Gordo - The ultimate gizmo - gadget guy.

Gordo is always on the cutting edge of technology and is a lifetime subscriber to Popular Science. He has multiple computers and a "command central" set up in his room. Although he is the smartest kid on the block, he does have a problem socializing. Let's just say he is a little awkward. Gordo is portrayed by Mark Warner. Mark and his wife Cindy have one awesome son.

Ty - The hyperactive budding filmmaker.

Ty is never seen without his camera, and is constantly concerned with how an event will fit into his latest new film idea. He knows lines and trivia about movies he loves and movies he wishes he could have made. He tries to be funny to cover up his feelings, but he often proves just how very, very corny he is. Ty is portrayed by Michael Murdoch. Michael and his wife Alice have two wonderful sons.

Bodie - Adventurous, daredevil, extreme-sports guy.

Bodie is the kid that will try anything. Although he's a few fries short of a happy meal, his teachers and friends love him. He has trouble with his schoolwork but is mechanically inclined enough to keep his toys running in top condition. This adrenaline junkie loves skateboarding, base jumping, rock climbing, rugby, hockey, rappelling, and motocross. Bodie is portrayed by Michael Clark. He is married to Melissa who plays Cammie. They have two adorable girls.

Cammie - Class President who's always up on the latest, coolest fashion.

Dramatic. Athletic. Overachiever. Spoiled. Just a few of the traits that describe Cammie. She is involved in a wide range of activities and knows a lot of people but has very few close friends. If you need to get it done, she's the one you look for. She never settles for "good enough." Cammie is portrayed by Melissa Clark. She is married to Michael who plays Bodie. They have two adorable girls.

Uncle Buck

Buck is Mrs. Finkenhoeffer’s brother/Gordo’s uncle. He is retired but loves to stay active in community service projects, handyman jobs, and unusual activities for someone of his generation. He’s older but very physically active. He knows and appreciates his life history but loves to hear about current trends in culture. He and Gordo share an under-appreciated sense of humor. Uncle Buck is portrayed by Rhett Barnett. Rhett is married to Amarylis and they have a beautiful daughter. 

Marshall - The quintessential renaissance kid.

When he is passionate about something, it involves his entire body and soul. His entrances are a kid version of Kramer. You never know what he's going to be carrying, wearing or dragging. He is a dedicated re-enactor. The exact nature and time of the event being re-enacted doesn't seem to matter to him. It could be the Batman retrospective, a Renaissance festival, or a Star Trek convention. He says he goes to school, but has anyone ever seen him there? Marshall is portrayed by David Dollar. David is married to Stephanie.

Sam(antha) - The Nonconformist.

Samantha defines her own style, although no one is quite sure what the rules for this style are. She tends to be absent-minded and is considered an outsider in school. Some even call her strange. Sam can quote Cat Stephens, Bob Dylan, and Frank Zappa to deal with nearly any situation. Her stay-at-home, sixties throwback father supports all of his daughters "latest causes." Sam is portrayed by Hannah Pruitt. Hannah is married to John.

Mrs. Finkenhoeffer

Mrs. F is Gordo's mother and Grandpa Henry's daughter. She is the hip neighborhood mom. She understands the kids' world in a way that keeps her up to date with the latest fads and trends. When a kid needs a sympathetic ear, it's Mrs. F that they look for. Mrs. F is portrayed by April Adams. April is married to Tim and they have two handsome boys.
