ROBERT (BOB) HARRISON
Mr. Confidential himself. He’s handsome, but thinks of himself as someone who doesn't matter in the world. Until he creates "Confidential." Suddenly he's the man-about-town, catnip to women, and the guy every man wishes he could be. With a wide, engaging smile, a rich voice, and boundless, genuine enthusiasm, even when the dice are loaded, the chips are down, and the sky is no longer the limit.

JEANNIE
Bob’s cotton-candy girlfriend is a drop-dead stunner. She’s a showgirl who gets lots of ink from the columnists, and a dumb blonde who proves to be anything but. She emerges as the emotional heart of the show, and of Bob's life.

MARJORIE
Bob’s pretty niece is an intelligent young wife and mother who unexpectedly becomes his right-hand in business. As “Confidential” gains in popularity, tabloids start calling her a “Flame-Haired Femme Fatale” and she relishes it... until they start calling her much, much worse.

HOWARD RUSHMORE
He’s the razor-sharp, red-baiting writer and editor who comes on like gangbusters but actually sees everyone as the enemy. His acid-tongue is matched by his energetic belief in his own infallibility. When things go spectacularly wrong and out of control, it is never his fault. Ask him yourself.

EDITH
Bob’s matronly older sister is a worrier and a mother hen by nature. Maybe she seems a little meek, but she morphs into a pit-bull when she has to defend her beloved brother Bob or her daughter Marjorie. Her son Michael can fight his own battles.

FRED
Marjorie's henpecked husband is a good guy, but not the smartest or most exciting of men.

MICHAEL
He's a fresh-faced, geeky high school student; Bob's nephew, Marjorie's brother, Edith's son. He idolizes his Uncle Bob and idly dreams of becoming just like him one day.

FRANCESCA
A source for magazine stories. She is sexy, mysterious, and of an indeterminate foreign origin.

FRANCES RUSHMORE
Howard Rushmore's pretty, alcoholic wife can give as good as she gets, but there's a fragility and honesty to her.

ENSEMBLE
Eight men and women play many characters, including Francesca, Fred, Edith, Michael, and Frances.
