Welcome To Graceland: Your Guide To Who's Who - Including The Big Liar And Two Fierce Femmes

Graceland - Season 1

The stars of Graceland introduce their characters....

Graceland - Season 1

Paul Briggs, FBI
(played by Daniel Sunjata)

BRIGGS IS MOST AWESOME AT: "Lying," Sunjata smiles.

BRIGGS' BIGGEST FLAW IS: "A secret, one that I cannot tell — though it will be revealed during the course of the season."

BRIGGS IS CLOSEST TO/HAS THE MOST FRICTION WITH: "I would say that he is closest to Charlie, played by Vanessa Ferlito. Briggs doesn't have a lot of friction with the members of the house; he loves them. But you know what, it's Charlie again. He's very close to her and he has the most friction with her."

Graceland - Season 1

Mike Warren, FBI
(played by Aaron Tveit)

MIKE IS MOST AWESOME AT: "Shooting guns!"

MIKE'S BIGGEST FLAW IS: "He cant let things go," says Tveit. "He's like a dog with a bone, almost to a fault. When he sets his mind on something, he has such tunnel vision."

MIKE IS CLOSEST TO/HAS THE MOST FRICTION WITH: "It's interesting, I'm both closest to and have friction with the same person — Daniel's character, Paul Briggs. Briggs is this brilliant agent and Mike is a brilliant on paper, coming out of the academy, so there's a mutual respect for how good they are at what they do, almost a shared experience in the knowledge that they have and where it comes from." (As for the source of friction: Stay tuned!)

Graceland - Season 1

Catherine 'Charlie' DeMarco, FBI
(played by Vanessa Ferlito)

CHARLIE IS MOST AWESOME AT: "Holding the house down," says Ferlito. "She's the 'big momma.'"

CHARLIE'S BIGGEST FLAW IS: "I don't know if this is a flaw –some might think of it as one – but she gets obsessive. She doesn't let anything go, and that sometimes can cause a little trouble. It's like an 'If you look for it, you're gonna find it' thing."

CHARLIE IS CLOSEST TO: "She and Briggs have a history. They're best friends, and he's the 'dad' of the house the way she's the 'mom .' But she also has a special connection with Mike. She takes him under her wing while everyone else is not so quick to do so."

CHARLIE HAS THE MOST FRICTION WITH: "Eventually, eventually Briggs. He and I? Big problems. Big problems."

Graceland - Season 1

Dale Jakes, U.S. Customs
(played by Brandon Jay McLaren)

JAKES IS MOST AWESOME AT: "Being awesome!"

JAKES' BIGGEST FLAW IS: "He is overprotective of his stuff," says McLaren.


JAKES IS CLOSEST TO:
"He's not really close to anyone; he keeps to himself."

JAKE HAS THE MOST FRICTION WITH: "Johnny."

Graceland - Season 1

Paige Arkin, DEA
(played by Serinda Swan)

PAIGE IS MOST AWESOME AT: "She's got so many skills, but I would say humor – she's very good at making light of situations," Swan offers. "She's also 'the DEA dictionary,' knowing all there is to know about the DEA, and she has a way of using that with humor. So if her superpower is anything, it would be humor. But how can I make that sound funnier? Apparently I don't have that trait!"

PAIGE'S BIGGEST FLAW IS: "She's pushy. She can be a little aggressive."

PAIGE IS CLOSEST TO/HAS THE MOST FRICTION WITH: "It might be the same person – Mike. She's the closest with him, for sure, and as things go along, you start to see there's also a bit of friction."

Graceland - Season 1

Johnny Tuturro, FBI
(played by Manny Montana)

JOHNNY IS MOST AWESOME AT: "Surfing, and keeping people together in the house."

JOHNNY'S BIGGEST FLAW IS: "He is naive enough to believe everyone is who they say they are," says Montana. "He's too trusting."

JOHNNY IS CLOSEST TO: "Briggs — he looks at him like a big brother."

JOHNNY HAS THE MOST FRICTION WITH: "Jakes, of course, because they're complete opposites. They bump heads like crazy, but at the end of the day they love each other."
