Main Characters

Main Characters

  • Ms. O / Agent Oprah (Millie Davis) - Head of Odd Squad, the stern Ms. O leads the organization with an iron fist. Whenever something goes wrong, she has the tendency to yell and is frequently seen sipping a juice box. Despite appearing younger than most of the agents, Ms. O has worked for Odd Squad since the 1870s, and her actual age remains a mystery. Before she was Ms. O, she worked as an Odd Squad field agent, and became Ms. O by passing a test set up by the previous Ms. O in 1983. Before she worked as an agent, she worked at a fruit stand in the 1800s. Her first name is Oprah.
  • Agent Olive (Dalila Bela age 13) - A young veteran agent of Odd Squad, Olive is adapting to working with and training her new partner, rookie agent Otto. Olive is usually calm, brisk, and serious, unless the subject turns to her favorite basketball team, the Bears. She has a morbid fear of pies.
  • Agent Otto (Filip Geljo age 12) - Olive's partner, the newest Odd Squad agent. He turned ten in the first episode. The fun-loving Otto acts as a comic foil to Olive's straight-man demeanor, frequently annoying her. Although a rookie, Otto frequently uncovers the facts needed to solve the case at hand, even doing so in Olive's absence, proving his worth as an agent.
  • Agent Oscar (Sean Michael Kyer) - Odd Squad's resident scientist and gadgeteer, Oscar is a quirky genius who spends most of his time at Odd Squad Headquarters tinkering with gadgets in his lab. Incredibly knowledgeable, Olive and Otto go to him for technical solutions to their problems. Oscar has a goofy side, delivering his zany scientific rants with a generous dose of hand gestures and vocal sound effects.
  • Math Room (voiced by T.J. McGibbon) - The virtual-space construct which Odd Squad agents can retreat to the room by twisting their badges when they need to visualize mathematical problems. When transport is initiated, they start to spin and sometimes get to the Math Room dizzy. The Math Room is inhabited by sentient origami papers with a unified personality and hive mind. The origami can unfold to visualize numbers, charts, and instant replays as instructed by agents. The Math Room also goes by Carol, and is addressed as such by Ms. O. The Math was originally invented by Ms. O before she joined Odd Squad in the 1800's.

