Chilly Beach - Characters

Characters

Main characters:

  • Dale MacDonald is a stupid and fat stereotypical Canadian. He has a crush on April June, who detests Dale, and has a best friend, Frank Shackleford, whose genius would go more appreciated if Dale didn't accidentally destroy most of his brilliant inventions with a stray puck. He owns a Zamboni and considers ice resurfacing a skilled trade. Devoted fan of hockey, especially his favourite team the Montreal Tourtières, in direct opposition to Frank's support of the Toronto Ptarmigans.
  • Frank Shackleford is a beer store manager and Dale's best friend. Also a modest scientific genius; he once created a portal to another galaxy. He holds a PhD in physics, but chooses to run a beer store because "physicists don't get two-fours on weekends".
  • Jacques LaRock is an unhygenic greasy spoon owner and former hockey player from Quebec who serves a poutine made from a recipe passed down from his mother.
  • April June is a waitress and ferocious animal rights activist. Dale is constantly trying to get her to date him, but she resolutely remains uninterested.
  • Angus MacAuger is an eccentric and hermetic Scottish trapper
  • Katherine Hilderbrand is the disgruntled (and highly patriotic) Assistant Deputy American Ambassador to Canada
  • Abby is Katherine's inquisitive and intelligent daughter. She is an aspiring anthropologist constantly trying to understand Canadian culture.
  • Constable Al is an Indo-Canadian mountie, the only form of law enforcement in Chilly Beach usually found riding his police horse (upper right).
  • Michel Mabuis is the nephew of Jacques LaRock, a friend of Abby who enjoys figure skating, a fact he has to hide from his hockey-obsessed uncle who considers figure skating weak.
  • Polar Bear a large animal who frequently eats citizens of Chilly Beach, somehow has with a pleasant British accent, and lives with a taciturn penguin
The characters Abby and Michel were deemed unpopular after season one, and largely disappeared from the show in subsequent seasons.

Minor characters:

  • Antoine DelVecchio is Chilly Beach's corrupt and incompetent Member of Parliament, voiced by Joe Flaherty.
  • Lucretia Marinara is the local butcher and girlfriend of Jacques LaRock, voiced by Andrea Martin.
  • Panic Man is a completely unnamed character who shows up regularly only to panic at whatever is happening and run off.
  • The President is an unnamed President of the United States, voiced in one episode by William Shatner. At one point he tells the President of Generistan to call him "Henry".
  • Dave Macdonald is Dale's perfect and well-loved older brother who appears in only one episode. He is the total opposite of Dale. He came to Chilly Beach hoping Dale would give him a kidney in order to live. However is turns out their blood types are incompatible, so one of them was actually adopted. He got his new kidney thanks to Frank, who was tied up and gagged by Dale. Apparently, he's from Saskatoon.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    The more gifted and talkative one’s characters are, the greater the chances of their resembling the author in tone or tint of mind.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    The naturalistic literature of this country has reached such a state that no family of characters is considered true to life which does not include at least two hypochondriacs, one sadist, and one old man who spills food down the front of his vest.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
