Magazine columnist Andrew Carlson knows the etiquette column he writes is outdated and he is most likely the "last of his kind" but someone has to do it. David Hornsby is Carlson and is also the creator of the new series which is an adaptation of a non-fiction book by John Bridges titled How to Be a Gentleman. Hornsby, formerly from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, is the uptight magazine columnist who still believes in chivalry and opening doors for the ladies. His side kick is an exact opposite, making the two of them resemble Felix and Oscar from the Odd Couple. Kevin Dillon (Entourage) is Bert Lansing a veteran of the war in Iraq and brother to actor Matt Dillon, is a macho trainer who recently inherited a fitness center. He fits the Oscar Madison character to a T. Bert intends to down grade Andrew's gentlemanly habits and show him how to live his life more like a "bad boy".

Georgia Chamberlain knows she can act. In fact she is the most confident person around and considered to be one of those "larger than life" kinda people. Georgia Chamberlain is ably played by Raven-Symone (That's so Raven, Sunny With a Chance) who was actually born in Georgia. She has moved to New York to pursue her dreams which include becoming an actress. Her best friend Jo Pye is played by Majandra Delfino (Men of a Certain Age, Life As We Know It), who is more the science "geek" type. The two women are trying to make it in the "big city" and we've seen that story idea before but this time around the women seem tougher and even more determined to make it! Georgia's Aunt Honey (Loretta Devine from Grey's Anatomy, For Colored Girls) is somewhat of a nymphomaniac and loves to brag about her exploits to the young women and also doles out advice while listening to their problems. This is actually light hearted fun television in a family format.

The fact that some time travel is involved in the show, Being Erica, makes it necessary to employ at least one other actress to play the part of Erica Strange. She is sometimes seen as a twelve year old girl and that would be difficult for actress Erin Karpluk to accomplish. Erica is thirty two, Jewish, and still single. Although well educated she appears to be an underachiever who is in therapy and has been for years. Erica's therapist, Dr. Tom Wexlar (portrayed by Michael Riley) works with her though often irritating her with mixed quotations that don't really help her. Erica's friends include Julianne (played by Reagan Pasternak) editor at the publishing company where Erica is most currently employed. The two eventually form a publishing company as co-owners and partners. Forth grade teacher and best friend, Ethan Wakefield, (played by Tyron Leitso) have been close since college. When he moves next door to Erica they become more than just best friends, resulting in his divorce, and complicating the friendship. Gary Strange (John Boylan) is Erica's father, now a rabbi, but formerly a marijuana using hippie. Mom Barbara (Kathleen Laskey) who adds depth and a serious note to the program when she develops breast cancer.
