Cast

Main cast

• Lil' Romeo as Romeo "Ro" Miller, the main character and leader of the family band ("The Romeo Show").Romeo wants to make it big and he wants to make it big NOW! A little bit rapper and a little bit basketball star, Romeo is a whole lot of mischievous. He's quick to find himself in trouble, but he's just as quick to sweet talk his way out of any situation. Romeo digs shooting hoops, rapping with his group Pieces of the Puzzle, and hanging with his family—which is a good thing, since they also happen to be in his band. He has a vivid imagination and wants to conquer the world—but first he's gotta conquer middle school...

• Master P as Percy Miller, Romeo's father, a record producer who often offers good advice.Percy's a hard-working record executive who deals with musicians all day long—which is a piece of cake compared to what he deals with at home. Percy's a great dad who always seems to find out about the trouble his four kids are getting into, even when he's on the road. His musical talent definitely rubbed off on his kids, who are determined to make it in the music biz. But they won't be getting an easy in from Dad—Percy's favorite piece of fatherly advice is that "If you want something bad enough, you'll figure out how to get it on your own."

• Erica O'Keith as Jodi Miller, ex-lead singer of the band who is now in college.: Romeo's older sister Jodi gets straight As, is supremely popular and has tons of boyfriends and a booming voice she lends to the family band. Jodi's got it goin' on—and she knows it. Though she tries to make it seem like being so together comes naturally, she works hard to stay on top. Jodi's biggest pet peeve? Being told what to do. She's got all the answers and thinks she's always right—until her dad comes home, at least.
• Noel Callahan as Louis Testaverde, Romeo's adopted brother who is the same age as him and plays the keyboard for the band.Though he wasn't born into the family, the newest member of the Miller clan has certainly become a crucial part of the mix—not to mention the band. The Millers adopted Louis a few years back, and he quickly became Romeo's best friend and partner in crime. Unlike his brother Romeo, who's like a magnet for trouble, Louis likes to think things through. Not that all that thinking ever stops him from going along with Romeo's convoluted schemes anyway...

• Zachary Isaiah Williams as Gary Miller, Romeo's little brother who does the turntables for the band.Gary's the baby of the Miller family. He looks up to his brothers, sister and dad, and can basically get away with whatever he wants because he's got the cute thing going on. Gary's also a member of the family band, Pieces of the Puzzle. He's got a great ear for music, but his musical tastes don't always do it for the rest of the family. But hey, he's only six!

• Natashia Williams as Angeline "Angie" Eckert Miller (2004-2006), the band's stepmother.When Angeline met Percy a year ago, it was clear her life was never going to be the same. After they got married, she became the Miller kids' stepmom. Angeline's an extremely kind, loving and smart mom, and she keeps the Millers on their toes with her uncanny ability to figure out what everyone in the room is thinking—just by looking at them! As an architect, Angeline uses blueprints to plan her projects, but it looks like she's already got the Millers all mapped out!

• Victoria Jackson as Marie Rogers (2003-2004), the family's nutty nanny who used to work at the circus.Mrs.Rogers is the Live-in nanny for the Miller family, although she cant do the same things as all the other Nanny's like cook,clean, or help the children with their homework, shes still good and funny.

Recurring cast

• Brittney Wilson as Myra Salinger, who used to have a crush on Romeo but currently is dating Louis.Myra's the Millers' next door neighbor and Romeo's enemy number one. She's had a crush on Romeo since...well...forever, and the fact that he's becoming a big time musician only makes her more determined to be his girlfriend. But even though Myra is completely and totally annoying, Romeo can't deny she's a great listener, and sometimes even asks her advice when there's no one else around. And believe it or not, he usually doesn't regret it. Usually!

• Simeon Taole as Riley Morrison (2004-2006), Romeo's best friend.
• Ashley Phillips as Ashley Phillips (2006), the new lead singer of the band who goes to Romeo's and Louis' school.
• Bobby Miller, Percy and Angeline's baby son.
