Lizzy Caplan as Dr. Reagan Ridley; a brilliant yet
socially awkward robotics engineer who works at Cognito, Inc. only through her steadfast belief that society itself can be improved while managing her irresponsible coworkers while seeking out a coveted promotion along the way. Takeuchi described Reagan as an aspring leader who "wants to make the world a better place despite herself." It is frequently suggested by her friends, family, and co-workers that she has
Asperger's, which she, in turn, denies. At the end of Part 2, she is made
CEO of Cognito, Inc. after her father was sent to Shadow Prison X. Reagan is Half-
Japanese and went to the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she graduated
summa cum laude at age 13. •
Christian Slater as Randall "Rand" Ridley; Reagan's father, and Tamiko's ex-husband. former CEO and co-founder of Cognito, Inc. who was fired after nearly exposing the
Deep State and trying to blow up the
Sun as his "solution" to cure
skin cancer. He lives with his Reagan, drinking copious amounts of
alcohol and plotting revenge against his former employers. He is reinstated as Cognito, Inc. CEO by the Shadow Board at the end of Part 1, as he holds the most shares in the company. However, in Part 2, he is arrested and imprisoned at Shadow Prison X after nearly destroying the universe with a reality-altering machine called Project Reboot. Rand went to
Harvard University. •
Clark Duke as Brett Hand; a
White-American Yes-Man from
Virginia, who has a front as a
frat boy but is actually a sensitive and caring person who strives to bring out the best in his friends and colleagues. It is implied that he was hired partly because his handsome yet generic appearance made him undetectable to
facial recognition software. His dream is to be a
Puppet Designer. Like Reagan, Brett had an unhappy childhood due to being ignored and rejected by his own family, and as a result, has his fair share of bouts of social anxiety despite his cheerful and good-natured demeanor. Brett went to
Yale University. •
Tisha Campbell as Gisele "Gigi" Thompson; an
African-American public relations officer from
Atlanta, Georgia. She is the fast-talking, fashion-conscious Head of Media Manipulation and Subliminal Messages at Cognito, Inc. Gigi is also a big
flirt who is shown to have a romantic interest in Brett all the while often remarking on her looks. As they are both highly ambitious, blunt, opinionated women (and the only female members of the team), she and Reagan get along surprisingly well. •
John DiMaggio as Glenn Dolphman; Cognito's
jingoistic military advisor and armory chief who volunteered for a failed
supersoldier experiment which transformed him from a handsome White-American military veteran into an ugly human-dolphin hybrid. He is also divorced from his human wife Dolores, and has a daughter. •
Bobby Lee as Dr. Andre Lee; a free-spirited yet anxious
Korean-American biochemist who experiments with a range of unusual
narcotics, and is also addicted to some of the very same drugs he creates. •
Brett Gelman as Myc Cellium; a
psychic mushroom-like organism from a
hive mind deep inside
Hollow Earth with a dry, sarcastic demeanor and the ability to
read minds. The show's opening sequence implies that his species inadvertently brought about the evolution of humanity when their spores were consumed by ancient apes, which was confirmed to be true in the episode "Reagan & Mychelle's Hive School Reunion". Myc also provides pure bio
sorbitrate, a chemical the company uses for their
memory eraser guns, which they have to literally milk him for. •
Andy Daly as Julius Reginald "J.R." Scheimpough; the former CEO and co-founder of Cognito, Inc. He is a crafty conversationalist who can talk his way out of potentially compromising predicaments. He is sent to Shadow Prison X via tube at the end of Part 1 after attempting to
embezzle the company pension fund to purchase a volcano island lair. He later escaped and rejoined Cognito, Inc., albeit as an intern. He was rearrested and returned to Shadow Prison X for almost destroying the universe with Project Reboot near the end of Part 2. •
Chris Diamantopoulos as Alpha-Beta, a
sentient robot originally designed to serve as the "ROBOTUS" (robotic replacement of the
President of the United States). Reagan keeps him locked up in the Cognito, Inc. basement after he attempts to
take over the world, bribing him with
Friends episodes so that he will help her with various schemes. He evolves into an empathic
Artificial Intelligence upon briefly dating Reagan's mother Tamiko in Part 2.
