Californication Insider

Played by: Pamela Adlon

Occupation: Beauty Salon Manager

Signature look: Fresh, brash, hard core.

Personality: woman who never minces words, unapologetic.

Marcy’s backstory: the middle of a nasty divorce with Hank’s agent/best friend, Charlie. Reluctantly, she has allowed her soon-to-be-ex-husband to move back in while they sort out the details of their pending split. But after Charlie got far too close with one her salon customers, will Marcy set her sights on one of his new clients?

Played by: Evan Handler

Occupation: Hank’s agent

Signature look: The typical, casual L.A. businessman: dress shirt, black slacks with matching jacket, unbuttoned.

Personality: Charlie is a nice guy, but tends to have a bit of a short fuse. However, the guy has a soft spot, too, and tends to get emotional.

Charlie’s backstory: Charlie is a long-time, good friend of Hank Moody and his ex-girlfriend, Karen. He is also Hank’s agent and is married to a sassy professional bikini waxer named Marcy.

VIRTUES AND VICES

Moral values: Being a family man and standing by Hank through thick and thin.

Vices(s): his BDSM loving secretary.

Regret(s): his BDSM loving secretary.

Personal Goal(s): To get into shape and sell the shit out of whatever Hank Moody writes.

Played by: Madeline Zima

Occupation: High school student at an all-girls private school

Signature look: Classy, sophisticated, and trendy. Her style makes her appear to be older than she actually is.

Personality: Mia is mischievious and appears to be pure evil. However, she does have her moments (i.e. being a good almost step-sister to Becca).

Mia’s backstory: Mia Gross is a sixteen year old girl from southern California. Her mother obviously died and she was left with her father, Bill, who was obviously never in touch with his emotions to begin with. Bill generally ignores her and as a result, Mia seeks a father figure elsewhere, namely, in the unlikely character of Hank Moody.

VIRTUES AND VICES

Moral values: Apparently none. But deep down Mia has a sense of right and wrong.

Vices(s): Sleeping with older men (so far only Hank), blackmailing Hank, drinking, and overdosing on pills.

Regret(s): Losing her mother.

Personal Goal(s): To mooch off Hank as much as possible.

Played by: Madeleine Martin

Occupation: Middle School student

Signature look: Gothic/punk. Long dark hair with straight bangs, black eyeliner, and dark clothes.

Personality: Quiet, intelligent and insightful. She inherited her father’s truthfulness and kindness and both of her parents love of music.

Becca’s backstory: Becca was born in New York City, but moved to Los Angeles, California around age nine or ten. Shortly after, her parents split up and she went to live with her mother and her mother’s new boyfriend, Bill Gross, and his daughter, Mia.

VIRTUES AND VICES

Moral values: Kindness and helping out those in need

Vices(s): Occasionally cursing

Regret(s): Her mom and dad breaking up.

Personal Goal(s): Becoming a kick ass rockstar.