Supporting Characters

  • Polly Graph (Ava Preston) - A girl who runs a hot chocolate or lemonade stand outside her house. Odd Squad agents frequently patronize her stand. She's very fond of graphs and always has just the right visual representation to deal with the situation at hand.
  • Agent Orson (Landon and Logan Rowan) - The youngest Odd Squad agent, Orson is a baby, whose primary job is handling paperwork and answering the phone.
  • Agent Oren (Brendan Heard) - Agent Olaf's partner. Snarky and arrogant, Oren and his partner have an ongoing rivalry with Olive and Otto. Unlike their industrious rivals, Oren likes to weasel his way out of work whenever possible. Oren likes to brag and considers himself Odd Squad's best agent. Oren has a fear of pancakes and dreams of becoming director of Odd Squad. He didn't appear with Olaf in either "Reindeer Games" or "Rise of the Hydraclops".
  • Agent Olaf (Eshaan Buadwal) - Agent Oren's partner. Olaf is happy-go-lucky and jovial in nature, but tends to be very simple-minded. Despite this, he has shown to have moments of intelligence, often to the shock and amazement of his fellow agents. He shares Oren's penchant for laziness. He dreams of becoming a dentist and fears not becoming one.
  • Agent Octavia (Julia Lalonde) - Agent Oz's partner. It was noted in an episode that she is one of Ms. O's best agents. She is usually looking for her partner, the invisible Agent Oz.
  • Agent Oz (Carson Reaume) - Agent Octavia's partner. On one mission, he accidentally turned himself irreversibly invisible by misfiring a gadget (while looking down its barrel). He still works at Odd Squad, and is among the top agents, although it's hard for his partner to keep tabs on him.
  • Agent Orchid (Michela Luci) - One of the younger agents. She tends to be extremely stubborn.
  • Dr. O (Peyton Kennedy) The head doctor of Odd Squad. She's know for her eccentric behavior and frequently says things that make no sense, whilst frequently reminding the agents "I'm a doctor!" in a manner reminiscent of Star Trek's Dr. McCoy.
  • Odell (Elijah Hammil) - A nurse agent who works under Dr. O.
  • Agent Owen (Christian Distefano) - The head of Odd Squad security.
  • Agent O'Brian (Kyle Harrison Breitkopf) - An agent engineer who runs the tube system Odd Squad agents use for transportation. Can be frequently heard calling out his catch phrase "squishinating!" as he preps the agents for tube transport. In another reference to Star Trek (this time to Transporter Chief O'Brien), all the tube system agents have Irish surnames. O'Brian has a tendency to hold petty grudges, and has been know to deny tube access to agents who offend him.
  • Mayor Macklemore (Sean Cullen) - Mayor of the city. It is mentioned he used to be in a high-school singing group called The Thirties. He once told Ms. O to do the New Year's Countdown.
  • Baby Genius - A mysterious infant whom the Odd Squad agents bargain with for solutions to otherwise unsolvable problems. Baby Genius is never shown onscreen, only his black leather pram pushed by his inconsistently-accented Russian nanny. Baby Genius cannot speak, so his nanny, Rivka (Meghan Allen), interprets for him. The agents are terrified of him for an unspecified reason.
  • The Baker (Aisha Alfa) - A recurring character in many Odd Squad episodes, the Baker runs a bakery in town and frequently requests the help of Odd Squad in solving problems around her shop.
  • Delivery Debbie (Ashley Botting) - A local caterer who delivers pizza. After Debbie contracts a case of "the Doubles," three duplicates of herself appear. She turns to Odd Squad for help, but later decides to keep her doubles around to help her with her pizza business.
  • Delivery Doug (Ali Hassan) - Debbie's chief business competition who runs a take-out egg sandwich business.
  • Tommy Two-sie (Sharjil Rasool) - A local character who likes to have two of everything. He frequently gets blamed for crimes he didn't commit and runs away from Odd Squad when confronted, even when he's innocent. He wears two hats, two shirts, two watches, and two pairs of pants held up by two belts.
  • Agent O'Hara - One of the female tube system engineers.
  • Agent O'Malley (Jack Fulton) - Another agent who works running the tube system.
  • Agent O'Callaghan (David Webster) - A tube system operator with bright red hair which looks like a wig.
  • Agent O'Donnell (Amariah Faulkner) - A particularly bright and cheerful tube system engineer who wears her red hair in pigtails.
  • Agent O'Duffey - An agent engineer responsible for the Headquarters security code.
  • Agent Oksana (Madeleine Barbeau) - Odd Squad's resident cook, who prepares all the meals by herself. She has a deadpan manner.
  • Agent Obfusco (Jaeden J. Noel) - An Odd Squad agent and cross-cultural expert who speaks in obscure riddles. He's difficult for the other agents to understand, and extremely peculiar, even for an organization named Odd Squad, so the other agents try to avoid working with him. He has a sister named Obfuscolina who is even odder and is hard for even him to understand.
  • Agent O'Grady - A tube system operator.
  • Agent O'Donahue - Ms. O's old partner. He retired after he and Oprah failed to solve an ongoing case. After leaving Odd Squad, he worked as a fisherman, until Ms. O required his help in catching the perpetrating villain, Equal Evan.
  • Mr. O - The head of the Odd Squad agency in the next town over who has an ongoing rivalry with Ms. O.
  • Agent Ori - New agent. He tends to run off into dangerous places. Not to be confused with Agent Oren.
  • Agent O'Connor - He helps Oscar on odd reports. He says everything excitedly. Most of his dialogue is "Yeah!"

The Odd Squad seal is a Jackalope holding a shield depicting himself and a bunch of bananas. The jackalope makes different sounds during scene transitions.
