CAST:
Jesse Hutch: Blake Fox
Blake is an all-in, live in the moment, ask questions later type of Guy. He’s married and loves his wife and 3 children dearly, yet he goes head first into dangerous situations as though he has nothing to lose. Not careless, but the excitement of the “chase” outweighs the logical possibility of death.

Don McLeod: John Hunter
Hunter is one of the most experienced members of the unit. His ways are set in stone, twice. He is fiercely loyal to those he trusts, which could be no one. Hunter upholds respect and honour, but only towards those he respects and honours. He uses these qualities to cover his deepest pain: The loss of a loved one, but he would never admit this, because he’s a tough guy.

Adrian Holmes: The Boss
He runs the show. He knows everything that goes on everywhere. Everyone wants to please him but can’t. He makes you feel like you almost did but won’t. The Boss is no ones friend. No one really knows where he lives, where he’s from, or his relational status. He seems to appear out of nowhere. A witness claimed to have once saw him exiting a shipping container in harbour nine, but there’s no substantial evidence to back this claim.

Leanne Wang: Zhang.
Zhang works the front desk. No one gets in without her knowing about it. She’s a sweetheart who wants to be a member of the Undercover unit so bad. She has a soft spot for fancy donuts, and the manga series Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto. She puts on a fake accent because, she thinks, the guy she may have a crush on likes it.

Mozhdah Jamalzadah: Nia
The youngest of all the officers, but don’t let her age fool you, and don’t let her innocent beauty mislead you. She’s smart as a whip. A great balance of emotion and passion. She put herself through school. A single mother, who loves her daughter immensely. Everything she does is for her. Nia’s motto is to “get home safe, but die trying.” Think of her as a delicate vase, filled with plutonium.

Samuel Vincent Khouth: Sam
Sam always has an underlying attitude of anger, and is always operating out of a fear of missing out, and yet he’s somehow likeable. He’s small, fast and tough. His talent of impersonations and accents have earned him the nickname“chameleon”. No matter the circumstance, whether good, bad, or ugly, Sam will adjust to get the job done. No one knows this, but he’s named after a Dr. Seuss character.

Andy Nez: Nick
A jolly fellow, but make no mistake, if he tackled you, your ancestors would feel it. Nick is known as the “method man”, because when he goes undercover, he is, who he is, whoever that may be. He will never break cover until the time is right. Nick once went undercover as Santa Clause, he wasn't seen for three years. He enjoys coffee, checkers and graffiti art. He is good with guns, and has the ability to discern if someone is up to no good.

Karen Holness: Alxeis
Alex as her friends call her, is happily enjoying her 2nd marriage. She has the most life experience of anyone in the unit. She’s not politically correct, doesn't offend easily and believes in hard work. Her matter-of-fact humour is always a riot. If shits gonna go down you want this woman on your side.

Hrothgar Mathews: Vinny
Vinny is a street rat. He will say whatever, to whomever, to get out of anything. He will lie, cheat, and steal, but he would never kill a fly. He’s a slippery snake with a cute puppy exterior.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0558645/ 
Harrison Houde: Guy
If you haven’t guessed already, this is the pizza guy. He's always wanted to be a police officer, but failed the physical, like ten times. He delivers pizza to the precinct and somehow always gets into places that he shouldn’t. Guy is easy going, energetic, and fashionable. He enjoys anime, Justin Bieber music and exotic donuts.

A slick moving parkour perp. Always one step ahead of the law... or is he?
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1432256/ 
Claudell Louis: Bar Back Eddy aka B.B.E
A giant man. A brute force. A beast. A street smart warrior. Loves Granny's home made peach cobbler.
Andrew Gerard: Maloney
The most infamous yet famous crime boss of our time. Highly respected in the criminal community and highly feared by everyone else around the world. None of the good guys and girls have ever seen him... or have they?
