"Drawn Together" Cast

Comedy Central
Premise: "Drawn Together" presents a world where cartoon characters from various genres of animation are brought together to live under one roof. The characters leave their animated "reality" and enter a new world where their cartoon universes collide with a bang, combining different styles of animation and different personalities all "drawn together."
Characters: Captain Hero, not-so-moral hero reminiscent of the 70's Saturday morning TV.
Clara, a 20-year-old sweet and naive fairy-tale princess.
Toot Braunstein, a black and white pudgy heart throb from the 20's.
Foxxy Love, a sexy mystery-solving musician.
Spanky Ham, a foul-mouthed internet download pig.
Ling-Ling, an adorable Asian trading card mini-monster.
Wooldoor-Sockbat, a wacky Saturday morning "whatchamacallit."
Xandir, a strong young adventurer, similar to video game warriors.
Animation: This is Comedy Central's first original animated series that is drawn traditionally and in 2-D digital ink and paint animation.
Creators and More: The characters, all with different lifestyles and personalities, create alliances with some of their housemates, but often the fighting and backstabbing take center stage. This skewers the world of animation, and also parodies many clichis of reality television.

Also, whenever the moment calls for a musical number, the characters are prone to break into song. The songs too are spoofs from various genres of animation (the emotional love song ballad, the girl-group rock band, group sing-a-long), but with original lyrics.

Credits for "Drawn Together" include Matt Silverstein and Dave Jeser as creators, writers and executive producers. The series is based on characters developed by Silverstein, Jeser and Jordan Young ("The Simpsons.") Zoe Friedman is the executive in charge of production for Comedy Central.

Silverstein and Jeser previously served as writers on Comedy Central's "The Man Show" as well as Fox's "Action" and "Andy Richter Controls the Universe."
