Main characters

Cory Baxter

Cory Baxter (Kyle Massey), is a 15-year old teenager who lives at the White House. Cory lives with his dad Victor Baxter and is best friends with Newt Livingston, and Meena Paroom, on whom he had a crush. But later admitted that he and Meena were just friends and said "Being friends feels just right". Cory often is irritated with the President's daughter Sophie Martinez, because of her two-facedness. He usually looks to his dad for advice. Cory occasionally cooks up various "get-rich-quick" schemes, all of which end badly. He plays the drums and has a great sense of rhythm, which is why he is part of the band DC3 founded by Newt, Cory, and Meena. His catchphrases in this series are "Coming Daddy!" and "You know how I do." and "Dang!". Cory is similar to his big sister Raven, and they both are always getting into some crazy situation, but in the end they find a way out of it

Newt Livingston III

Newton "Newt" Livingston III (Jason Dolley), 16 the son of a senator and the Chief Justice, he is the best friend of Meena Paroom and Cory Baxter. He is a bit clueless and he loves rock and roll. He also has some similar characteristics as Raven's friend Chelsea Daniels, and Cory's friend Larry. He loves to say, "Awesome!" at something that is not really 'awesome', like when the school students were getting flu shots. Somehow, he is not smart enough to figure out obvious things, yet he has the knowledge to solve confusing things. He plays guitar, and is part of DC3. He also knows about Cory's crush on Meena. He appears to use jeans and chains whenever he is not in any particular costume. He is funny and immature. Sophie once had a crush on him.

Meena Paroom

Meena Paroom (Maiara Walsh),15 is the daughter of the Bahavian [name = msn] ambassador to the United States. She likes to wear American clothing and to listen to rock music, which her father frowns upon. Jason Stickler, the son of the head of the CIA, is obsessed with her to the point of spying on her constantly. Meena's father is very disapproving of Cory and Newt. In "Ain't Miss Bahavian" he once banned her from being near them because he believed that they had hypnotized her to disrespect their country. Her father later decided to let them still be friends after Meena came clean about the secrets she had been keeping. It's obvious that Cory has a crush on her, and he thinks she will like him back if he does nice things for her, however Meena sees them as just friends. Cory has been seen now to think of them just as friends as well. She has three different crushes in three different episodes, them being Craig Berkowitz, Nanoosh and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Meena is similar to Eddie (from "That's So Raven"). They both have a love for music, and are the only boy or girl of their group of three. According to Maiara Walsh, her Bahavian accent is a mix of Brazilian and Arabic.

Sophie Martinez

Sophie Martinez portrayed by Madison Pettis, is the precious young 8-year-old daughter of President Martinez. She is second famously known as "America's Angel" which she responds with "That's what they call me!" She is first seen as cute and precious, but later we see her as clever, sneaky, and conniving. She likes to bother Cory, and drags him into doing things he really doesn't want to do like dress up, tea parties, and playing girly or childish board games, usually giving him sass or backtalk. Cory sometimes uses her for his own advantages in return which she ends up finding out and uses against him as well as blackmail. They end up resolving their situation at the end of each episode having more respect for each other with the help of Chef Victor, Cory's father. According to a line in the episode "Mall Of Confustion ", Sophie and her family are from Sacramento. In the Wish Gone Amiss special (During the "Cory's Wish" scene), she was the main antagonist because Cory was always shirking his responsibilities. Sophie is similar to Stanley in That's So Raven, as they both get on Cory nerves and they both get him into trouble.

President Richard Martinez

President Richard Martinez portrayed by John D'Aquino, is the "President of the United States" and he enjoys saying "The President of the United States" to introduce himself (And often looks directly at the camera when he says it). He is Sophie's father and always does his best to be a good president and father at the same time. He often gets mixed up in Cory's schemes and have to deal with problems involving the government and the United States because of Cory sometimes. There are times in some episodes when he, like Cory, shirks his responsibilities, even when he was a tour guide in the "Wish Gone Amiss" episode.

Victor Baxter

Victor Baxter, portrayed by Rondell Sheridan, is the new chef at the White House. He is Cory Baxter's and Raven Baxter's father. He often resolves conflicts between other characters although he often conflicts with Samantha Samuels.A running gag is that he often embarrasses himself by misinterpreting what people say to him.Example: When the president asked him what he thought of the tour guide outfit (an outfit which included a skirt), Victor said that he would have to shave his legs, but he would wear it if the president said so. He also often says "I'll go pack..." when Cory gets in trouble, and another of his catcphases is "Here come the pain..." President Martinez came to his restaurant, The Chill Grill, to try hisfood. Then the president decided to have Victor be the new executive chef in the White House. Victor's appearances on the show are always brief yet comical.

Samantha Samuels

Samantha Samuels, portrayed by Lisa Arch, is President Richard Martinez's Personal Assistant. She is very strict and likes things fit to the President's needs. She hates Cory's schemes in which he tries to make money, which end up involving the President. Chef Victor affectionately describes Samantha as "overly stressed". She likes bird calls, and can do them better than the President. Samantha does however have a soft side which she showed to Sophie during her slumber party in "I Ain't Got No Rhythm" as it was her first one and she was ecstatic. Sophie sometimes assigns her to do her homework.

And in the end, he was always bested by Cory.Jason's father is the director of the CIA and equips him with all the latest CIA technology. Jason often uses the CIA devices to his own benefit, although his plans usually go wrong. He is also sometimes seen with an 80's-style haircut and is very proficient with the keyboard. His Father is 001. He is a fan of Sci-fi movies and films.And sometimes, he's the male antagonist.
