Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer)

"For the record, I still maintain that I basically turned myself in."

Neal is a con man, a forger, an artist, a thief, a charmer, a rogue, and a scoundrel. And he's very, very good at all of that.

Peter Burke (Tim DeKay)

"I wear a badge; he wears a tracking anklet."

Peter is an FBI agent in the white collar crimes unit. He's a straight arrow, and he's dedicated to his profession. He's as good at his job as Neal. He's dedicated to his wife, like many cops, but he actually manages to make it up to her when the job gets in the way.

Elizabeth Burke (Tiffani Thiessen)

"Or maybe you've been chasing him so long you don't know how to stop?"

Elizabeth is Peter's wife. Like the typical "cop's wife", she has to suffer her husband's dedication to his job: frequent absences and missing important occasions. Unlike the typical cop wife, she puts up with this with good grace.

  • Badass Damsel: As of the season three midseason premiere. She concocts a brilliant escape plan with nothing but a dog bite, thermostat, diamond ring, and some crazy chair swinging skills.
  • Happily Married: So much.
  • Hide Your Pregnancy: Season two.
  • Keep the Home Fires Burning
  • Odd Friendship: With Mozzie.
  • Official Couple: With her husband.
  • Took a Level In Badass: When kidnapped, she rescues herself. Not by resorting to typical seduction tricks, but by manipulating her guard (by telling him he'll start sweating if the dog bite he got was infected, then turning up the heat.) While he was out looking for bandages, she then figures out a way to throw a chair through shatterproof glass.
  • Understanding Wife: She, resignedly, accepts the problems of Peter's job. And Neal's lifestyle. And Mozzie's quirks. She's the living god of, "You're just plain okay."

Mozzie (Willie Garson)

"It's about doing what we want to do. Who cares about nine-to-five's and 401-Ks. Playing by the rules only makes... borders. They just... take away everything that's good about living life."

Mozzie has a criminal mind, but not a criminal soul. You can trust him with your life, but you'd be daft to trust him with a dollar. (Thank you, Sir Pterry.)

Diana Barrigan (Marsha Thomason)

One of Peter's subordinates.


Clinton Jones (Sharif Atkins)

Another one on Peter's team.

June (Diahann Carroll)

Peter: That's not jewelry on his ankle, you know. He's a felon.
June: So was Byron.

Neal's landlady. Her husband was a con-man. She appreciate's Neal's... joie de vivre.

Garret Fowler (Noah Emmerich)

"Well, aren't you clever, Agent Burke."

He's a dirty cop! Or...

Vincent Adler (Andrew McCarthy)

"Nice try, Neal."

Okay. This guy's just dirty. A corporate sleaze.

Mathew Keller (Ross McCall)

Neal's Blue Collar counterpart
