Editing Even Stevens (section)

==Characters==

===Main===
* Louis Anthony Stevens ([[Shia LaBeouf]]) – Louis, the youngest Stevens sibling, is viewed as immature, rude, lazy, selfish, carefree, and extremely mischievous. He concocts elaborate schemes and inventions to make his life easier. His entire family is viewed as perfect next to him, which Louis resents. He is always pulling pranks with best friend Alan Twitty. His parents seem to favor his sister Ren and brother Donnie because of the great successes both have achieved, but his parents do love him dearly and try to defend him when possible. Louis tends to do "gross" things (weird faces, poor hygiene, picking nose, etc.), much to Ren’s annoyance. While he and Ren get on each other’s nerves all the time, Louis still cares for his sister and will sometimes help and support her. Tawny Dean becomes his girlfriend at the end of the series. His birthday is on June 27 (as shown in episode 33).
* Ren Stevens ([[Christy Carlson Romano]]) – An intelligent, well-behaved, perfectionist 8th grader, Ren is the middle sibling and only daughter. She is the classic overachiever, constantly running for hall monitor and class president while trying to keep Louis's schemes from becoming disasters and ruining her good-girl reputation. Despite finding Louis annoying, Ren does care for her brother’s wellbeing and will often help him get out of trouble. She is the head newscaster for "The Wombat Report" and spent a few weeks on her school's cheerleading squad. Ren is the editor of the school newspaper and the yearbook, a straight-A student, and Principal Wexler's highly valued assistant. She destresses by singing karaoke. Despite her top-student ranking, Ren got sentenced to, and served, detention on at least one occasion. Ren's favorite color is purple.
* Donnie Stevens ([[Nick Spano]]) – Ren and Louis' athletic older brother. Donnie is highly concerned with his appearance. His popularity, looks, and athletic skills made him a heartthrob and legend at their school, even after his graduation. He is often depicted as unintelligent and rarely knows what is going on.
* Steve Stevens ([[Tom Virtue]]) – A lawyer and the patriarch of the Stevens family. He played [[college football]] for [[Michigan State University]] with the nickname "Stiffie" Stevens. He is a Christian man and used to be a wrestler for his school.
* Eileen Stevens ([[Donna Pescow]]) – The matriarch of the Stevens family; a successful, no-nonsense, [[American Jews|Jewish American]] [[California Senate|state senator]] who launched a campaign for the [[United States House of Representatives|U.S. House of Representatives]] in 2002 and was narrowly defeated.
* Alan Twitty ([[A. J. Trauth]]) – Louis' closest best friend. Referred to as "Twitty" by his friends, he is similar to Louis but usually is not as extreme and often has to get Louis out of situations. He participates in sports such as basketball and baseball, plays guitar, and also cheers with girls. Twitty's catch phrases are "Dude" and "Sweet". When going undercover with Louis he goes by the name "Lars Honeytoast."
* Tawny Dean ([[Margo Harshman]]) – Louis's female best friend and eventually his girlfriend. At first, Tawny has no friends and is an outsider until she meets Louis. Tawny usually dresses in [[Goth subculture|goth]] clothing, unlike her classmates, and refuses to conform to others' pursuits. She is usually the voice of reason.
* Ruby Mendel (Lauren Frost) – Ren's best friend who loves to gossip about crushes and dating couples. She once was attracted to Louis (while under the spell of a lucky penny), in the same episode that she was infatuated with boy band [[BBMak]]. Ruby is in love with Tom Gribalski. Ruby speaks with a heavy Brooklyn accent.

===Recurring===
* Thomas "Tom" Gribalski ([[Fred Meyers]]) – Louis' nerdy best friend. When Louis cooks up a scheme, Tom usually plays along with Ren Stevens. So, she can be his ex-girlfriend. Also, Tom speaks in a very scientific, philosophical, and intelligent manner. He is commonly the victim of many pranks by Louis and Twitty. He calls his mother by her name (Doris). In season 3, Doris is seen playing the piano when Tom auditions for SACCY, a performing arts school.
* Monique Taylor (Kenya Williams) – Ren's other best friend. Monique is a perky cheerleader. Monique takes many things to extreme limits. She has a strong [[Southern American English|Southern accent]].
* Nelson Minkler ([[Gary LeRoi Gray]]) – Ren's childhood best friend who seems to be allergic to everything and overprotects himself when he's outside. He is usually with Ren, and at times Donnie, but has spoken to Louis only once. He is fluent in French. Nelson was also Gray's character's name on ''[[The Cosby Show]]'' as a child.
* Bernard "Beans" Aranguren ([[Steven Anthony Lawrence]]) – The Stevens' extremely annoying neighbor, who comes into their home uninvited, makes himself at home, and refuses to leave. His love for bacon is a recurring theme, and in "Little Mr. Sacktown" he visits a bacon shack. He eventually turns into a sidekick for Louis and Twitty's schemes, usually double crossing the two.
* Lawrence Anthony "Larry" Beale ([[Ty Hodges]]) – Ren's nasty, equally popular, charismatic, know-it-all rival in school. Larry hates Ren and always tries to destroy her reputation, but his schemes usually backfire. His favorite victim is Ren, but he occasionally tries to ruin Louis as well. Larry is secretly jealous of Ren and considers Louis a threat, but will never admit it. Larry is an Army brat. In the movie, he hinted he might even have romantic feelings for her, as he shows a bit of jealousy when it showed that Ren was sharing a kiss with an actor.
* Coach Terry Tugnut ([[Jim Wise]]) – The gym coach who is always tough on Louis but crazy about Donnie, Larry, and food. He loves to eat. Once he weighed over 300 lbs. He is frequently the victim of Louis' pranks. Coach Tugnut often serves as Wexler's enforcer/sidekick. He is obsessed with dodgeball and with the three "major points" (arm, head, stomach). A running gag throughout the series is Coach Tugnut shouting, "Stevens!" when Louis causes trouble.
* Conrad Wexler (George Anthony Bell) – The principal of Lawrence Jr High. Principal Wexler favors Ren over the other students. They have had arguments, but they're good friends. Ren is his student assistant, while Louis drives him crazy. He usually makes Ren do his dirty work.
* Carla and Marla ([[Lisa Foiles]] and Krysten Leigh Jones) – Two girls who look up to Ren. Carla and Marla are both on the newspaper staff with Ren and Ruby. After the episode "Quest for Coolness", Carla and Marla are never seen or mentioned again.
* Bobby Deaver (Brandon Davis) – Ren's middle-school boyfriend; he appeared in seven episodes. Ren broke up with Bobby when he was cheating on her by dating Mandy Sanchez, a rival of Ren's. But, Louis convince her to be Tom Gribalski's girlfriend.
* Ivan ([[Eric Jungmann]]) – Larry Beale's yes-man sidekick in the first season, although he occasionally serves as a yes-man for other popular kids, such as Blake Thompson in the episode "Louis in the Middle".
