Trivia / The Once and Future Nerd

• Acting for Two: Most of the cast play more than one character, even if some of their secondary roles are just to voice minor one-shot characters. Several major and recurring characters share an actor. At the time of writing, the list of cast members who play double roles looks like this:
  • Paul Notice plays both Nelson and Antonin Mooncrest.
  • Rhiannon Angell plays Yllodyk, and was also the actor who played Nia for the longest time, taking over the role from Emily Kuckuck before handing it over to Regina Renee Russell.
  • Anya Gibian plays Regan and Arlene.
  • Dan Dobransky plays Traft, Ardel and Gunther.
  • Ana O'Daniel plays Gwen and Ry’y lo-Th’yyt.
• The Other Darrin: Quite a few characters have been recast over the course of the series, some of them more than once. The character who's been recast the most is Gwen, who has been played by four separate actors (three of whom have also doubled as Ry'y lo-Th'yyt).
