Cast[]
Main Cast[]
- Dylan Sprayberry as Kyle Rayner/Green Lantern, an initially nineteen year old student in college, and a talented graphic artist, struggling to make his career, trying to sell his illustrations and comic books. Due to his strong will, he is chosen to take Hal Jordan's place as Green Lantern of sector 2814. Using the Green Lantern power ring, Kyle can create green energy constructs of anything his mind can comprehend. If he can imagine it, he can create it, with his artistic imagination giving him an advantage.
- Erica Durance as Carol Ferris, the manager of Ferris Air, and the fiancee of Hal Jordan, who is working with their friend Thomas to uncover Hal's disappearance. After discovering that a new Green Lantern has arrived in Coast City, Carol befriended Kyle and helped him understand his powers and helped him train, using an abandoned Ferris Air runway. Later in the series, Carol is chosen to be a Star Saphire, a member of the Violet Lantern Corps.
- Jadin Gould as Alexandra "Alex" DeWitt, Kyle's girlfriend and another student at Coast University, who works as a photographer selling pictures of Green Lantern to a local newspaper.

- Daniel Henney as Thomas "Tommy" Kalmaku, Hal's best friend and an aerospace engineer at Ferris Air. He was the first person to know of Hal's identity as Green Lantern.

Now, he does the same thing for Kyle, while working with Carol to find Hal.
- Kiersey Clemons as Nicole "Nikki" Morrison, Kyle, Alex, and Lucas' best friend and fellow classmate at Coast University, majoring in biology. Like Lucas, she quickly learned Kyle's secret. When she was younger, she suffered a traumatic event, being abducted and watching her mother's murder. Though she was affected, her mother taught her that even in the darkest soul, there is hope. In season 3 of the series, her kind soul and hopeful spirit allowed her to be chosen to become a blue lantern.
- Uriah Shelton as Lucas Carr, Kyle's best friend since childhood, and the best friend of Alex and Nicole, who majors in technological engineering at Coast University.

After he was freed, he left Earth to make up for everything he did under Parallax's control, feeling Earth was in good hands with Kyle as the Green Lantern.
- Nathan Fillion as Alan Scott, a superhero from an alternate universe, under the alias Green Lantern. As a young railroad engineer, he was gifted with a Green Lantern ring, previously wielded by a warrior who abused it and attacked a village, so the Gaurdians gave the ring a weakness of wood, so the villagers could kill him with wooden weapons. That weakness stood as it was passed on to Scott. He traveled to Earth-1, from Earth-3, to warn the Green Lanterns of that world that Parallax has stolen the energy of Oa's battery, and has entered their world to do the same thing. Along the way, he taught Kyle multiple tricks, including phasing, mind-probing, and creating worm holes.

- First appearing in volume 3, issue #48 of Green Lantern, in the aftermath of the "Emerald Twilight" storyline, Kyle Rayner was a struggling artist, living in Hollywood, with his girlfriend, Alexandra. When Hal Jordan became furious over the destruction of Coast City, he went on a murderous rampage, killing various members of the Green Lanterns and the Guardians of the Universe. The last surviving guardian, Ganthet siphoned the other guardian's powers to form a power ring, and landed on Earth, choosing a randome human to wield the ring, before dying. For some time as Green Lantern, Kyle didn't know about the Guardians or the Corps, and was known as the most powerful lantern, able to wield all seven rings at once. As the sole Green Lantern of the mid- 2000, Rayner was known as the modern age Green Lantern. For more information see Kyle Rayner.

However, when he learned of Tom's dislike of the name, he defended him against an arrogant pilot, which is how they became friends. For more information see Thomas Kalmaku.
