'Reaper' - Main Cast

By Mark Wilson, About.com

Here's some background on the cast and characters of Reaper.

Bret Harrison as Sam Oliver

Eric Odgen/The CW
Bret Harrison stars as Sam Oliver, a young slacker forced to become the Devil's bounty hunter. On his 18th birthday, Sam learned that his parents had been tricked into selling his soul to the Devil. Sam has never had anything to motivate himself before; he tried college, but it didn't engage him, and his job at the Workbench has never been a challenge -- so his new job working for the Devil, hunting down demons, has launched a new period in his life.

Ray Wise as The Devil

Eric Odgen/The CW
Acclaimed actor Ray Wise stars as the Devil himself. The Devil is smarmy, cynical, prone to exhibiting a strange sense of humor; but about reclaiming souls escaped from Hell, he's deadly serious. At times he acts like a beleaguered bureaucrat, frustrated with the incompetence of his infernal civil service, but occasionally he reveals his capacity for evil and the ruthlessness with which he responds to being crossed. He seems to want to talk to Sam and spend time with him, which the other denizens of Hell find peculiar and troubling.

Tyler Labine as Bert "Sock" Wysocki

Eric Odgen/The CW
Tyler Labine plays "Sock," the quintessential slacker who enthusiastically aids his best friend Sam in the hunt for escaped souls from Hell. Unlike Sam, Sock never aspired to anything more than good friends, an easy job, and enough money for beer and pizza, so he figures he's got it made. Helping Sam hunt down demons is mainly a new way for him to add something wild and exciting to his life, while helping his best friend deal with the unexpected problem of having to work for the Devil.

Rick Gonzalez as Ben

Eric Odgen/The CW
Rick Gonzalez stars as Ben, the son of a reverend, who aids his friend Sam in his quest to capture escaped souls from Hell. Ben works alongside Sam and Sock at the Workbench, and stands loyally by his friends in their demon-hunting even though he's often the one that gets caught in the crossfire.

Missy Peregrym as Andi Prendergast

Eric Odgen/The CW
Missy Peregrym stars as Andi, a young girl who returns home from college after her father's death and finds safety in her old ways. Andi thought she's escaped from the low-ambition life of her old friend Sam, but college was not a positive experience and she ended up returning home while she figured out what to do. She and Sam have feelings for each other, but a number of things stood in the way -- including Sam's new demon-catching job and the doomed condition of his soul, which Andi only discovered accidentally after Sam had spent several months trying to keep it secret from her.
