Cast and characters

Main characters

  • Seamus (Sterling Beaumon
    Sterling Beaumon
    Sterling Martin Beaumon, born June 2, 1995, is an American teen actor and singer. He is best known for his lead roles as Max Doyle in the 2008 film Mostly Ghostly: Who Let the Ghosts Out? and as young Benjamin Linus in the ABC television series, Lost...

    ), Rebel without a pause, and attitude to spare. Seamus has been kicked out of three schools, and he definitely doesn't go to Lakeside Prep with the rest of the Clue crew. He's got mad skateboard skills and gets everywhere on his deck, but free time is tight because he works as a busboy at a hotel after school. Rumor has it Seamus runs with the Gr$$n Scene super cool and exclusive street art crew. The character of Seamus is loosely based on the character of Mr. Green from the original board game.

  • Whitney (Sarah Desjardins), Whitney's working overtime to save the world. Petitions, fundraisers, marches, door-to-door outreach -- she does them all. Whitney’s never met a good cause she didn’t want to support, and is currently volunteering for "White Lights for a Better Future." But does all that signature-gathering and clipboard-waving leave time for a personal life? The character of Whitney is loosely based on the character of Mrs. White from the original board game.

  • Agnes (Kendall Amyre Ferguson), Agnes is all about what's going on where, with whom, and why. She reads all the blogs and magazines, so no news gets by her. (The Eyes of the Peacock is her fave site.) This style-obsessed search engine diva finds major dirt on people when she's barely trying. It's amazing what folks leave lying around on the Internet. But not Agnes: She likes finding news, not making it. The character of Agnes is loosely based on the character of Mrs. Peacock from the original board game.

  • Liz (Ana Golja), Hottie with a heart of gold. She lives life with the volume cranked -- always on the move, changing plans, and somehow finding herself in the spotlight wherever she goes. But she's not totally into herself ... she's got a really good soul to match that killer smile. Adopted at birth, she retains a 'House of Scarlet' necklace from her birth parents. The character of Liz is loosely based on the character of Miss Scarlett from the original board game.

  • Dmitri (Stephan James), Dmitri is varsity everything, and on Lakeside's Dean's List too. His dad's a major mogul, so Dmitri's whole future is mapped out. That's a lot of pressure. So how does he blow off steam? He's into a multi-player strategy game called "M.U.S.T.A.R.D. MISSIONS" -- and he’s the only one on his server at the "Colonel" level. The character of Dmitri is loosely based on the character of Colonel Mustard from the original board game.

  • Lucas (Zach Mills
    Zach Mills
    Zachary "Zach" Mills is an American teen actor.-Personal life:Zach was born in Lakewood, Ohio, to Kerry and Patrick.

    ), Lucas is a total brainiac, but he's no quiet nerd. His IQ's so high he's already a member of the Plum Institute. He can crack any puzzle or game, so you'd totally pick him to be your partner on a game show. Even so, he worries he's the kind of guy girls are only friends with. He'll be a huge success in a couple years, but right now, girls are one puzzle he just can't solve. The character of Lucas is loosely based on the character of Professor Plum from the original board game.
