The Hicks
Wayne
Wayne (Jared Keeso) is the leader of the hicks regarded as "toughest guy in Letterkenny," a title he regularly backs up. We do not definitively know Wayne's last name, however his sister Katy lists her full name as Katy Campbell in her Fartbook profile[2] in season 1. Wayne is protective of his sister and he is best friends with Daryl and Squirrelly Dan. He is very proper and well-mannered, but he often gets into fights to protect the community, his friends, and his farm. Wayne is almost always seen in a tucked-in flannel shirt, jeans, and boots. He occasionally wears a turtleneck, much to the scrutiny of his peers, during the winter months.
Daryl
Daryl, nicknamed Dary (Nathan Dales) a dairy farmer who has been best friends with Wayne since childhood. He is the group's resident snarker, despite seeming a bit slow on the uptake from time to time. He is generally unlucky in love. Daryl tends to be the butt of many of jokes, whether it is his own doing, or simply from his appearance/comments.
Katy
Katy Campbell[2] (Michelle Mylett) is sister to Wayne. She is confident and well-respected in Letterkenny, although in early episodes she expresses disdain for Dan and especially Daryl. She is bisexual, and many partners of hers are alluded to.
Squirrelly Dan
"Squirrelly" Dan (K. Trevor Wilson) is the hicks' storyteller with a tendency to append "S" to singular words as his trademark, e.g. "That's what I appreciates about yous Ms. Katys." He is slightly more open sexually, which unnerves Wayne and Daryl. He was formerly a drug-addicted skid, and he thinned down as a result.
McMurray
McMurray (Dan Petronijevic) is another member of the agricultural community in Letterkenny and president of the Agricultural Hall. McMurray is of Scottish and Serbian descent, and he is a stereotypical "man's man" full of big talk and sexual machismo, despite wanting to be forward-thinking. He can be called on for any fight the hicks get into that Wayne and friends cannot personally resolve. McMurray speaks generally with a clenched jaw, so many of his words sound jumbled or slurred.
Mrs. McMurray
Mrs. McMurray (Melanie Scrofano) is McMurray's wife and his secretary at the Agricultural Hall. She is bisexual and a swinger, along with her husband, and often drinks gin and tonics.
Gail
Gail (Lisa Codrington) is the owner of MoDean's (and later MoDean's II and MoD3ans). She is hypersexual and highly attracted to Wayne, regularly propositioning him to Wayne's mild discomfort. She is prone to occasional outbursts of swearing. She is the cousin of Rosie and Bradley.
Others
- Bonnie McMurray (Kamilla Kowal) is McMurray's sister, who harbours a crush on Wayne. She is first employed at the dollar store before working as a bartender at MoDean's. Daryl, Dan, and Katy all take romantic interest in her.
- Angie (Kalinka Petrie) is Wayne's ex-girlfriend and high school sweetheart, who later becomes sexually involved with several members of the Letterkenny Irish hockey team.
- Jim Dickins (Alex McCooeye) is an agricultural auctioneer and member of the Agricultural Hall board. He is frequently misnamed "Dickskin" by other members of the board, especially the McMurrays.
- Rosie (Clark Backo) is one of Gail's cousins, a bookworm who begins a relationship with Wayne after their dogs mate.
- Bradley (Adrian Holmes) is another of Gail's cousins. He works as a bouncer at MoDean's and is beloved by the Hicks.
- Seth (Seth Gagnon) is a friend of the hicks who occasionally gives them rides. He does not speak and has not been seen outside of his truck.[3]
The Hockey Players
Reilly
Reilly (Dylan Playfair) is a hockey player for the Letterkenny Irish and Jonesy's best friend. He is one of Katy's on-again-off-again boyfriends. As such Wayne and Daryl often send incisive taunts his way. In later seasons the hicks come around to accept him and Jonesy grudgingly, at least when it comes to confrontations with other factions.
Jonesy
Jonesy (Andrew Herr) is a hockey player for the Letterkenny Irish and Reilly's best friend. He is one of Katy's sometime boyfriends. Like Reilly, he is frequently on the receiving end of Wayne and Daryl's withering chirps. Over time, the confrontational nature of his relationship with the hicks softens slightly, to the end that they will fight on the same side against a common adversary.
Coach
Coach (Mark Forward) is the unnamed Letterkenny hockey teams' coach with anger management issues. He moves up through the local teams along with Reilly and Jonesy, often to their dismay. He is a widower, and his late spouse was named Barbara.
Joint Boy
Joint Boy (Joël Roger Gagné) is a gym rat who later becomes an ally to both the hockey players and the hicks. He first challenges Wayne's title as the toughest guy in Letterkenny, but they quickly become friends. He is later recruited by Reilly and Jonesy as an enforcer for the Letterkenny Irish. His nickname, "Joint Boy," comes from how frequently he smokes joints.
Tyson
Tyson (Jason Bertin) is another gym rat who later becomes an ally to both the hockey players and the hicks. He too challenges Wayne's title as the toughest guy in Letterkenny but fights dirty. After Wayne defeats him twice, they grow to become friends. He is later recruited with Joint Boy as an enforcer for the Letterkenny Irish.
