Characters
Main Characters
- Osmosis "Ozzy" Jones (Phil LaMarr) - A white blood cell with a dark sense of humor. He works as a private-eye in the city of Hector. He also has a slight crush on Maria Amino, although she does not return the emotion. He and Drix were originally from the city of Frank, the character portrayed in the movie, although they were transferred to Hector through a freak accident, forcing Ozzy to build his reputation again from the ground up.
- Drixenol "Drix" (Jeff Bennett) - A cold pill and Ozzy's fellow private eye. They have an office inside Hector's left retina ("prime real estate"). His right arm is a multi-launcher which launches various chemical containers stored in his torso. The right arm also contains a phone, and other gadgets. Drix is very cautious and completely honest, which puts him at odds with the devil-may-care Ozzy. He often tries to "fit in" with the other cells in the body, usually failing to comprehend the concepts.
- Maria Amino (Tasia Valenza) - A white blood cell and a cop in the city of Hector. She has a crush on Drix and speaks with a Spanish accent. She is highly skilled at fighting and possibly the most competent cop inside of Hector.
- Mayor Paul Spryman (Alanna Ubach) - The mayor of the city of Hector. He is approximately the same age as Hector, and acts very immaturely. His decisions often put Hector's health in extreme danger.
- Ellen Patella (Vivica A. Fox) - An attorney-at-law who helps new cells find their place in Hector. Ozzy has a crush on her as well, although she has no interest in him.
- Chief Gluteus (Jim Cummings) - A muscle cell and the Chief of Police for the city of Hector. He hates both Ozzy and Drix and prefers to handle things himself, which often results in disasters.
- Hector Cruz (Justin Cowden) - The teenager that the show revolves around. He likes girls and listening to music. He is foolhardy, a risk taker, and somewhat ignorant, all probably to further the shows plot.
- The Mole (Jeffrey Tambor) - A former secret agent, and klutz. He resembles a cold war Soviet operative.
Germs, Viruses and Villains
This is a list of the bad guys in order of appearance:
- Scarlet Fever (Tim Curry) - A virus that makes Hector get a fever. Was transported along with Ozzy and Drix from Frank to Hector. Fever sucks up all of Hector's fluids that make him active and gives Hector a slow and fatal fever. Luckily, when he and Ozzy were fighting in a police helicopter, they were heading for Hector's spleen where it appeared to be a giant fan. Ozzy escaped the helicopter but Fever was killed once he and the helicopter were shredded into the spleen. Hector was then back to his normal self and his fluids returned.
- Ernest Strepfinger (Brad Garrett and Jim Cummings) - A powerful germ whose goal is to make Hector sick. He has a large gang of germs and viruses to do his dirty work. In "Strepfinger", Strepfinger is planning to make Hector have phlegm, but in the end, he falls down from his hideout along with his pet. In "Ozzy Jr.", Strepfinger returns, but this times he has an eye patch on his right eye and his pet has an eye patch, too. He plans to infect Hector with bacteria. In "Lights Out", he plans to wipe out Hector's memories. In "Tricky Ricardo", he tricks Ricardo into thinking that he is working for Strepfinger, but in the end, Strepfinger gets stuck on one of the cotton balls and fell down the drain of the shower.
- Protozilla (Frank Welker) - An allergen with a weak form and a monster form. He was a giant monster that terrorized the city of Hector and made it look like it was Drix's dog who was causing the disaster (meanwhile, outside of Hector, Hector himself had a dog and his mother believed the dog was causing his allergies). Ozzy, Drix and Drix's dog confronted Protozilla at Hector's nose and when Hector sneezed, Protozilla was sucked out and killed. And back with Hector, it was revealed his allergies are really from a certain flower his mother was bringing in and not the dog.
- Smirch (Danny Bonaduce) - A germ that plans to make Hector get a zit ("Street Up").
- Nick O' Teen (Tim Curry) - A tobacco addictive that plans to make Hector smoke ("Where There's Smoke"). He has three lackeys: Butane (Jeff Bennett), Carbon Monoxide (Tara Strong), and Tar (Frank Welker). Nick's lackeys were killed before him in confrontations with Ozzy and Drix but when Nick was finally powerful enough to hold Ozzy and Drix back from foiling his plans, Hector decided not to smoke anymore and Nick weakened where he became nothing but junk on Ozzy's shoe.
- Sal Monella (Henry Winkler) - A gangster germ who is planning to poison Hector.
- Sylvian Fisher (Brian Posehn): A nerdy brain cell who planned to use a growth formula to make Hector grow.
- General Malaise (Charlie Adler) - A bacterium who uses sugar to make his army of bacteria multiply. He develops evil plots to make Hector eat sugar. Of course, he and all his troops were killed when they were in Hector's teeth and he was visiting the dentist (a weird one) and they fell out through a sink and all died off.
- Professor Nightmare - A nightmare that originated from a movie Hector saw.
- Chief Maximus (Rob Paulsen) - The Chief of Police in the city of Christine (a girl that Hector likes) that teams up with the Pneumonic.
- The Pneumoniac (Pat Fraley) - A germ who is planning to give Christine pneumonia ("An Out of Body Experience parts 1 & 2").
- Mother Worm (Frank Welker) - A worm that came from a sausage Hector barely cooked.
- Shane (Danny Cooksey) - A leader of a testosterone gang that one time tied up Mayor Spryman and took over his office.
- Stickety (Rob Paulsen) - A sticky, bad cholesterol beatnik who kidnaps a fat cell child in an attempt to clog Hector's artery.
- Cryo (Susan Silo) - A virus that one time tried to give Hector hypothermia.
- Billy Bob Bile (Frank Welker) - An owner of an appendix hotel who was causing detours which resulted in Hector's appendix almost bursting
