The Amazing Chan and The Chan Clan - Cast of Characters

Cast of Characters

• Mr. Charlie ("The Amazing") Chan: Famous detective and widowed or divorced father of three. Dressed in a blue suit, tie and fedora hat. Often finds whatever case-solving clues his children may have overlooked.

• Henry Chan: The eldest of Charlie's ten offspring. A relatively mature hunk, and a natural leader for his siblings in their dad's absence. Wearing an orange turtleneck shirt, he's the drummer for the Chan kids' band. When the kids split up he always goes with Stanley.

• Stanley Chan: The second eldest Chan offspring and Henry's impulsive comedy relief. More often than any of the others, he delivers the show's tagline: "Wham-Bam; somebody's (usually in reference to their father's clientele, though on a couple of occations they've used it on themselves) in a Jam!" Wearing a green shirt, he's a guitarist for his siblings' band. When the kids break into groups he always goes with Henry.

• Suzie Chan: Charlie's eldest daughter, this sweet and pretty teen is basically a variation on Daphne Blake. She likes to knit and has chronically sore feet. Wearing a turquoise dress, she plays the tambourine for the Chan siblings' band. When the children are in separate units she's usually seen with Alan, Anne, and Tom, but on occasion she's seen with Flip. At one point the middle kids paired off, and she went with Alan.

• Alan Chan: An inventor/engineer who builds and supplies whatever crime-stopping gadgetry his siblings might need (which their father, on the other hand, rarely needs)...particularly the Chan Van. He wears sunglasses, a purple vest and a pink shirt. He's also part of the horn section (usually playing an oboe, to be precise) for the Chan kids' band. In the first episode he was seen on the drums. When the kids separate into segments, he's usually seen with Suzie, Anne, and Tom, but at one point he joined Nancy and several times he's been seen with Flip. Once when the middle kids paired off he went with Suzie.

• Anne Chan: A feminist tomboy, she wears an orange-on-white t-shirt with a matching baseball cap. She alternates between guitar and percussion for the kids' band. As far as grouping is concerned, she's usually seen with Suzie, Alan, and Tom, though once she and Tom went off alone. They also went together when the middle kids paired off.

• Tom Chan: He's the most intellectual of the Chan children. He sometimes talks in scientific terms. He wears black-framed eyeglasses and a brown vest with a white shirt. Trombonist for the Chan kids' band. Is usually seen with Suzie, Alan, and Anne, but at one point went off alone with Anne. When the middle kids paired off, he also went with Anne.

• Flip Chan: A natural leader to his younger siblings. He's also the most enthusiastic when it comes to helping their dad solve cases. Usually called "Chief" by Scooter. Wears a light-green shortsleeve shirt and porkpie hat. He's usually seen with Nancy, Mimi, and Scooter, though on occasion is seen with his older siblings.

• Nancy Chan: A robust 9-year-old with a ponytail, and the most accident-prone of the Chan offspring. She's almost always seen with Flip, Mimi, and Scooter, though once committed a caper in the company of Alan and Tom.

• Mimi Chan: At 7, she's Charlie's youngest niece and second-youngest offspring. Despite her girly nature, she's prone to bossing Scooter around. Wears a yellow shirt. Usually seen with Flip, Nancy, and Scooter, occasionally she and Scooter go off on their own.

• Scooter Chan: At 6, he's the youngest and most boyish of the Chan children. Flip's "right arm", and fiercely proud of it. Wears a red shirt. He's usually seen with Flip, Nancy, and Mimi, but occasionally goes off alone with Mimi.

• Chu Chu: Chan children's pet dog that assists in solving cases and is an expert in making sound effects. Chu Chu can howl like a police car siren whenever the kids in the Chan Van need to get to places very fast. Is usually seen with the four youngest children.
