Cast

 * as Lance Galahad, a young computer expert and the protagonist of the film. He has long red hair covered by a baseball cap and is an avid video game junkie. He also has a bit of a smart mouth.
 * as Carl Galahad, Lance's father. He's an assistant to Lance.
 * as Sam Galahad, Lance's grandfather. He's an assistant to Lance.
 * as Mike Galahad, Lance's older brother. He's an assistant to Lance.
 * as the voice of Dr. Nero Neurosis, a mad doctor, now a disembodied brain, whose villainous goal is to rule the world. He sends Fritz off to kill Lance at the beginning of the film, so that the reason is because of insulting him by calling him "average" (though he was planning to kill Lance from the beginning anyway simply to avoid paying for his repair job).
 * Joe Giampapa as the voice of Fritz, a hunchbacked little imp with hooks for hands who carries an array of his deadly gadgets that he uses to kill Lance. His apparent lack of brains doesn't prevent him from being a lethal adversary. Lance is pursued by him throughout the game. He is Dr. Neurosis' "pet" and diligently follows all orders given to him. Fritz doesn't speak in any languages at all, but only in grunts and gibberish.
 * as Vivi, a curvaceous, vampiric vixen with a Southern belle accent who runs a "funeral salon". It is generally an excuse for her to dismember or suck the blood of unwary or unwilling patrons, like Lance.
 * as the voice of Moose, a big, dumb, Frankenstein's Monster-like giant, who spouts various sports phrases and wields a baseball bat and a football.
 * and as the voices of Evil Left Iris and Evil Right Iris, two sister witches who, in their own separate room, try to have Lance "for dinner".
