List of Monk Characters

List Of Monk Characters

The following is a list of characters of Monk, an American comedy-drama detective mystery television series, created by Andy Breckman and starring Tony Shalhoub as the titular character, Adrian Monk. Except for two changes, the principal cast of the series remained consistent. For the first three seasons Sharona Fleming was Monk's assistant. She left to re-marry her ex-husband in the middle of season three. She was replaced by Natalie Teeger, in the episode "Mr. Monk and the Red Herring", and remained Monk's assistant for the remainder of the series. Stanley Kamel, who portrayed Monk's therapist, Dr. Charles Kroger, died of a heart attack in April 2008, during the production hiatus in between seasons six and seven. That character was replaced by Dr. Neven Bell (Hector Elizondo), who remained for the final two seasons.

Although their names appeared in the opening credits, Ted Levine and Jason Gray-Stanford had occasional absences from the series. Thus, Tony Shalhoub was the only cast member to appear in all 125 episodes.

    “Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
    Went down the list of the dead.
    Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
    The crews of the gig and yawl,
    The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
    Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
    —Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)

    “Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
    —Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

    “A monk ther was, a fair for the maistrie,
    An outridere, that lovede venerie,
    A manly man, to been an abbot able.”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    “No one of the characters in my novels has originated, so far as I know, in real life. If anything, the contrary was the case: persons playing a part in my life—the first twenty years of it—had about them something semi-fictitious.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
