List of Lizzie McGuire characters

List of Lizzie McGuire characters

This is a complete listing of characters from the Disney Channel original series "Lizzie McGuire".

Main Characters

*Elizabeth Brooke "Lizzie" McGuire, played by Hilary Duff: Lizzie is a self-conscious seventh grader, and later an eighth grader. She deals with issues like those normal teenagers deal with-- issues involving clothes, boys, parents, and friends.

*Miranda Isabella Sanchez, played by Lalaine: Miranda is Lizzie's other best friend who rounds out the main triumvirate. She's also the rebel of the three. But in the end, Lizzie's always there to have her back. She does not appear in the last six episodes of the show, or in the Lizzie McGuire Movie, and writers cited various reasons to cover for her absence.

*David Zephyr "Gordo" Gordon, played by Adam Lamberg: Gordo is Lizzie's best friend since she was one day old. Usually, he offers sarcasm and good advice. He is very intelligent and always gets good grades. He is also revealed to be of the Jewish faith as shown in one episode where he has a Bar Mitzvah. In the episode "The Untitled Stan Jenson Project", it was revealed that Lizzie had a crush on him in the fourth grade.

*Matthew "Matt" McGuire, played by Jake Thomas: Matt is Lizzie's younger brother. As a stock character, he often is destroying something, and has a best friend named Lanny, who doesn't talk (on screen). Matt is clever and wily, and has a reputation for getting into trouble. Matt and Lizzie share a typical brother-sister relationship. They fool around, annoy each other, but are always there for each other at the end of each episode.

*Jo McGuire, played by Hallie Todd: Jo is Lizzie's mother. She cares deeply about Lizzie, but is still trying to figure out raising a teenager. As a result, she sometimes tends to "mess up" situations in Lizzie's life, all the while trying to help make them better. At the end of each episode, Jo and Lizzie tend to come to an understanding and portray the unfaltering mother-daughter love.

*Samuel "Samuel or Sam" McGuire, played by Robert Carradine: Sam is Lizzie's father. He can be best described as a bit goofy and quite clueless about raising a teenager. However, he always tries his best to help Lizzie out and understand her, and is always available to lend a helping hand.

econdary Characters

*Kate Sanders/Saunders (Ashlie Brillault) is the most popular girl in Lizzie's school. Once one of Lizzie's best friends, Kate became Lizzie's enemy after she became popular because she got a bra after summer camp was over. Kate likes trying to make Lizzie's life impossible to live, but Lizzie always manages to outsmart Kate and always comes out on top. References in episodes are inconsistent about her last name.Fact|date=April 2007

*Ethan Craft (Clayton Snyder) is the boy who Lizzie, Miranda, and the rest of the girls at school have a huge crush on. He's not so bright but he's kind and friendly to everyone. In Season 1, he was portrayed as more of "The Bad Boy". For example, he used to force Gordo do things against his will. At the beginning of the series, Danny Kessler was the "crush boy" instead, but he was not heard from again after the first few episodes.

*Lawrence "Larry" Tudgeman (Kyle Downes) A school dork who is basically treated like an outcast by everyone except by Lizzie and her friends (with exceptions). He has also been known to wear the same shirt since the second grade. Larry has a huge crush on Lizzie (that she does not return), and even asks her out to go to the science museum, which Lizzie accepts in order to make him feel accepted.

*Claire Miller (Davida Williams) Kate's new best friend who is also not very kind to Lizzie. She can sometimes even be unkind to her friends including Kate as shown in the episode "The Rise & Fall of The Kate Empire." Your typical popular girl, to sum it up, as portrayed on TV.

*Lanny Onasis (Christian Copelin) Matt's best friend who has never spoken on screen, but yet he communicates with Matt without any difficulties.

*Melina Bianco (Carly Schroeder) Matt's friend who loves getting Lanny and Matt into trouble and eventually becomes his girlfriend. She is first introduced as Matt's enemy, but they both begin to have feelings for each other.

*"Mr. Dig" Digby Sellers (Arvie Lowe Jr.) Lizzie's cool laid-back substitute teacher. In his lessons he often implies that he has educated celebrities like Frankie Muniz and Christina Aguilera.

Minor Characters

*Eduardo and Daniela Sanchez (played by Armando Molina and Dyana Ortelli):Miranda's parents.

*Howard and Roberta Gordon (played by Michael Mantell and Alison Martin) :Gordo's parents, who are both psychiatrists.

*Parker Mackenzie (Chelsea J. Wilson) :Parker is another girl who is crushed on by Gordo. She is a vegetarian as shown in the episode "Obsession." Gordo and Parker end up hitting a dead end in any relationship they might have had the potential to have, simply because, as it turned out, Gordo was too short for Parker, in her opinion.

*Danny Kessler (Byron Fox) :Lizzie and Miranda's first heart-throb. He appeared on the first few episodes and then was never seen again. He was mentioned in the episode "My Fair Larry."

*Veruca Albano (Rachel Snow) :A nerdy girl who is very rough. She appears once in Season 1 and then appears more often when we see Lizzie in the 8th grade.

*Amy Sanders/Saunders (Haylie Duff) :Kate's cousin. She acts quite a bit like a complete older version of Kate. Kate and Amy tend to have a rocky relationship, in the only episode that Amy appears in. In this episode, Kate is shown to have a softer, slightly self-conscious side.

*Coach Kelly (Dot Jones):Gym teacher at Hillridge Junior High.

*Principal Tweedy (Phill Lewis):Principal of Hillridge Junior High.

*Mr. Escobar (Daniel R. Escobar) :A teacher at Hillridge Junior High who has taught Lizzie's class.

*Two Big Guys :Sam's best friends from softball. Two big fat guys that own a pet chimp named Frado. Lizzie also saves one of their lives in "Rated Aargh!".

Animated Lizzie

Animated Lizzie is an animated character in the show. She represents the title character's inner thoughts, addressing the audience directly in the manner of a Greek chorus. The show wasn't the first series to use animation to reflect a live-action character's innermost thoughts, however; "Student Bodies", a syndicated program about the struggles of a cartoonist for a school newspaper, often used the artist's surrealistic caricatures of himself and his friends to visually illustrate his interior monologues. Animated Lizzie is also voiced by series star Hilary Duff.
