List of Felicity characters

The following is a partial list of characters from the television series Felicity:

Main characters

Felicity Porter

The main cast of Felicity.

Played by Keri Russell. Felicity is the main character of the show. The series opens with Felicity's high school graduation. She intends to attend Stanford University and study pre-med. A sudden change of heart, after a conversation with her high school crush, leads her to abandon those plans and go to the University of New York instead. Once there she quickly realizes that she needs to find herself, away from her parents' sometimes overbearing influence and expectations. She begins her freshman year as an intelligent and thoughtful yet extremely impulsive person; however, as the show progresses, she grows into a more secure and centered young woman.

Ben Covington

Played by Scott Speedman. Ben is the initial reason Felicity moves to New York. Like Felicity, he moved from Palo Alto, California to New York. He is not a strong student but is athletic and is especially good at swimming. His home life is complex. While his father (played by John Ritter) is an alcoholic and continually makes promises only to break them, Ben's mother continues to stay with her husband. Ben has difficulty expressing his feelings and initially appears not to be very thoughtful or contemplative (especially in contrast to Felicity). He often makes hasty or detrimental decisions that he later regrets. However, throughout the series, Ben's true depth and sensitivity are revealed.

Noel Crane

Played by Scott Foley. Noel first appeared in the show as Felicity's Resident Advisor. Noel quickly becomes attracted to Felicity and pursues a relationship with her. Noel comes from a working class background and has one older brother who is homosexual. He is a strong student and excels at graphic design.

Julie Emrick

Played by Amy Jo Johnson. Julie is Felicity's first real friend at UNY. She is a talented guitar player and singer/songwriter. In the first season, it is revealed that she has come to New York to find her birth mother.

Elena Tyler

Played by Tangi Miller. Elena is Felicity's first lab partner and also lives on Felicity's floor in the dorm. She is from New York and has lived only with her father since her mother's death. She is a fiercely competitive and driven student with plans to attend medical school. She comes off as much more confident and direction driven than Felicity, but, as they become closer, she opens up and reveals some her own insecurities.

Meghan Rotundi

Played by Amanda Foreman. Meghan is Felicity's first roommate during her dorm days. She is a goth wiccan and appears to be the polar opposite of Felicity, whom she describes living with as "like living with a TV that's always playing Little House on the Prairie, only with more sweaters." Initially she and Felicity fail to see eye-to-eye on things, but by the end of the series Meghan and Felicity have formed a very close and lasting friendship.

Sean Blumberg

Played by Greg Grunberg. Sean is not a student at UNY with everyone else. He is in his mid to late twenties and owns his own loft apartment. Ben is roommates with him during the first season and subsequently, Julie, Meghan and Noel all live there at some point. He doesn't appear to have a job throughout the series (until the end), but is constantly coming up with new entrepreneurial ideas. A partial list includes: marzipan boxers (edible), disposable camera vending machines, Lacto’s milkless cereal (just add water), Bagel knobs – injected w/ cream cheese and lox, etc., Shreme (sugar and cream), Flavored pen caps, Marshmallow rotisserie, Smoothaise (a condiment of unknown ingredients), Shrimp yogurt, ‘Before and After’ – a restaurant that only serves appetizers and desserts, Sleep mask alarm clock combo, Comfort cologne – smells like guys’ favorite foods - mac and cheese, brisket, lasagna, etc. and Shoe covers. In season 2, he and Meghan Rotundi begin dating and in season 4 they, rather impulsively, get married.

Javier Clemente Quintata

Played by Ian Gomez. Javier is Felicity and Ben's manager at Dean & DeLuca, a coffee shop. He is from Spain, speaks in a strong Spanish accent and is animated and bubbly. He becomes very close with both Felicity and Ben and, through them comes to know Elena, Noel and Julie. He has a boyfriend, Samuel and they get married at the end of season two. He also decides to go back to school and get his degree beginning in season three.

Richard Coad

Played by Rob Benedict. Richard lived on the same floor as Felicity, Julie, Elena, and Noel in the first season. He is annoying, meddlesome and crude. At the beginning of the show, he blackmailed Noel by threatening to expose his relationship with Felicity. As a result Noel ignores his violations of dorm code, involving him running a hand modeling business out of his dorm room and bringing in a grill to cook hamburgers. Eventually, however, he and Noel become very close friends.
