This was done because Harm felt that Mattie, being a teenager would need a femle role model. Mattie freaked him out when he realized that someone had to take her shopping for bras. She is later assumed to be Mattie's foster mom, Harm's wife by a teacher of Mattie's when she goes to a Parent-Teacher conference in Harm's place while he is away on a court case.

He was a no nonsense, gruff CO and former Navy SEAL but always had his "people's" back. When he announced his retirement, JAG really missed him.

Harm's first partner. She was reassigned but she later returned as a guest star in three episodes (actress Andrea Parker left the series to star in The Pretender). She and Harm were kind of attracted to each other, and had a "weekend" together, but it fell apart when they realized it was just a thoughtless fling. Pike is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and Harvard Law School..

Rear Admiral Al Brovo, USN (JAGC)

Played by Kevin Dunn. Pilot episode & Season 1.

The first Judge Advocate General of the Navy in the series, with a weird sense of humor. His aide, Commander Theodore Lindsey, was often the butt of his jokes.

Commander Theodore Lindsey, USN (JAGC)

Played by W. K. Stratton. Seasons 1-8, 13 episodes.

He was Admiral Brovo's assistant (and often the butt of his jokes) and briefly served as acting Judge Advocate General in between Admiral Brovo and the arrival of Admiral Chegwidden. He was not kept on the staff at JAG headquarters by Admiral Chegwidden and was appointed as an aide to the Secretary of the Navy, Alexander Nelson (it was later revealed that the Admiral had no confidence in his abilities). Nelson's successor, Edward Sheffield, appointed Lindsey to audit JAG headquarters, and he came with aim of revenge, not only of the JAG personnel but against Admiral Chegwidden, who prevented him from reaching his rank of Captain.

Lindsey recommends that most of the senior staff be reassigned. However, when his bias is revealed, his report is disregarded by the SECNAV and he is fired from the staff.

Commander Lindsey later engaged in an extra marital affair with Lieutenant Loren Singer, who attempted to blackmail him when she fell pregnant. After receiving $5000 from Lindsey, Singer slipped on ice and hit her head on a bridge railing. Commander Lindsey thought about calling for an ambulance but then decided to throw Singer over the bridge and attempted to frame Commander Harmon Rabb for the crime. Rabb was subsequently charged with murder but was cleared when NCIS Special Agents Anthony DiNozzo and Vivian Blackadder found the real culprit. It is revealed during the interrogation of Lindsey that he was not the father of Lieutenant Singer's baby and she therefore had nothing on him. Commander Lindsey pleaded out to involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to eight years in Fort Leavenworth.

Rear Admiral Thomas Boone, USN

Played by Terry O'Quinn. Seasons 1-8, 10 episodes.

Friend and colleague of Harm's father whom Rabb saves from court martial several times. His first appearance on the show was as the CAG aboard the USS Seahawk. Admiral Thomas Boone had a long and distinguished career in the United States Navy, rising to the rank of Rear Admiral and was considered for promotion to Vice Admiral. However, due to allegations of war crimes he committed in Vietnam in 1968, he was subsequently court-martialed. Although he was acquitted of the charges, he requested retirement from the US Navy and was never promoted to Vice Admiral. He later returned to active service briefly after 9/11 as an advisor to the Secretary of the Navy, retiring for the second and final time around Christmas of 2002.

Captain Alison Krennick, USN (JAGC)

Played by Andrea Thompson. Seasons 1 & 9, 7 episodes.

Harm's direct superior in the first season and Admiral Chegwidden's second-in-command after his introduction.

Her first appearance was as the Navy prosecutor in the first court-martial against Captain Thomas Boone, after he shot down a Serbian Mil Mi-24 Hind without authorization. She came back in the following episode as deputy to the newly appointed JAGC, Rear Admiral A.J. Chegwidden. Through the end of Season 1, she played a seduction game with Harm (even though she was his direct superior, a clear violation of military protocols).

She returned as a guest star in season 9, in which an alternate version of Krennick had risen to the rank of Rear Admiral and was now head of JAG.

SecNav Alexander Nelson

Played by Paul Collins. Seasons 1-8, 32 episodes.

United States Secretary of the Navy. Often clashed with Admiral Chegwidden and his staff over political issues. Was forced to resign in the aftermath of the near-catastrophic Al-Qaeda attack against the USS Seahawk (thwarted by Harm, Mac, Sturgis, Bud, Lt. Singer, and Admiral Chegwidden).

Played by Chuck Carrington. Seasons 2-9, 102 episodes.

Chegwidden's yeoman. He has a half-brother, Edward Proxy, a gay man who was once gay-bashed by a friend of Gunnery Sgt Galindez. Tiner was often part of comic relief in JAG HQ. He left early in season 9 after graduating from law school and being accepted into Officer Candidate School.

Special Agent Clayton Webb

Played by Steven Culp. Seasons 2-10, 41 Episodes.

