Main Characters

  • Jackie Woodman (Laura Kightlinger), a surly writer for a second rate indie film rag and aspiring screenwriter. Her refusal to be a part of the superficial world of Hollywood is at odds with her desire to be one of the successful elite.
  • Tara Wentzel (Nicholle Tom), Jackie's best friend and an initially low-level employee at a film production company (she is promoted in season two.) Sexually promiscuous, she embodies everything about Hollywood that Jackie loathes/loves.

    • Recurring Characters

  • Skyler (Azura Skye), Jackie's editor and a trendy, superficial bitch.
  • Mitchell (Patrick Bristow), Skyler's sycophantic assistant, who is openly rude to Jackie.
  • Jeanette Woodman (Mary Kay Place), Jackie's passive-aggressive mother. She is first heard in season one over the phone and embodied by a turtle in a peyote hallucination. In season two, she visits Jackie twice, annoying Jackie incessantly in the process.
  • Angela Birnbaum (Colleen Camp), Jackie's occasional agent. She is quick to trust, love, and overestimate anyone she comes into contact with.
  • Cheryl (Octavia Spencer), a wisecracking security guard at Tara's production company.
  • Darryl (Rashaan Nall), Jackie's apartment building handyman in season one.
  • Lars Ahlstrom (Hugh Davidson), Tara's misogynistic boss in season two.
  • Jim Fig (Jon Kinnally), Jackie's hunky downstairs neighbor who moonlights as a serial killer. He randomly appears throughout season two, usually in passing as Jackie sees him outside. His appearances are followed with non sequitur glimpses of him torturing abductees or disposing of bodies. His motives are never explained or brought to the attention of any character, although Jackie chooses to ignore one of his victims when she accidentally sees him writhing below her kitchen window.
