THE CAST
Meet the souls who bring Brilliant Corners to life. Each character carries their own rhythm, their own story, their own struggle in the symphony of 1950s America.

Crow
A 15-year-old homeless tap dancer and busker whose rhythmic performances captivate the townspeople. Despite his youthful appearance, Crow witnesses and knows more than he lets on, harboring secrets that unravel throughout the series.
The streets have their own rhythm, and I've learned to dance to it.

Mavis
A 45-year-old pragmatic yet compassionate woman, Mavis is grappling with the recent loss of her father while striving to maintain the bar's legacy and its role as a haven for the community.
This bar is more than just wood and whiskey - it's a sanctuary for lost souls.

Lady
A glamorous but world-weary 43-year-old black dancer battling alcoholism and drug addiction. Her performances at the bar are both transformative and destructive. Lady is a single mother to her 10-year-old autistic son, Andrew.
Every night I dance between heaven and hell, and sometimes I forget which is which.

Tommy
A 43-year-old charming, yet narcissistic and manipulative black police officer. Although Mavis trusts him and considers him an ally due to their shared history, Tommy hides dark intentions.
Trust is a currency in this town, and I'm the richest man around.

Charlie
A 40-year-old Black man, Charlie is a quiet, large figure who isn't boisterous except when he plays the drums. He is always the first member of the resident band to arrive and tune his drums.
The rhythm speaks what words can't say.

Stewart
A 30-something white Jewish man from an affluent background, Stewart is the son of a prominent music producer. He harbors a deep love for jazz music and has a kind-hearted, witty nature.
Music doesn't see color, it feels soul.
The Kids

A group of black 6- to 12-year-olds, the town's latchkey crew, often joined by Crow and Andrew. They roam the streets while their parents work or drink at Brilliant Corners, causing harmless mischief—bottle rockets, running along train tracks, stolen gum—and witnessing things no child their age should ever see.
