She became True's assistant in the first episode after True fired the previous one, Cricket. It turns out she is a good stock investor buying 1 company which was then merged to another company and the stock prices tripled, and investing in a company called "Bickle Nickle" which went up 30 stock points 1 day later. Her secret is that she thinks that other people think she is dumb around the office. It is hinted several times she crushes on Ryan and vice versa. One of her catch phrases is, "Not even!"

Ryan James Laserbeam[]

Ryan Laserbeam (Matt Shively) is another one of True's best friends. Ryan and True became friends when Ryan put gum in True's hair and True got revenge by telling him that every time he blinked, a bird died. He held his eyes open for 40 minutes and then passes out.

He also mentions he has keys to most of the offices. Ryan seems to have a crush on Amanda. It is hinted several times he crushes on Lulu and vice versa. His secret was that he broke Mr. Madigan's horse statue. If he has his eyes closed for more than five seconds, he falls asleep. He has somewhat of an obsession with video games, but has also been beaten by True's dog Hercules. His catch phrase is "Oh, come on!!" And so yep

Amanda Cantwell[]

Amanda Cantwell (Danielle Bisutti) is another VP for Women's Wear. Amanda is considered the most complex character of the series. She is constantly trying to get True fired, and sometimes picks on her. Amanda wants to turn True's office into a gym or closet. Once in a blue moon, however, True and Amanda may work together on things, with Amanda even giving True advice. Amanda seems to be a complete "suck up" to their boss MR. Madigan, and is the only person in Mad Style who calls him Max. She is allergic to hazelnut. Usually because of her plans of getting True fired backfire, many unfortunate things happen to her, such as her dress falling off while she is modeling it, and having to feed True and her friends ice cream in a chicken suit. In True Matchmaker, it is revealed that she (as well as Oscar) is addicted to a soap opera called Space Plantation. In the episode when Max turned the building in a jungle retreat it is revealed that her secret was that she broke Max Madigan's horse statue. She usually snorts like a pig when she is laughing.


Recurring characters[]

Max Madigan[]

He marries his girlfriend, Doris, at the end of season 1.
