of Celebrity Manhunt who interviews the cast of Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action.
- Brady (voiced by Dan Petronijevic) is Beth's boyfriend. He was supposedly a made-up person by Beth to make her seem cool, but at the end of the final episode, he is seen in both endings followed by Heather saying "Not only is he real. He's really handsome" and Justin saying "Is it not bad enough that this show made me into a goblin? Now I got his 'gorgeousity' making me come off as even more hideous, great." in the original version and "Now I wish I didn't vote for her [Beth]." in the alternate ending. He only had one line on the original ending which was "Oh, was I supposed to bring a prize?"
- Emily was first seen in the episode, "Celebrity Manhunt's TDA Reunion Special" when Chris and Chef are at the airport in the ending. In Total Drama World Tour, she is the main flight attendant who serves the contestants that are in first-class.
- Jasmine is Leshawna's friend who "auditioned" for Total Drama Action, but never actually competed in the season. She explains that she has attended McGillis Talent Agency, a drama class, and lives in a rough neighborhood on a peninsula, in which she calls it a "Total Drama Peninsula". She is unique because the other videos show family members, but this shows a best friend, which implies Jasmine is like family to Leshawna. Jasmine is the first family-like figure in Leshawna's life to make an appearance.
Pets and animals
There are also many notable non-human characters in the series that serve as obstacles in the challenges while other characters serve as pets owned by some contestants.
- Sasquatchanakwa is a yeti who appears in every season. During the first season, a group of Sasquatchanakwas are seen staring at a sleeping Owen, and later he attacks the contestants after they stay in the woods over night. During the second season he appears as part of a challenge, and seems to have much more human-like qualities (even talking and using the confessional). He appears as part of the fake cast of Total Drama Dirtbags. During the third season he is again placed in challenges by Chris to attack the contestants. During the fourth season, he kidnaps Lindsay after he begins to feel insecure. In the fifth season, he is brought to Chris by Zoey as part of a challenge, and in the second half of the season he is frozen solid. In the spin-off, a frozen Sasquachanakwa is seen taking a picture with Kitty, and later a Sasquatchanakwa with white fur appears.
- Bruno is a bear Bridgette rescued after it's paw was injured. After helping him, he followed her back to Hawaii where he refused to let Geoff get to close to Bridgette, attacking him whenever he did. After Blaineley, who was in a full body cast, was thrown into the water, Bruno saved her, and began using her as a chew toy, distracting him from Geoff and allowing Bridgette and Geoff to reunite.
- Fang is a mutant shark obsessed with Scott. After eating him, Scott knocked out Fang's tooth, causing Fang to start chasing him to get it back. At the end of the fourth season, Fang gets his tooth back and mauls Scott. During the following season he still hates Scott, hurting him at any chance he gets. After Mike knocks out his tooth and gives it to Alejandro and Heather, Fang begins to chase instead.
- Larry is Chris's pet Venus fly trap that he left on the island before renting it out to a toxic waste disposal company. During the fifth season, Larry has babies, causing Zoey to question if Larry is actually a Laurie.
- Loki is a bunny adopted by Crimson and Ennui during the race. He often helps them during the challenges, being dubbed by Don as the unofficial third member of the team. He is kidnapped by the Ice Dancers later in the season, and causes Crimson and Ennui to lose the race.
- Scruffy was Duncan's pet spider. He is sent to Duncan from home in "2008: A Space Owen", along with the other cast members' packages from home. However, Scruffy is accidentally killed in the same episode by Harold, when he was smashed while Harold was riding The Vomit Comet.
- Irene was DJ's pet fish that he owned during "Newf Kids on the Rock" and "Jamaica Me Sweat", but then found out that Alejandro was using her to trick him.
- Leshawna Jr. was Harold's pet snail in Total Drama Action. Harold first found her upon waking up in after Duncan puts the snail in Harold's blanket as a prank. Harold then feels an attachment to the snail, due to the fact he believes that she looks like Leshawna, and then stores her in a match box for safekeeping. Later on, Leshawna Jr. is eliminated by Chris so it heads out packing. While Leshawna Jr. travels out into nature, Chris says that if Leshawna Jr. will ever make it out of the film lot before the year 2020.
- Cody Jr. is a baby condor that hatches out of one of Sierra's condor eggs that she is carrying for the challenge. Sierra then considers Cody Jr. as her and Cody's child because they are "married". However, due to Heather being the first thing Cody Jr. ever saw, it considers Heather to be its mother, much to both Heather and Sierra's annoyance.
Special guests
There are also special guests who appeared in the aftermath episodes of Total Drama Action and Total Drama World Tour.
- Ginger (voiced by Sarah Gadon) is Trent's obsessed fan from Sudbury, Ontario. She told Trent that she would've loved it if he "went psycho-crazy" over her, referring to Gwen’s dislike of his strange behavior. He looked a bit uncomfortable, whether it was about the subject of him going crazy, or because of Ginger's overly strong crush on him. She resembles Beth to an extent, and is even voiced by Sarah Gadon.
- Gordon (voiced by Adam Reid) is a furious young man from London, Ontario, who wants to be a chef. He has anger management issues, and frequently swears. He attempts to figure out what the secret ingredient is in DJ's food. He seems to be a parody of the world-renowned British chef, Gordon Ramsay, who is famous for his constant swearing at contestants on shows such as Hell's Kitchen, and Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. Gordon is voiced by Adam Reid.
- Kelsey (voiced by Kristin Fairlie) from Kamloops, British Columbia, is another Trent fan, a bit more obsessed than the last one, Ginger, and possibly proves herself to be somewhat unsound. Her voice actor is unknown as of yet. She has a stuffed doll of Trent that she kissed in the video nine times. Trent is terrified of her, due to her obsessiveness.
- Harvey, from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, asks Leshawna if she is in a relationship with Harold, to which she replies that they are just friends. Throughout the interview, Harvey hints that he has a crush on Leshawna, too. Harvey is somewhat similar to Harold in terms of personality, but has many physical differences like braces, a different pair of glasses, and a different hair color.
- Willy, from Wiarton, Ontario, apparently Bridgette’s "biggest" fan, goes on the webcam, at Bridgette’s request. Willy, resembling Harvey from a previous aftermath, tells Bridgette that he doesn’t want to be too obvious and ask Bridgette about footwear or catching waves. Willy then states that there’s something he really wants to know about Bridgette, takes out a pole, and asks her if she would kiss it. This upsets Bridgette and causes her to snap.
Mike's alternate personalities
- Chester (voiced by Corey Doran) is an old man personality who appears whenever Mike is frustrated. He seems to have no respect for Mike, constantly making fun of him when in control of the body. After Mike beats his personalities, Chester begins to respect him more, and later teams up with him to stop Mal. Eventually he is wiped from existence with the other personalities.
- Svetlana (voiced by Corey Doran) is a Russian gymnast who appears whenever Mike is unable to complete a physical challenge.
