Amy Davidson
Rebekka - the orthodox jewish girl who wants what she can't have

Dean Edwards
Ty - the underground hip hop genius

Cris Judd
Elliot - the klezmer club kid
Sure, Cris Judd was one of People Magazine's '25 Hottest Bachelors' and InTouch Magazine's "20 Hottest Hunks,", but in GoyBand, he plays an orthodox Jewish man who teaches Bobby Starr to dance with a little Jewish klezmer flavor.

Joel Leffert
Grand Rabbi Sheinmann - the Kaballah-empowered 'Grand Master Flash' Rabbi.

Glenn Wein
Issac - the Kabbalah acolyte who is looking for something more
Glenn is well known as a great co-creator/director/star of very funny 'Grandma Sylvia's Funeral', but, he made us LOL at his hysterical portrayal of Issac - a frustrated scholar that tries his best to secure a little something on the side.

Larry Goldstein
Raziel - The biggest, meanest, toughest Pais-wearing bodyguard on the planet.
Larry is known as the Jewish Giant...and at 6'6'' and counting, that's a pretty accurate nickname.
You may have seen Larry on 'Late Night with Conan O'Brian', or early mornings on 'Sesame Street'...either way, you will definitely see him butt heads with Bobby Starr in Goyband!

Benjamin Bauman
Haim Sheinmann - the son of the Rabbi that wants power over everything.
All we did was add 'pais' and Ben was the most perfect-looking Rabbi's son we could envision. As Haim, he is looking for 'emet' and finds it in the most unlikely of places.
