[edit] Cast and characters
- Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub)
- Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram) (2002–2004)
- Natalie Jane Davenport Teeger (Traylor Howard) (2004–present)
- Captain Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine)
- Lieutenant Randy Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford)
[edit] Recurring
- Dr. Charles Kroger (Stanley Kamel)
- Benjy Fleming (Kane Ritchotte during pilot episode and second and third seasons, Max Morrow during first season): Sharona's son. Often uses Adrian and his skills as a "toy."
- Julie Teeger (Emmy Clarke)
- Trudy Anne Ellison Monk (Stellina Rusich seasons 1-2, Melora Hardin seasons 3-4, Hannah Contrucci and Lindy Newton in flashbacks)
- Karen Stottlemeyer (Glenne Headly): Environmentally-conscious wife of Leland and mother of their two children. A documentary filmmaker whose artistic pursuits frequently belittle and sometimes frustrate her husband, she has often played a crucial role in her four episodes regarding a case. In "Mr. Monk and the Captain's Marriage", a fed-up Karen files for divorce, much to Leland's surprise and hurt.
- Harold J. Krenshaw (Tim Bagley): Another patient of Dr. Kroger's, Harold and Adrian Monk have an ongoing feud that begins the minute they see each other. (This can be seen most clearly in the episode "Mr. Monk and the Election", where Krenshaw defeats Natalie Teeger for a slot on the San Francisco 5th district school board.) Both are similar in phobias and mannerisms, their biggest differences being that Harold seems to prefer patterns, (such as a 1-2-3 pattern of magazines on a 3-tiered rack), while Monk requires them to be even, (a 2-2-2 pattern); and that Harold seems more able to function in everyday life - he has no mention of an assistant/nurse, and even wins a school board election. In the episode "Mr. Monk Gets a New Shrink", Harold may have one-upped Monk by taking a bullet for Dr. Kroger.
- Kevin Dorfman (Jarrad Paul): Monk's upstairs neighbor.
