Character reads:
Harry Strange - Title Character (15 episodes)
Male, 30s, no discernible accent
Line #1:
Magic and magical people--the 'unnatural order' is all around us. There are white witches, black witches, demons, vamps, werewolves, shape shifters, ghosts; it's a protoplasmic party of creature features out there. But unless you know where to look, you won't find them. I know where to look. My name is Harry Strange.
Line #2
Maybe. Now you lay back and I am going to put my fingers on the sides of your head. Just relax. Think of a calm place; a place that's safe and warm. Imagine yourself getting lighter--your legs feel like they are filled with air; your arms want to float towards the ceiling--now your legs...(VOICE OVER WITH EFFECTS FILTER) The room melted away from me and, at first, there was nothing but whiteness. Distance was impossible to judge.
Line #3
Demons always go on and on about their lineage like they are some type of British Royalty; which, they may well be.
Lilith - Demon (4 episodes)
Female, Immortal; should be seductive
Line #1
Did you really think you could hide them there? Was that really your best choice?
Line #2
I am Lilith, first woman of the Bible, Mother of the Nephilim, Goddess of the Succubi.
Line #3
That's just one of the benefits of being a demon. Well that along with small hips, and an ass and tits to die for.
White Lady (1 episode)
Female, Evil incarnate; raspy, deep voice
Line #1
You're going to send me to hell with a little motorized trinket? Tell you what, give me the favorite and I'll let you go.
Line #2
Harry Strange? The Favorite--her Champion? Well, this is a treat. And what if I don't put her down? Will you step out of your little circle and fight me one on one?
Episode 4
Trudy (1 Episode)
Female, Late 20s--Justin’s mom
Line #1
Tasha said you were more than a private eye. More like--a champion. She said you would be able to make the connections to solve my problem, or at least get it under control. Tasha spoke highly of you. She also said not to be captivated by your grey eyes and broad shoulders.
Line #2
Ready for what? This doesn't make any sense. How can someone from a dream do this kind of damage? It's not like you can pull things from the dream world into the real world.
NURSE HELEN (1 episode)
Female, 50’s
Line #1
Now we find out if the stories about the infamous Harry Strange are true. No magic, just good ole American pharmaceuticals. Say good-night Harry.
TASHA (1 Episode)
Female, 30s, psychic, Romanian (sort of like Kate Beckinsale in Van Helsing)
Line #1
Still killing sentient beings so you can dine on their flesh I see.
Line #2
Harry! Gods I hate it when you do that internal dialog thing. Your theory?
