List Of The Goldbergs Characters (Main And Recurring)

### Main cast

* Wendi McLendon-Covey as Beverly Goldberg,[3] the overprotective matriarch of the Goldbergs. She frequently injects herself into her children's lives, often to their embarrassment, and is supremely confident in their abilities.
* Jeff Garlin as Murray Goldberg,[3] the gruff, somewhat antisocial patriarch of the Goldbergs. Unlike Beverly, he is realistic about his children's abilities and believes she smothers them too much. He's worked full-time since his teenage years, and wants his children to learn how to fend for themselves. He runs a furniture business and loves sports.
* Sean Giambrone as Adam Goldberg,[3] the pop-culture obsessed youngest child of the Goldbergs. Smart and geeky, he often films his family's activities on a VHS camcorder.
* Troy Gentile as Barry Goldberg,[3] the overconfident, slightly dim-witted middle child of the Goldbergs. Though seemingly untalented in every way (except in ice hockey and wrestling, at which he excels), he remains highly self-assured while trying to become popular in high school.
* Hayley Orrantia as Erica Goldberg,[3] the nonchalant oldest child of the Goldbergs. Smart but rebellious, she is popular in school and dominant over her younger brothers.
* George Segal as Albert "Pops" Solomon,[3] Beverly's laid back father. Though an elderly man with a number of goofy characteristics, he acts much younger than his age and often gives sage advice to his grandchildren. Adam considers him as his best friend. He once owned the furniture store that Murray now runs.
* AJ Michalka as Lainey Lewis (Season 3–present; recurring 1–2), Erica's best friend, whom Barry has had a lifelong crush on. To the surprise of many, Lainey later becomes Barry's girlfriend.
* Patton Oswalt as adult Adam Goldberg (voice only),[5] who narrates the show from the present day.

* Stephen Tobolowsky as Principal Ball, the principal of the high school that the Goldberg children attend.
