Voice Actors and Their Characters
- Tara Strong (originally Ashley Johnson) - Mina Harper: A seven-year-old human child with red long hair in a ponytail and red clothes. She likes to go to school and to play with her toys, and she doesn't get along with her sister Lucy. She meets the Count one night and they become best friends. At school, Nick is the school bully and picks on her. The squeamish Martha is probably her only human friend. Mina knows how to cook, but unfortunately for the Count, doesn't know that vampires find garlic hazardous. Mina's mother is also inexplicably never seen or mentioned in any of the episodes.
- Jeff Bennett - Igor: Count's Quasimodo-like servant who wears sandals and green clothes and always has a maniacal laugh. He loathes Mina because she turned his master into a loving man, though he still tries to do what is best for his master. He hates kisses, hugs, love and everything near to it. In his free time, he likes to watch television.
- Mark Hamill - Vlad the Count: A 700 year old immortal vampire with light blue skin and a blue cape and a black suit. In his past, he probably made a living drinking young women's blood. Thanks to Mina Harper, he represses his evil tendencies. He has many powers, including the abilities to transform into a bat or mist, use telekinesis, and to hypnotize people and animals to do his bidding. He finds comics and toys amusing (again, thanks to Mina Harper) and is very intelligent. He believes that "mortal food" is disgusting.
- Michael Bell - Mr. Harper, Mina's father: He doesn't know that Count is a vampire. He initially believes he is a life-size doll with odd body odor. Later, he believes the Count is Mina's violin teacher and has him over for dinner. He is polite, but bemused by the Count's behavior and dismisses him as a "crazy European."

Famous quotes containing the words their characters, voice, actors and/or characters:
“The first glance at History convinces us that the actions of men proceed from their needs, their passions, their characters and talents; and impresses us with the belief that such needs, passions and interests are the sole spring of actions.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“What is this beast, she thought,
with muscles on his arms
like a bag of snakes?
What is this moss on his legs?
What prickly plant grows on his cheeks?
What is this voice as deep as a dog?”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“His leanings were strictly lyrical, descriptions of nature and emotions came to him with surprising facility, but on the other hand he had a lot of trouble with routine items, such as, for instance, the opening and closing of doors, or shaking hands when there were numerous characters in a room, and one person or two persons saluted many people.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