Shoresy
Shoresy (Jared Keeso) is a foul-mouthed hockey player with a high-pitched voice. Shoresy frequently insults Reilly and Jonesy, often alluding to his alleged sexual involvement with their mothers. He has played for the Letterkenny Shamrocks and the Irish, and he has served as a linesman. Shoresy is shown to be an extremely talented hockey player, often recruited by Coach when the team is in a tough spot. Keeso voices the character. His face is never seen clearly.
Barts, Yorkie, Sholtzy, Fisky, and Boomtown
Barts (Alex Spencer), Yorkie (Stephen Huszar), Sholtzy (Andrew Hinkson), Fisky (Jordan Johnson-Hinds), and Boomtown (Boomer Phillips) are five hockey players on the Letterkenny Irish senior team. They're known to speak in sequence, calling on the next one by name. Barts often completes sentences with "you little bitch," punctuated with Sholtzy adding "pussy." They first respond antagonistically to Reilly and Jonesy, but later the five grow to respect them after they start taking the game more seriously. Initially they are all happily married, but their wives later leave them after Angie starts sleeping with all of them. The club is dissolved in season 4.
Betty-Anne and Mary-Anne
Betty-Anne (Kelly McCormack) and Mary-Anne (Jess Salgueiro) are two hockey players on the Letterkenny Shamrockettes. They are both very combative and initially reject Reilly and Jonesy's coaching attempts. They enter conflict over their shared romantic interest in Shoresy, but they later appear to settle into a polyamorous relationship with him.
The Skids
Stewart
Stewart (Tyler Johnston) is the dramatic leader of the skids with a passion for retro video games and hip hop music. He is technically minded, has demonstrated his coding ability, and is considered an expert on methamphetamine production. He regularly dances with the rest of the skids in public, and he has performed as a disc jockey on several occasions. He is in love with Katy, much to the dismay of the other skids.
Devon
Devon (Alexander De Jordy) is Stewart's right-hand man in the skids. When Stewart gets into a romantic relationship with Katy, Devon briefly takes over at the skids' leader, but Stewart wins the position back. Devon disappears without explanation before season 3.
Roald
Roald (Evan Stern) is a deeply insecure and openly gay member of the skids. After Devon's departure, Roald takes his place as Stewart's best friend, and second-in-command.
Gae
Gae (Sarah Gadon) is a later member of the skids, joining shortly after Devon's departure. She inspires the skids to perform acts of vandalism dressed as clowns, inspired by the 2016 clown sightings. She acts out in an attempt to be returned home, which succeeds by the end of season 3. With her season 5 return, she aims to help Stewart sober up, and by season 6 their relationship turns romantic.
Others
- Darien (Danny VanZandwyck) and Connor (Patrick McNeil) are two silent members of the skids who are usually around when they hang out.
- Hard Right Jay (Jay Baruchel) is an alt-right activist who later meets Stewart through the dark web. He travels to Letterkenny in an attempt to start a group that holds his ideals.
The Natives
Tanis
Tanis (Tiio Horn) is the leader of the Native reservation's cigarette business. She has an on-off relationship with Wayne, and she was at one point impregnated by him before she had an abortion.
Shyla
Shyla (Cara Gee) is a resident of the Native reservation and a rival to Tanis. She and Shania start to recruit people to work with them using sex, but Tanis wins them back with her superior cooking.
Shania
Shania (Jade Willoughby) is a resident of the Native reservation and Shyla's best friend.
Others
- Axe (Bradley Trudeau) and Slash (Dylan Cook) are Natives from the Reservation and Tanis' enforcers.
Unaffiliated
Glen
Glen (Jacob Tierney) is a homosexual pastor infatuated with Wayne. He often takes up other odd jobs, including working at restaurants, at ice cream stores, and at MoDean's as a bartender.
Anik
Anik (Kim Cloutier) is a member of the Québécois faction of hicks (French: ploucs) whom the Letterkenny group meet while ice fishing. She later becomes romantically involved with Daryl, leaving her fiancé for him. Towards the end of Season 6, she leaves Daryl as he is far too clingy. She returns to her fiancé.
Marie-Frédérique
Marie-Frédérique (Magalie Lépine-Blondeau) is a Québécoise woman with whom Wayne begins a romantic relationship in season 6. She is frequently called "Marie-Fred" for convenience, and she has a similar personality to Wayne. In the cliffhanger ending to Season 7, she was caught cheating on Wayne with an unnamed Quebec man.
Ron and Dax
Ron (James Daly) and Dax (Gregory Waters) are gym rats who serve as homosexual counterparts to Jonesy and Reilly. Initially they frequently catcall the two[3], but later they befriend them, being nicknamed "Ronsy" and "Daxy." They seemingly befriend several other Letterkenny residents as well, as in season five, they marry in a ceremony attended by several members of all of Letterkenny's social groups.[4] They later explain to Reilly and Jonesy that it is an open marriage of convenience done for tax purposes.[5]
