## Characters**​​**​

### Tuck James

Tucker "Tuck" James is a 13-year-old teenager who has just started eighth grade and sees it as a life-altering event. Tucker faces the travails of a teen's life with his trademark humour and rebounds from the fouls dealt by bullies and the occasional intruding parent by seeking solace in his friendship with Miles. He and Becca have been best friends since they were born and remain committed to each other through thick and thin.

* Played by Ben Foster
* Tucker (aged 5) is played by Marc Donato

### Becca Fisher

Rebecca "Becca" Fisher, also 13, is the much-flustered best friend of Tucker and is experiencing the same disillusionment with eighth grade. Her new best friend is Christine, someone who Becca sees as an easier person than Tucker to confide in about the things that are starting to matter (namely boys). Becca also faces ridicule from her bossy and stuck-up sister Ellen and carries a secret crush on the local pizza maker, Gooch.

* Played by Jewel Staite
* Becca (aged 5) is played by Jennifer Pisana

### Miles Vaughn

Miles is Tucker's new best friend and starts the eighth grade year off as his constant companion. He often acts as the voice of reason in his relationship with Tucker, often bringing Tucker back down to the ground when Tucker allows his flights of fancy to get the better of him.

* Played by Theodore Borders

### Chris Harrison

Christine "Chris" Harrison is Becca's new best friend and often finds herself in the middle of Becca's schemes and troubles. She serves as a source of companionship and most importantly a listener, someone Becca can confide in during their ever-changing world. Christine is the owner of the dubiously named Steve, a dog.

* Played by Asia Vieira

### Horace James

Horace is Tucker's long-suffering brother. He is often the butt of Tucker's jokes and pranks, but holds a great deal of respect for his older brother. He is known for capturing all on his video camera, sometimes using the footage to his advantage as blackmail against Tucker. He is very much the typical annoying little brother.

* Played by Ricky Mabe

### Ellen Fisher

Ellen is Becca's domineering, self-centered older sister. She has no real respect for anyone other than herself and (arguably) her boyfriend Ryan. Ellen is often a source of pain and discomfort for her younger sister.

* Played by Rachel Blanchard (Episode 1-4) and then Robin Brule ​​​​
