Tru Davies is the show's main character, portrayed by Eliza Dushku.

Davis is Tru's supervisor, friend, and confidante at the Morgue. Davis is portrayed by actor Zach Galifianakis. Years ago, Tru's mother tried to warn him of the car accident that was about to happen. He didn't heed the warning, but Tru's mother flattened his car's tires, thus saving his life, but unable to save his spouse. Spending years living in regret and guilt, now acts as a mentor to Tru. He is a fan of Dungeons & Dragons and has been in a relationship with Dr. Carrie Allen who, unbeknownst to Davis, is a mole working for Jack Harper. In season 1, we find out that Davis is his middle name, although we are not told what his first or last name is.

Harrison Davies is Tru's younger brother. He and Lindsay were formerly together, however, she broke it off, and married an old friend. Harrison is played by actor Shawn Reaves. In the season 1 finale "Two Weddings and a Funeral", Harrison is shot and killed by the jealous ex-husband of a woman he had just met. His corpse asks Tru for help, but Jack warns her that saving him will cause someone else to have to die to take his place. At the end of the episode, Jack's manipulations cause Luc to get shot instead of Harrison. In season two he works for his father's law firm. His father implies he has plans for him, but as the show was canceled this was never resolved.

Jack Harper, a counterpart to Tru's character, is introduced mid-first season as a foil and possible love interest. He is there to make sure fate got its way, and introduces a philosophical aspect to Tru's endeavors: should she be saving the lives of people who may have been intended to die? Years before his appearance, he works as a paramedic. While trying to save a kid during a neighborhood shootout, he was shot on the back and was physically dead for minutes until being revived by his co-worker. At some point after the event, Jack finds himself reliving days (presumably begins on the same day as Tru) and admits himself to a psych ward believing that he's become insane after a near-death experience until being approached by Tru's father, Richard. In season one, after Tru prevents the death of her brother, Jack sends Tru's boyfriend Luc to die in his place, and he does. In the second season, Tru and Jack compete to get to a person first — she to save them, and he to restore the order of fate, and maintain what he believes to be the balance of the universe. Sometimes Tru wins, sometimes Jack does. However, when someone asks Jack for help instead of Tru, a girl named Megan, he is unsure of whether he is supposed to make sure she dies, or make sure she lives. He finds out she has a disease and will die regardless, and she only wants to have one final good day before she kills herself so her sister will get money through a foundation. Tru convinces her to postpone that plan, and try to have many more good days first. She decides to do that, and she and Jack go to the place where she died before, a tower from which she had jumped, but this time only so she can look off into the sunset. Jack makes sure she falls off the tower, but he grabs her hand, and she begs for him to save her. In the end, he lets her go, and she falls to her death. Tru arrives in time to only watch her fall and she tells Jack, "I wish that were you" and Jack walks away saying, "That makes two of us." He appeared in the last 7 episodes of the first season, and all of the second season. He works for Tru's father, Richard Davies. Jack is played by actor Jason Priestley.

Lindsay Walker is Tru's best friend in season one. Lindsay and Harrison used to be together, but Lindsay broke it off, and married an old friend. It is assumed that she moved to Europe with her husband after the season one finale, and therefore is not mentioned again. She is played by A. J. Cook. Lindsay appeared in episodes 1-20 (all of season one).

Luc Johnston was Tru's first season love interest, who worked as a photographer. Luc was played by Matthew Bomer. He was a series regular from episodes 6-20 in season one. Luc broke things off with Tru over her constant disappearances and strange behavior. In the season 1 finale, Tru rewinds the day to save her brother from being shot by a woman's jealous ex-husband. Luc returns to give her a second chance, but storms off confused and angry when she tries to tell him the truth about her powers. Jack claims that the woman can prove Tru's story, and manipulates Luc into going to her house carrying flowers, causing her ex to shoot him instead of Harrison. He does not ask for help and is buried.

Meredith Davies is Tru's sister. She has a drug problem and is in rehab. She is never seen after season one. Meredith is played by Jessica Collins, and was a series regular from episodes 1-13 of season one.

Gardez formerly worked at the morgue and is played by Benjamin Benitez. Gardez was a regular on Tru Calling from episodes 4-13 of Tru Calling season one.

Richard Davies is the father of Tru, Harrison, and Meredith. He formerly had the same 'gift' that Jack Harper now has, and had their mother killed because of it by hiring Carl Neesan (Wade Andrew Williams) as the hitman. Jack Harper works for him, and they both share the same ideology. Richard is played by Cotter Smith. He is credited as Special Guest Star in the second season.

Dr. Carrie Allen is Davis's love interest for the second season, and unknown to Davis, works as a mole for Jack. On the final episode, it is hinted that she knew of Tru's secrets. She is played by Liz Vassey. She is credited as Special Guest star as well. Had the series continued the character would have developed real feelings for Davis as is hinted in 'Twas the Night Before Christmas...Again'. However he would discover that she had killed her violent and abusive husband and it would then be his dilemma whether to turn her in or not.

Jensen Ritchie is Tru's second season love interest. In Enough, he is shot and killed, and does not ask for help. Tru then manages to find someone else who asks for help and Tru saves Jensen from this fate on her rewind day. However, Tru is just beginning to learn of the consequences of saving someone who does not ask for help. According to online remarks made by the writers if the second season had continued Jensen would eventually have become so fascinated with mortality as a result of his near death experience that he becomes a serial killer. Eventually Tru has to ask Jack for his help in killing him, letting him die as he was supposed to. Jensen is played by Eric Christian Olsen. He is also credited as Special Guest Star in season two.

Jensen Ackles was the producer's first choice to play Tru's love interest on the second season. He turned down the role, which was then offered to another actor. The character's name was changed to 'Jensen' because the producers liked Ackles' name.

Avery Bishop is one of Tru's medical school friends. She reveals that she and Jensen used to date, but now they are really close friends and simply look out for each other. She is the first to discover Jensen's fiance is a fake. She is played by Lizzy Caplan.

Tyler Li is another one of Tru's medical school friends. He is played by Parry Shen.