A CIA agent that initially claimed being from State Department. He later became a rival and sometimes an ally of JAG, achieving the position of Deputy Director Counter Intelligence. Webb was often intimidated by an angry Admiral Chegwidden when his operations got Harm and/or Mac in a jam. He and Mac were briefly married under cover. Mac and his real relationship ended when he faked his own death and Mac decided she could not deal with the deceptions involved in his work anymore.

Lieutenant Loren Singer, USN (JAGC)

Played by Nanci Chambers. Seasons 5-8, 40 episodes.

An ambitious JAG advocate. Singer was consumed by her continual efforts to further her career at the expense of those around her. She often clashed with the other characters; Harm did not trust her, Mac was aghast at having to prosecute a case Singer was lead attorney on, and Turner said he would never work with her again after she falsely claimed to be Jewish in order to influence a case involving a Marine who converted to Judaism and went AWOL. Especially praised was an episode in which Singer attacked Harriet (a character much beloved by fans) by using the death of her baby Sarah to discredit her testimony in court. In a later episode, however, Harriet got a measure of revenge by punching out Singer. It was strongly implied that Singer had been abused when she was a child.

She had an affair with Rabb's half-brother Sergei Zhukov, Commander Theodore Lindsey, and a third unidentified man that was the father of her baby. Shortly after, Singer was murdered, with suspicion falling on Rabb, who was eventually cleared (the two part story detailing the investigation into Singer's murder was used as the pilot for the spin off NCIS). Her real murderer was Commander Lindsey.

Actress Nanci Chambers, in real life the wife of series star David James Elliot, also played the assassin in Season 2's "Washington Holiday."

Midshipman Third Class Mikey Roberts, USNA

By the end of the series, he was dating Cammie, General Gordon Cresswell's daughter. It was clear, he planned on trying to make it permanent, telling Bud he loved her.

The actor also played a man in a boat in Season 1's "Pilot" and a pizza delivery boy in Season 3's "Ghost Ship."

Congresswoman Bobbi Latham

Played by Anne-Marie Johnson. Seasons 3-7, 17 episodes.

A Congresswoman with interest on woman's rights and occasional romantic interest of Harm. She later dated Commander Turner for a while despite a disastrous beginning. Tended to take a hard and often critical line towards the military, especially on cases involving the V-22 Osprey and an ambush in Sierra Leone, but was also shown to be fair-minded.

Lieutenant Commander Mic Brumby, CSC, RAN

Played by Trevor Goddard. Seasons 4-6, 41 episodes.

A Royal Australian Navy officer who came to JAG in an exchange program and became involved with Mac. Mic was frequently called "Bugme" by Harm. In Australia, he and Rabb even came to blows over Mac.

He finally left for Australia when he realized Mac was in love with Harm. Last seen in Dulles Airport with one last look at "Mac" as she tried to stop him from leaving.

Gunnery Sergeant Victor Galindez, USMC

Played by Randy Vasquez. Seasons 5-9.

A Gunnery Sergeant ("Gunny") assigned to Afghanistan and later to training who Mac recruited for JAG.

He used to be a sheriff deputy until he got injured and fell into alcohol. His friend Manny saved him and Gunny later enlisted. Gunny once intervened to separate Manny from another man in a fight and he found himself accused of gay-bashing. The gay man, Edward Proxy, was the half-brother of PO Tiner, who was a key witness of the defense. He was absolved by a military judge, but an ambitious prosecutor tried him in a civilian court. Admiral Chegwidden defended him and he was also absolved.

Later, he transferred out because he wanted to return to first line combat following the events of 9/11. He was later seen in episodes set in both Afghanistan and Iraq, on occasion working with the CIA and Clayton Webb. He became a key figure in Harm's rescue of Mac and Webb in Paraguay.

Played by Jade Carter. Seasons 6-8, 10 episodes.

Harm's Russian half-brother, the son of Harmon Rabb, Sr. and a Gypsy woman. A Sergeant in the Russian Army, he first met Harm when he was accused of selling weapons to Chechen separatists.

The second United States Secretary of the Navy in the series. Formerly a US Senator, he first appeared in one of Donald Bellisario's other series, First Monday. He assigned Commander Lindsey to audit the JAG due to political pressure. He was forced to study Lindsey's report due to its harshness and told Admiral Chegwidden to study the report and defend himself. He finally rejects the accusations, in great part due to the glowing report of LCDR Tracy Manetti, whom he placed undercover to be his eyes and ears in the JAG HQ.

Played by Isabella Hofmann. Seasons 7-9, 18 episodes.

Meredith Cavanaugh was the last romantic interest of Admiral A. J. Chegwidden in the series. They meet when she went to JAG headquarters to meet with Col.

Estranged from her alcoholic father, who was driving the night her mother died in a car accident, she became a foster daughter to Rabb until reuniting with her father. She later learned that her father was not drunk during the accident, because he was not arrested afterwards and under Virginia law he would have been automatically sent to jail if he'd been legally intoxicated. A bi-plane accident left her possibly paralyzed for life and her father relapsed into alcoholism.

Played by Jeff MacKay. Seasons 3-10, 10 episodes.
